Karla's Greatest Hits: How Things Got Better in my 30s
Hey everyone! It’s just me today, going solo to talk about something I’ve been reflecting on a lot lately, how life actually got better in my 30s. When I was in my 20s, everything felt like a race.

But somewhere along the way, I realized that peace, focus, and health feel a lot more like real success than chaos ever did. In this episode, I’m sharing some of the biggest lessons I’ve lear

You’re Not Crazy, You’re Remembering: Healing Through Spiritual Awakening and Somatic Work with Gabriella Cacciatore
What does it look like to actually heal through the body? Most of the time people don't even touch into their body—they're just in their head and that's how they're living. Today, I sit down with trauma coach, spiritual mentor, and author Gabriella Cacciatore to explore how entrepreneurs might be unconsciously running their businesses from unprocessed trauma. Gabriella is the author of "Unbroken," a raw memoir about surviving childhood sexual abuse, remembering repressed trauma, and healing thro

Why Debate Was the Best Preparation for Life, Career, and Business with Kim Castillo
This episode has been a long time coming. I’m joined by one of my favorite people in the world—Kim, who happens to be a User Experience Program Manager at Google.

Kim leads the cross-functional research efforts for DORA (yes, that DORA report) and manages user research initiatives under Google Cloud. But before she became the boss lady she is now, she and I were teammates on the col

Helping Men Quit Porn and Other Vices with Devin McDermott
For a while now, I’ve always thought about the looming societal collapse brought about by porn.

That news was so shocking to me, and the more I delved into its story, it broke my heart how big the problem is.
