The Devotion Potion

In this special birthday episode, Carly celebrates turning 27 with a love letter to life, partnership, and the art of receiving. She shares her reflections from a birthday morning filled with thoughtful gestures from her fiancé—a living meditation on devotion in action.

But this isn’t just about romantic love. Carly invites listeners, especially her single girlies, to dream into what’s possible in partnership when you turn your attention inward and become the energy you want to attract. She explores how love deepens when we stop seeking it outside ourselves and start embodying the qualities we desire most.

Through her personal story of long-distance love, handwritten letters, and divine timing, Carly offers inspiration to those in the waiting—reminding us that sacred union is not something you chase, but something that meets you in your readiness.

Pour yourself a cup of cacao, settle in, and let this episode be a meditation on celebration, surrender, and the sweet unfolding of becoming the one you’ve been waiting for.

In this episode, Carly dives deep into the world within — your gut. From years of personal healing and professional experience in functional medicine, she explores what it truly means to restore harmony to your body’s internal ecosystem.

This isn’t your average “gut health” talk. Carly weaves together the physical, emotional, and energetic layers of digestion — from the ways chronic stress and trauma can create inflammation, to how setting boundaries and listening to your body is the ultimate act of devotion.

She breaks down the root causes of gut imbalance and offers holistic ways to support your healing through fasting, nourishment, liver support, adaptogens, and lifestyle alignment.

You’ll also hear her reflections on the link between emotional suppression and physical illness, the wisdom of Ayurveda, and how your gut is the energetic center of personal power and intuition.

In this episode, we explore:

• The four root causes of gut imbalance and how to address them
• How stress and trauma show up in digestion
• Why healing your gut is about nervous system regulation, not perfection
• Practical tools for rebuilding your gut health (fasting, olive oil shots, adaptogens + more)
• Reframing self-care as devotion to your foundation

• Dr. Shade’s Liver Sauce
• S. Boulardii (single strain probiotic for antibiotic recovery)

Whether you’re curious about creating boundaries with distractions, uncommon ways to reconnect with your creativity, or seeking mindful ways to navigate big transitions, this Q+A will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired.

In this episode of the Devotion Potion Podcast, I finally dive into a topic that’s been close to my heart for a long time: our relationship to the masculine. For many of us, stories and inherited wounds around men have shaped how we show up in love, trust, and partnership. But what happens when we begin to release those old narratives and open to a new perspective?

I share a deeply personal journey of healing, including powerful experiences from the Fit for Service program, where I witnessed men and women in raw vulnerability and reverence. Together, we’ll explore how modern narratives like cancel culture and distorted feminism sometimes keep us stuck in resentment—and how devotion to the masculine (both within ourselves and in our relationships) can instead bring healing, polarity, and deeper trust.

We’ll touch on:

• Why so many of us carry mistrust toward men and how it shapes our relationships.
• The difference between the wounded masculine and the sacred masculine.
• How understanding men’s wiring can prevent us from taking things so personally.
• Ways to honor both our inner masculine and feminine without shame.
• My personal reflections on father wounds, polarity, and the medicine of reverence.

I close this episode with a love letter to men—an offering of gratitude, compassion, and hope for a more beautiful way forward between us.

If this conversation awakens something in you, I’d love to hear your reflections. And stay tuned for a future companion episode, Devotion to the Feminine.

Course: Returning to Reverence

In this solo episode of the Devotion Potion, Carly dives into the power of emotions and why they’re not something to suppress, bypass, or shame—but to honor. From ugly cries to primal screams into a pillow, she shares her personal practices for moving energy through the body and how doing so can actually lead to deeper empowerment, authenticity, and freedom.

Carly explores the ways we’ve been conditioned to see emotions as “too much” or “not enough” and how that disconnection creates overwhelm, depression, or disempowerment. Through embodiment practices like yoga, dance, shaking, and even the release of orgasm, she reminds us that emotions are messengers—not enemies.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too emotional,” or if you’ve struggled with shutting down, numbing out, or projecting onto others, this episode offers both tough love and compassionate tools to help you reclaim your authentic expression.

Mentioned in this episode:

• The role of emotions in nervous system regulation
• The link between suppressed emotions and physical symptoms
• Feminine expression as a superpower, not a burden
• Why authenticity is the highest frequency we can embody
• Carly’s self-paced course Returning to Reverence (donation-based & open now!)

Course: Returning to Reverence

In this solo episode, Carly reflects on how her understanding of self-care has shifted away from beauty standards, consumerism, and the endless chase for “enoughness.” Recorded outdoors with nature as a co-host, she explores what it means to honor our bodies and spirits in real time—not as a way to fix or perfect ourselves, but as love notes to who we already are. Carly shares personal revelations sparked by astrology, Ayurveda, and wedding planning pressures, and how slowing down has actually made her more productive and deeply connected to her own rhythms.

May this episode serve as a reminder that true self-care isn’t about buying products or checking boxes—it’s about creating sacred space, slowing down, and choosing practices that bring joy while you’re doing them, not just afterward. Carly invites listeners to reconsider what self-care means for them, and to carve out even small moments of presence, joy, and reverence in their daily lives.

In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Carly dives headfirst into the art of failing forward and reframes our cultural aversion to getting it “wrong.” She shares the intimate behind-the-scenes of abandoning a major creative project (and resurrecting it again), what it taught her about patience, perfectionism, and process, and how failure might actually be a portal to freedom—not shame.

This episode is for anyone who's ever talked themselves out of completing a passion project, doubted their creativity, or feared being seen. Carly opens up about the pressure of deadlines, the trap of performative authenticity, the medicine in letting things be messy, and how her dreams quite literally guided her back to unfinished work.

Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, recovering perfectionist—or all three—this episode is a compassionate reminder that failing doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re becoming.

Reflective, raw, and wildly motivating—this episode is a love letter to the part of you that’s scared to try again.

✨ Topics explored:

• Why deadlines matter (and when they don’t)
• The wisdom in failing publicly
• Letting creativity choose you
• Reclaiming authenticity in a hyper-curated world
• The power of showing up messy, anyway
• Tending to your art like a living spirit
• And the not-so-linear process of bringing a course to life

In this special storytelling episode, Carly shares a deeply personal and wildly imaginative tale called The Girl and the Pearl—a fantasy-fueled fable that serves as both myth and memoir. Through the eyes of a girl named Zazie, we explore themes of grief, sacrifice, soul retrieval, and the journey toward reverence and reclamation. Born from one of the most transformational years of Carly’s life, this original story weaves mythic archetypes, symbolism, and soulwork into a rich audio tapestry of healing, death, and rebirth. If you've ever felt like you had to give up parts of yourself to become whole again, this one is for you. Press play to drop into the deep waters of the feminine psyche—and maybe even reclaim a pearl of your own.

In this deeply resonant and inspiring episode, Carly sits down with the multifaceted artist and sound alchemist Graham Dern. What starts as an interview quickly evolves into an intimate exploration of devotion, creativity, self-initiated rites of passage, and the powerful tethering that occurs when we commit to our art.

Graham shares his lifelong relationship with music, how he rediscovered creative freedom by moving away from rigid structures, and how sound became a spiritual language for him. Together, Carly and Graham reflect on journaling, grief, memory, and how honoring the stories of our elders keeps their essence alive.

The episode also dives into Graham’s powerful dopamine detox experiments and the Daily 10s ritual—a practice of reclaiming agency over our attention and focus. Graham unpacks how our relationship with cheap dopamine hijacks our creativity, and how choosing discipline becomes a path to presence, power, and sustainable artistry.

They also discuss the life-changing impact of the Dharma Artist Collective—a growing global community for artists dedicated to turning their creative calling into embodied devotion. Whether you're curious about death cookies, dharma sprints, or just want to get your ass handed to you by yourself (with love), this one is for you.

* The power of storytelling and elder wisdom

* Grief, memory, and the sacred tether of ritual
