  • 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!
