Hear What Folks Are Saying About Working With Carla
I’M A CHANGED MAN, ON A TRAJECTORY OF GROWTH
BASHAR J. KATOU, CEO and Founder of BJK University, Miami, FL
“I was struggling with high levels of anxiety. I felt like life had stopped for me and I didn’t know what else to do. I was pretty lost. I had never felt this kind of anxiety, you know, panic attacks, and just didn’t know where and what to do about life anymore. Since starting to work with Carla on a weekly basis and doing quarterly intensives, I’ve been on a trajectory of personal growth. I'm just really wanting to go out there and help more. And that was because I've been able to learn how to listen to my inner wisdom and really not allowing the thoughts to clutter my mind and allow my inner wisdom to come up. It’s been incredible.”
LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE, MASSIVE EVOLUTION
ANIK SINGAL, Entrepreneur & Founder of Lurn, Inc., Rockville, MD
“I’m an entrepreneur and I’ve started many companies. I’m one of those go get ‘em, burn myself out, work 24/7 kind of people. My health was deteriorating. In working with Carla, I’ve had one of the most life changing experiences of my career. We’ve had massive evolution. My paradigm completely changed. I’ve evolved and changed. I work a lot less, focus more on health, get more done, my business is growing faster, and personally, I’m living a much more fulfilled life. My business has literally transformed unlike anything else because ‘I’ transformed. I’m not exaggerating - my life is 1000x better.”
MORE CONFIDENT & COURAGEOUS, BETTER LEADER
KEALA KANAE, CEO & Founder of Fullstaq Marketer, Las Vegas NV
“I'm more confident about my ability to lead my team than I've ever been. I’m more clear and certain about where I'm taking the company. I'm more courageous in the face of challenges and uncertainty than I've ever been. I'm not afraid to push. What a great investment! If you look at what I've put into this relationship with Carla in terms of hours and dollars, the ROI on my ability to continue to lead my organization, continue to grow my company, continue to expand while also minimizing pressure and stress and fear and uncertainty and anxiety, the ROI on that investment is just out of this world.”
FROM ANXIETY TO LIGHTNESS, EASE, PEACE
LANDON STEWART, Owner and Co-Founder at Clients & Community, Scottsdale, Arizona
“My company was growing rapidly. Along with that came crippling anxiety to where I would wake up and be scared to get into my workday. I was having trouble falling asleep, tossing and turning. I couldn’t figure out how to turn my mind off. I was so anxious. The success was everything I ever dreamt of, but I was nervous, anxious, and I got super angry. I started getting irritable with my wife and I couldn’t figure out how to control my emotions. I signed up with Carla and started seeing improvements within a matter of weeks. I started looking forward to weekends again. I feel lighter, more at ease, and have more peace.”
MY LIFE & BUSINESS HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED
TIFFANI HIGGINS, Founder, CEO of Stay at Home Bookkeeper Academy, Houston, TX
"I have a fairly large business that has grown really fast over the last couple of years. I was overwhelmed, disconnected from my family, kids, husband, and my life. I was forgetting how to enjoy life. It was deeply hurting me inside and affecting my relationships with my husband and my kids. Within a couple of months of working with Carla, I learned so much about myself, how I work, and how I think. It has totally transformed my life and my business. I’m able to step back and enjoy that extra freedom instead of adding more to my plate. I am better, happier person, a better wife, mom, and friend."
I’VE LEARNED TO STABILIZE MY EMOTIONS
CHRIS STAPLETON, Owner and Co-Founder at Clients & Community, Scottsdale, Arizona
“Growing a company of that size that quickly, started to eat me alive. I started to lose a little sleep. I started to have this stress that I didn't know really how to address. I was identifying myself to the business. Carla helped me learn to stabilize my emotions while growing a company. I have much more stability in my emotions and clarity of who I am as an individual. I am not my business and it's really been a game-changer in my happiness, my peace of mind, and how I approach problems in my business. We've also brought on multiple different staff members of our team to work with Carla. I can't recommend her enough.”
I’VE COME TO PEACE LIKE I’VE NEVER KNOWN BEFORE
JADEN EASTON-ELLET, Owner and Co-Founder at Clients & Community, Vancouver BC
“I've come to peace like I've never known before. I've developed healthy habits and tools for dealing with stress, anxiety, and pressure. I have the confidence and ability to move through stress, anxiety, and pressure with speed. I've taken control of my stories and beliefs, which has allowed me to embody the happiness that I've always been looking for. I've had friends and family tell me I'm a different person. This has been the single best investment I've made in terms of waking up each day with contentment, fulfillment, and happiness I've never known before, allowing me to become the leader I've always known I was.”
I AM MOVING MORE LIGHTLY AND FREELY
JUSTIN POULET, Client Success Director and Partner at Clients & Community, Ontario Canada
“I found myself going through the business roller coasters. I struggled with separating myself from the business, and it was affecting my personal life, my marriage, my relationship with my kids, and my mood. Now, I realize that I am not the business, the business is a part of who I am. I'm moving more lightly, more freely, and a lot of weight is off my shoulders. I have been able to excel in my marriage, in my relationship with my kids, and my overall day-to-day activities. Carla helped me optimize as a human being, but she has also helped me and our company optimize and just show up better each and every day.”
So Much More Out of My Career
I feel such relief from my debilitating anxiety. My confidence has risen. I don’t just hop on the feelings bus. I have less judgment and more compassion for others. My outlook on life is really different now. I was worried about what other people thought of me. I wasn’t very approachable. I’m living life now with more purpose and showing up being really present. I’ve gotten so much more out of my career since working with you. Ashley Klein, Attorney, Atlanta GA
I DISCOVERED MY PURPOSE & PATH
I met Carla when I was confused and anxious about where my life was heading. I was at a point where I was not able to make any life decisions and felt like I was hitting against the wall. Carla skillfully managed to explore my confusion and inquire deeper into my own self. I can truly say that Carla put me on the right track of discovering myself which has led me to discover my path and find my passion in life. Suhsant, Management Consultant, California
I’M BOLDER, Confident, AND MUCH STRONGER
I’ve gotten bolder and I’m not as worried about what other people think. I can feel it when my wall is building up and I’m able to let it go and do what needs done. I’m a better coach for my team now. I can do it afraid, and it has gotten easier. I have more peace. I’m able to have difficult conversations more easily. I’m not letting other people get under my skin. I’ve had more confidence to handle things. People are not always going to like me as a leader and that’s OK. I’m willing to be criticized, opposed, and rejected. I’m so much stronger now. Chris Ott, VP/Business Development Officer, Tampa Bay, FL
Improved Health, Finances, and Relationships
I’ve been able to address and greatly improve my health, finances and relationships, and have re-ignited interests and energy that I thought had withered. I have paid off all my debts. I work my body regularly with running, weights and yoga. My boundaries in relationships have greatly improved and I find it more comfortable to say no when I need to. Greg Eddie, Lending Analyst, Portland OR
Self-acceptance, Peace, and direction
I have experienced so much healing, less anxiety, less worry, developed more proactive behaviors, and for the first time in many years, have begun to feel a deeper sense of peace and direction… but moreover, a level of peace and working towards acceptance and permission with myself to find happiness again. Thank you again for walking this journey with me and all that you have done to nudge me along so gently and kindly....to help me heal and move along to new places. You are a master at it. I will never forget it. Lisa Hudson, Psychiatric Nurse Clinician, Augusta, GA
I’M MORE COMPASSIONATE TOWARD MYSELF
Carla’s gift is in her ability to enter into my world without judgment, speak my language, and understand my metaphors. She meets me where I am with dignity. Carla is helping me to harvest my life experience for the wisdom that is mine alone. With her help, I am revising my life narrative to be more compassionate toward myself. Working with Carla has greatly improved my relationship with reality. I highly recommend her. Fredrick Dent, Filmmaker, Professor, Seattle WA
Higher confidence, Better health, improved relationships
Carla’s gentle yet powerful guidance has helped me break through to new levels of well-being. My self-confidence is much higher; I have made permanent changes in the way I approach my physical health; my relationships with my husband and our three-year-old daughter are enhanced; and I feel excited and impassioned about my new vocation. Jen Hartley, Administrative Ninja, Menomonie WI
Less anxiety and a beautiful life
The past couple years have been the hardest years of my life, with my husband leaving me. Anxiety had become a crippling factor in my life. I was overwhelmed with fear and, as a result, highly reactive to the world around me. If you could see my life now, you would not see “perfection”; but you would see that I have built something rather beautiful indeed. Cristy Smith, Psychotherapist, Seattle WA
THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD IS NO LONGER ON MY SHOULDERS
I was all over the place and needed some direction. I was unreliable and lost in my own head. I’m learning that I’m responsible for my own happiness. I now take time for myself - I didn’t do that before. I’m trying new things. Making new friends and repairing old friendships. I’m more open. I’m no longer responsible to help everyone. I’m learning not to overwhelm myself and to slow down. I found clarity. The weight of the world is no longer on my shoulders. Maria Lozado, Business Owner, Tampa, FL
MY LIFE NOW IS SO FULL AND RICH!
Carla came to my rescue some years back - just when I needed a sympathetic ear, and a gentle push in the right direction. My life now is so full and rich. Because of this transformation, my art has blossomed in ways I never thought possible. Carla confidently held up a mirror for me. This enabled me to accurately reflect on what was holding me back from living the life I was destined to live. I am grateful to you, Carla. Adrienne A., Artist, Atlanta GA
DIVING DEEP TO MY HIGHER SELF
Carla is insightful, fun, easy, provocative, gentle and really great at creating the space so that we can reveal ourselves to ourselves. Her skill is in holding me to my higher self, helping me to reflect on my world to create a better more meaningful and more resourceful place to play in. This is a woman you want in your corner championing you as you dive deeply, fully immersed in and playfully engaging with your life. Caitriona Egan, Consultant Trainer & Facilitator, Kinvara, Ireland
Warmth, kindness, genuine concern
I’m deeply grateful for your healthy and supportive feedback. But mostly, I’m thankful for the special warmth, kindness and genuine concern you showed for me, which was worth well more than what I could ever pay. Thank you, again. James L., Manager–Multimedia, Dallas/Fort Worth, TX
Life flows More simply and peacefully
Through Carla’s ongoing support, guidance and wisdom, I am emerging as a woman I had not been in touch with before; She was always there, but well hidden amongst the corporate jobs and raising a family. My life flows at a simpler, peaceful pace compared to my old way of being and I now live with much greater grace and ease. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Carla. Julie N., Project Manager, Minnesota
STRESSFUL SITUATIONS NOW MANAGEABLE, MORE AT PEACE
I wanted to manage my stress and anxiety levels and find confidence in areas where I felt vulnerable. I also needed to decide how to proceed with a long-term project that I’d invested a great deal of time and energy in completing but felt anxious about putting out in the world fearing what might happen if I did. Through Carla’s coaching, I am able to recognize unproductive thinking that leads to stress and refocus my attention on the task at hand and the tools necessary to tackle the situation. Without all that stressful thinking, most situations immediately become more manageable. I am more at peace because of my work with her." Julie C., Writer, Educator, Award Winning Author, Atlanta
