Most women have no idea how good they’re supposed to feel — and it’s definitely not for lack of trying.
We’re waking up at 6am, crushing workouts, chugging protein shakes, grabbing salads for lunch, pushing to succeed at work, and holding everyone else together in the process. We’re doing everything we’re “supposed” to do. Following the rules. Checking all the boxes.
And yet…
So many of us feel off.
Burned out.
Bloated and inflamed.
Anxious and overwhelmed.
Exhausted but wired.
Running on guilt more than fuel.
Something isn’t adding up.
Fueled by my early career as a dietitian — watching women be fed the same cookie-cutter version of ‘wellness’ — and my own burnout in what was supposed to be my dream job, I realized the problem wasn’t effort or discipline. It was the system itself. The way we’ve been taught to live, work, love, and lead simply doesn’t support how women actually function.
And once a scientist, always a scientist, so off I went searching for what actually makes women feel good. Not just on paper, but in real life. Mind, body, and soul.
Coffee with Carly was born from that question.
Like a strong cup of coffee, this podcast is a wake-up call — an invitation to rethink health, success, and what it means to truly thrive as a woman. It’s about questioning the rules we inherited, understanding our biology, reconnecting with our bodies, and learning to live from the inside out instead of forcing ourselves to keep up.
Because being “healthy” is so much more than food and workouts.
It’s nervous system safety.
It’s intuition and self-trust.
It’s boundaries, fulfillment, creativity, and feeling at home in your body.
It’s giving yourself permission to live in alignment — even when it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.
Through personal riffs, honest storytelling, casual conversations, and guest interviews with women who are living differently, we explore what it really looks like to build a life that feels good — not just one that looks good. I blend science-backed physiology with real-life application, mindset, and embodied wisdom to help you understand why your body feels the way it does — and what to do about it.
Coffee with Carly is a space for women who know “good enough” isn’t the final destination — and are ready to listen to their bodies, rewrite the rules, and create lives that actually feel like theirs.
Stay bold. Stay balanced.
I’m Carly, and I’m so glad you’re here.
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Marissa Danekas, owner of Wilder & Co Salon. We talk about her journey of starting something from scratch, burning out, making mistakes, and learning along the way. Marissa shares how she decided she was done working for someone else and what it actually looked like to build a business without having it all figured out.
We talk about the mistakes she’s made that led to burnout, what work–life balance has really looked like in different seasons, and how learning to trust herself has shaped the way she runs her business. We also talk about looking silly, taking risks before you feel ready, and how the simple act of being herself ended up landing her first client.
This episode is an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, self-trust, and letting go of the idea that success has to come at the expense of your health or your life. If you’ve ever thought about starting something, changing directions, or building a business in a way that actually feels sustainable, this one’s for you.
Stay bold, stay balanced, I'll see you next week.
