As we step into Thanksgiving week, many women find themselves carrying invisible emotional weight, saying yes when they want to say no, suppressing their needs to keep the peace, and shrinking themselves to meet expectations.

In this heartfelt episode, Coach Carla guides you through the deeply rooted pattern of self-betrayal and how it often resurfaces during the holiday season.

Whether it's family dynamics, old roles, guilt, or the pressure to show up in ways that no longer reflect your truth, this episode meets you right where you are.

Together, we explore how self-betrayal forms, why it feels familiar, and what it looks like to choose yourself gently, honestly, and without guilt.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

- Why the holidays can trigger old wounds, emotional responsibilities, and patterns of self-abandonment.

- How self-betrayal becomes a learned survival response, and how to break that cycle.

- Practical, compassionate ways to honor your voice, boundaries, and emotional well-being.

- Healing reflections to help you navigate Thanksgiving with clarity and peace.

- A powerful reminder that choosing yourself is not selfish, it’s sacred.

This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your truth, protect your peace, and create new patterns rooted in self-honoring instead of self-sacrifice.

If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, people-pleasing, or the pressure to perform during the holidays, this episode will speak to your soul.

In this powerful episode of Woman Heal Podcast, Coach Carla dives deep into the quiet, yet life-shaping narratives we all carry; the ones that tell us we’re not enough, too broken, unworthy, or destined to repeat the same cycles.

These inner lies can shape how we love, lead, and live… unless we learn to challenge and reframe them.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

• The hidden power your beliefs have over your choices, relationships, and identity.

• How toxic narratives form in survival seasons and begin masquerading as truth.

• Real examples of common lies we tell ourselves, and how to reframe them with compassion and clarity.

• Why observing your thoughts without judgment is one of the strongest tools for emotional healing.

• How to break cycles by confronting the thought–emotion–behavior pattern.

• Reflection prompts to help you shift your inner dialogue and step into a healthier, grounded version of yourself.

Drawing from her books Therapy Taught Me This and How to Love Yourself When Life Keeps Hurting You, Coach Carla reminds us that healing begins in the mind, but transformation happens when we replace fear-based beliefs with truth, grace, and resilience.

If you’re ready to detox your thoughts, reclaim your identity, and rewrite the narratives that have been holding you hostage, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Tune in, take a deep breath, and remember:
You are not your pain. You are proof that healing is possible.

In this episode of the Woman Heal Podcast, Carla dives deep into the power of detachment and the freedom that comes from releasing what no longer serves your peace. Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do for yourself and others is to let go.

Carla explains that letting go doesn’t mean you don’t care; it means you’re choosing peace over chaos, healing over control, and growth over guilt.

You’ll learn how to practice healthy detachment without shutting down emotionally, how to release people and situations with grace, and how to create space for your next level of wholeness.

💫 Listen in if you’re ready to:

- Break free from emotional attachment

- Set boundaries rooted in love, not fear

- Reclaim your energy and mental clarity

- Learn the art of surrender without losing yourself

In honor of World Mental Health Day, I’m opening up about something I’ve personally battled with- the achievement addiction. For years, I believed my worth was tied to my work. The more I accomplished, the more valuable I felt. But what I didn’t realize was that I was chasing peace in all the wrong places.

In this episode, I share what it really means to heal from overachievement and break free from the pressure to constantly produce.

Together, we’ll unpack how...

- Trauma can disguise itself as ambition

- Our nervous system pays the price for our grind culture

- To redefine success in a way that honors your peace, not just your productivity.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting, struggled to slow down, or found yourself wondering who you are without your titles and tasks, this conversation is for you.

Take a deep breath, sis.

You don’t have to prove your worth.

You already are enough.

In this soul-stirring episode, we break down three powerful keys to help you nurture, soothe, and regulate your nervous system, allowing you to experience more peace, presence, and safety in your daily life.

Coach Carla explores how stillness restores safety in the body, why consistency in care is essential for lasting healing, and how genuine connection and community can calm emotional overwhelm.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to step out of survival mode and reconnect with their authentic self.

Tune in and take a deep breath; this is your invitation to return home to yourself.

Life has a way of pulling us in every direction, leaving us feeling scattered, drained, or disconnected from ourselves.

I know that feeling all too well, which is why I created The C.E.N.T.E.R. Method, a simple acronym you can return to anytime you need grounding and clarity.

In this episode, I’m sharing why I use acronyms in my teachings and coaching work, and how they serve as anchors to keep you steady when life gets overwhelming.

I’ll walk you through each step of CENTER:

Calm

Evaluate

Nurture

Truth

Engage

Release

While blending psychology, real-life examples, and spiritual insight to show you how to apply it in your daily life.

If you’ve been searching for a practical way to come back to yourself and find peace no matter what’s happening around you, this conversation will give you the framework you need to find your center again.

There are moments when emotions hit hard: frustration, sadness, anger, or overwhelm, and instead of clarity, we end up reacting in ways that don’t serve us. I’ve been there, and I know you have too.

That’s why in this episode, I’m introducing you to a simple but powerful tool I created called The R.E.S.E.T. Method for Emotional Clarity.

RESET is an acronym that will help you slow down, tune in, and respond with intention instead of impulse. I’ll walk you through each step:

Recognize

Embrace

Sit

Evaluate

Transform

All while blending psychology, real-life examples, and spiritual truth so you can apply it immediately in your own life.

If you’ve ever felt controlled by your emotions or struggled to process them healthily, this conversation will give you a new framework to find clarity, protect your peace, and take back your power.
