Wise Yourself Up

Ep. 63- Grief, Feeling Closed Off, and F*cking on a Full Bush


Listen Later

Carla is back with a solo episode to catch you up on her life since August!


In this episode, she opens up about grief and how she’s dealing with it after three years since big loss. She talks about opening up to her friends, feeling more closed off in herself, and how the body always tells the truth even when your mind is telling you otherwise.


There’s always this pressure in life to be productive and to constantly do more, but Carla wants to chat about how pushing through isn’t actually what will help you heal.


Carla talks about her thoughts on The Chronology of Water (skip 21:49-23:02 if you don’t want spoilers!)


And to finish the episode off, Carla leaves you with a question… are we pro bush or not? (link to the article mentioned here )
