The stories she shares are inspiring and feel actionable. Listen if you need a push, want to learn something new, or be entertained by Carla’s commentary.
I’ve been a big fan of Carla since her Free Fashion Internship days and have been tuning in on her insta stories during the pandemic. I adore her as a person and a professional, adapting her career advice towards my trajectory. I started my new life in Austin, thanks to Carla’s advice so I was beyond elated to tune on this podcast series! Her content is endearingly fresh, relatable, poignantly honest, and entertaining! Never felt so seen and heard!!!!
I have listened to quite a few episodes of Well That Was Unexpected and they are so helpful for someone finding a job, changing careers, and what to do when you are just straight up in a rut. I recently listen to “Hate your job? Here’s how to figure out what to do next” which helped me navigate my thoughts about what I like about my job, don’t like, and what I want in a future role. “You're more than your job: Career Identify & Self-Worth” is another great episode. Subconsciously, I have always ... more
Carla’s valuable insights, guidance, inspiration, and genuine passion make this a must-listen! The podcast is a treasure trove of knowledge and empowering stories!
The best. Feeds my entrepreneurial spirit!
As a current job seeker, Carlas words resonate with me! She speaks on things I never thought about and has great suggestions on making a splash in the job pool. I love that she mixes in solo episodes and has guest speakers. I will definitely continue to listen to this podcast even once I have found a new job!
Carla provides an informative insight into an industry that many have no knowledge of. Her method of storytelling and interviewing gives way for laughs as well as many nods to “I did not know that!” The time flies by and before you know it your ready for the next episode!
Carla is such an knowledgeable and empathetic host - this podcast stands above the rest in the career advice space. If you’re looking to make a change in any realm of your life, this is a must listen. Actionable advice that will empower you to better yourself!
I’ve followed Carla for many years and have always appreciated and followed her career advice. This podcast is a Pandora’s box full of great tips and advice on life, your career, and finding the balance between the two. It’s helped me feel more motivated and optimistic about my future and my life in general!
I just recently started listening to Carla’s podcast and it is my new favorite! If you need career advice this is the podcast to listen to. She understands the struggles of navigating the fashion industry and has real and honest advice. Love!!!
This podcast helped me with my career in fashion so much ! Before Carla I was lost and now I have a straight career path and a map to get there. I highly recommend this to anyone in need of career advice. Even though it is based in fashion it is applicable to everyone and I can not stress this enough how helpful it is to have someone in your ear helping you navigate the business world; especially if you went to art school ;)
Her episodes are exactly what you need, when you need it!! Speaks the truth, knows it all & tells it like it is!! She’s experienced in the industry and her advice is worthy!
This weeks episode was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Not only do I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders from the negativity I was feeling about where I’m at, but now I’ve got an action plan and the encouragement to go do something about it. Thank you for the words of wisdom, can’t wait for more episodes. Give this one a listen!!
Carla is not only personable, but she is full of relatable experience. The topics she covers hit home for those of us who have had to pivot from our original career plan into a new dream. Her guests hit the spot and so do her topics. She truly helps those of us who have had unexpected career changes AND help us feel seen. Thank you Carla!
