So That Just Happened...

Carly Cooper

So That Just Happened is an honest exploration of what it’s like to lose your person and find yourself. I’m Carly Cooper, a mom/widow/coach/author/chronic truth seeker and my superpower is finding the funny, the hope and the silver lining in any sh*t situation. This podcast is filled with practical (and some woo-woo) tools that have helped me heal my broken heart and rewire my brain after experiencing the traumatic loss of my husband of 27 years. I’ll share mindset shifts, manifestation tips, compelling interviews, ways to open yourself up to love again and how to reinvent yourself in the most glorious, unapologetic way. Take what resonates and leave the rest! What I share on this show are my personal opinion and experiences. It’s not a diagnosis for treatment or a substitute for professional help. If you need further support or are struggling, please contact your local emergency service or call 9-1-1. Tune in every Wednesday for a new episode and please share with someone you feel it could help.

    Dare to Share Challenge- My Raw and Real Interview with Clare Garner

    I had the honour of being a guest on Clare Garner’s Dare to Share Challenge—a podcast where leaders take the stage to share their stories with depth and vulnerability. Each episode breaks down the walls of perception, diving into the human experience and showing that even admired role models are just as real and imperfect as the rest of us. Here are the key points we covered in our conversation: Redefining After Loss: We discussed what it means to redefine oneself after a life-changing personal loss and navigate raw, challenging moments. Career Shift: I shared my decision to leave a 17-year coaching career and start a new path as a voice-over artist at age 50, reflecting on the courage it took to make this change. Feeling and Healing: We explored the process of honouring my limits, embracing imperfection, and finding the strength to keep moving forward—even when it’s difficult. Embracing Imperfection: The episode highlighted the idea that growth isn’t always polished and that it’s okay to feel fear when stepping into something new. Join us for an honest conversation about facing challenges, daring to evolve on your own terms, and finding the courage to start over.
