Carla rushed her healing like Sonic the Hedgehog, and if you’re the same, don’t worry, Carla’s here to share how you can overcome the resistance to healing.

In this episode, she shares the top five most common forms of resistance that come up for her clients during the healing process.

She unpacks how we try to rush the journey, how we demonise emotions like anger, how our body’s reactions reveal our core beliefs, and why rest is a form of activism.

Carla is back with a long-overdue solo episode, sharing everything that’s been going on over the past month!

She answers some listener questions on the best way to meet someone, how to give yourself space and time to grieve, and allowing yourself to truly feel your emotions.

She chats about why so many women struggle to process anger and the different ways it can manifest.

And finally, she shares how your body already holds all the answers. You don’t need more yoga classes, ice baths, or saunas. You just need to sit with yourself and rest, as this is such a crucial part of healing.

Carla’s dating life is going about as well as her luck with her phone this year...… not very good.

In this episode, Carla shares her two most recent dating experiences, getting love bombed (not for her looks, but by being hooked in with trauma talk) and also being told 'Belfast isn't real Ireland'.

She reflects on what she’s learned from dating, how she’s taking the pressure off it, and gives you six things to focus on if you’re single and looking to date.

She also finishes with your hilarious first-date stories, so stay until the end if you need a laugh.

It can be hard to invest money into a retreat when your mind is telling you, ‘I could go on a holiday for this money,’ ‘Is it really worth it?’ etc… but Carla wanted to share her experience at the retreat she attended in Wales over the weekend and the changes she’ll be making in her life as a result of this.

Carla FINALLY had a much-needed cry, had time to process the grief that was being held in her body, and gave herself space to reflect on her career, relationships, and how she was living day to day.

So if you’ve been wondering what really happens on a retreat and if it’s really worth it, give this episode a listen.

In this week’s episode, Carla discusses a topic so many of us can relate to—dating emotionally unavailable men. Sharing her own experiences, she looks at why we keep finding ourselves in these patterns, how our core beliefs shape the relationships we choose, and what’s really going on underneath all of this.

Carla also chats about the resistance that comes with doing inner work, what she’s learned from over a decade of healing, and the connection between our inner child and the choices we make as adults.

She shares how humour can really help you to heal and why unprocessed trauma often pushes us to stay busy instead of allowing ourselves to just be.
