    Ep. 61- Healing Your Relationship with Anger

    JOIN THE 21-DAY BREATHWORK CHALLENGE STARTING ON MONDAY! Whether you never express the emotion of anger or you are angry all the time, this is a powerful emotion that is sending you a signal as to what your needs are. This is the final episode of this season. Carla is chatting about the very misunderstood power of anger and explains how breathwork helps us process it instead of suppressing it. She uses real examples from clients to look at the different ways people respond to anger and why those responses matter for our health and our relationships. You will learn how childhood experiences and gender norms shape the way we express or repress anger, and why acknowledging anger is essential for setting boundaries, identifying needs, and preventing long-term emotional and physical consequences. This is the final episode of this season, so please reach out and share your thoughts with Carla on whether you would like another season and the topics to discuss.

    Ep. 60-Why We Struggle to Feel Our Emotions and How Breathwork Can Help

    JOIN THE OCEAN HEALING COMMUNITY AT FOUNDER PRICING Carla is back with part 2, speaking about all things emotions. If you’ve ever wondered why sitting with emotions like sadness, anger, or grief feels so uncomfortable, Carla is going to explain it all in today’s episode and share how slowing down and breathwork can transform the way we heal. Carla shares what she’s learning through her Compassionate Inquiry training with Gabor Maté, alongside her own work in somatics and therapy. She explains why so many of us skip past feelings, rush to soothe, or get stuck in our heads rather than staying with what’s present. She also talks about implicit memory and highlights the role of the “super ego” in holding us back from healing. If this episode resonates with you and you’re ready to stop being so in your head and start connecting inwards, Carla’s new community is launching on the 8th of September with a 21-Day Breathwork Challenge! This is a chance to reconnect with your body, release emotional energy, and find more clarity and calm in daily life. Sign up here for founders’ pricing before it increases!

    Ep. 54- How to Read Body Language on a Date and Tell if They’re Into You

    You can tell how someone is feeling just based on their body language, no words needed. Carla is going into the power of body language in this week’s episode and what your posture, gaze, and tone are revealing about what’s going on inside (and how to read these signs in others), particularly when it comes to dating! Your body is SO powerful. It will sense things before your mind does, so it’s time to learn to surrender and trust it. If you want to be more open when it comes to dating or see how your date feels about you, this episode will give you some of the signs to let you know whether they’re into you or not!
