    #10: VIBEMKR Live — Finding Your Why (And What To Do When You Lose It)

    #10: Episode 10 is a big one for us — we recorded our very first live episode of VDEOMKR surrounded by our closest community inside The Good Vibe Studios. As our 10th episode, and to celebrate the launch of VDEOMKR with our community, we dove into a powerful conversation about the importance of knowing your “why.” Why you start.  Why you keep going.  And what to do when life, business, or burnout makes you lose sight of it. Carly shares how her original “why” was rooted in determination and survival as a young single mom trying to build a career in filmmaking. Over time, that purpose evolved into something bigger: creating space, opportunity, and support for other creatives — especially women — in the industry. But like every entrepreneurial journey, there have been moments when that purpose felt distant. Moments of burnout, financial stress, uncertainty, and asking the question so many founders face: Is this still worth it? This live conversation dives into the lessons learned in those seasons — and the tools that help you reconnect with your purpose when you feel disconnected from it. Because the truth is: your “why” isn’t static. It evolves as you grow. What matters most is learning how to find your way back to it. This episode is apart of the VIBEMKR series: behind-the-scenes conversations about running a growing video production company, building team, creating systems, and learning as you go.
