In this episode of Just Carla, I chat with my next-door neighbour Charlotte—journalist, author, and wisecracker—about motherhood, adoption, imposter syndrome, and turning 40. We talk about the magic of being lost, and cheering others on. It’s raw, real, slightly ridiculous, and filled with heart. Sometimes the best gift is the one you finally feel ready to open.

The first episode of The Just Carla Podcast is a happy birthday message from her husband, Brett. He tells us how they met, and the amazing adventure they are about to embark on.
