  • I wanted to like her

    I really wanted to like Carla but after she decided to get political into an issue she has no business being in I morally can’t support her anymore.

  • It’s like she is in my head

    I am here from TikTok and have never been happier that a creator is expanding their audience. Carly is funny and it seems like all the things she speaks on are things I have struggled with or thoughts I have had. It’s like getting to listen to advice and words of encouragement from a best friend Keep up the amazing work Carly!!

  • Love her!!

    SnarlyCarly is the best. I’ve been listening to her for a while now on here and Facebook. What I enjoy most is that she gives you the reality check you need, especially when dealing with men. When I’ve gone through tough break ups and situationships 🤢 she reminded me of my worth and helped me keep moving.

    Highly recommend.

  • Are you in my head?

    I feel so seen and understood when I listen to this podcast. I struggle with OCD and I’ve never heard someone explain things the way Carla does in a way that is so hauntingly accurate to my experience. Please never stop making this podcast.

  • Podcast changed my life

    This podcast feels like Carla is inside my head, the strategies she shares have been extremely helpful in my day to day and feels like a mix between my best friend and therapist. Hey, maybe that’s a side quest for you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Attachment Style Isn’t a Life Sentence with Dr. Amir Levine
Q: Why is it that those more emotionally inconsistent relationships feel like crack cocaine, and is that intensity amplified by the anxious and avoidant dynamic?
The dynamic feeds off each other because one person craves closeness while the other feels overwhelmed by it, leading to cycles of pursuit and withdrawal that create heightened drama; with awareness and tools like CARP and secure priming, couples can reduce this pull-and-push and move toward more secure interactions.
Is There “The One” or Are We All Settling?
Q: Are we even meant to be in lifelong romantic relationships?
It's hard to say, as many relationships don't last, and people often miss novelty.
Is There “The One” or Are We All Settling?
Q: Is there the one?
No, I think it's a fairy tale and the belief in it is largely shaped by societal expectations and personal experiences.
The Clock Is Ticking
Q: What is the scariest thing about getting older?
The fear of not having enough time to accomplish everything you want.
Not Everyone Has to Like You (Unfortunately)
Q: Why did you give up caring what people think?
I realized that in the end, it really does not matter what people think of you; it only matters what you think of yourself and what you do for others.
