Most women have no idea how good they're supposed to feel — and it's not for lack of trying.

We're waking up at 6am for workouts, optimizing our nutrition, crushing it at work, holding everyone else together. We're doing everything we're "supposed" to do. Following all the wellness advice. Checking every box.

And yet… so many of us feel off. Burned out. Bloated. Anxious. Exhausted but wired. Brain fog that won't lift. Hormonal symptoms we're told are "normal." Running on cortisol and guilt more than actual energy.

Something isn't adding up.

I'm Carly, a registered dietitian & holistic health coach who spent my early career watching women be fed the same cookie-cutter version of 'wellness' — advice built on male biology, packaged for female bodies. Then I hit my own rock bottom: burned out (even while working my dream job), and became completely disconnected from my body.

That's when I realized the problem wasn't effort or discipline. It was the system itself. The hustle culture mentality. The way we've been taught to live, work, and achieve simply doesn't support how women actually function.

So I went searching for what actually makes women feel good. What happens when you work with your menstrual cycle instead of against it? When you prioritize nervous system regulation over productivity? When you tune into your intuition instead of drowning it out? When you understand your hormones, your energy, and your body's wisdom — and use that as your compass?

Coffee with Carly was born from that question.

Like a strong cup of coffee, this podcast is a wake-up call. Through personal riffs, honest storytelling, and conversations 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 women's health research with real-life application, mindset work, intuition, and embodied wisdom.

We talk about cycle syncing and hormone balance. Burnout recovery and nervous system regulation. Metabolic health and gut healing. Anti-hustle achievement and female entrepreneurship. Intuition, energetics, and human design. Brain fog, cortisol, adrenal health. Life transitions, identity shifts, and coming home to yourself.

This podcast is for high-achieving women who are tired of being tired. Who are ready to challenge hustle culture, listen to their bodies, trust their intuition, work with their cycle, balance their hormones, and create lives that actually feel like theirs.

You can be anti-hustle without being anti-achievement. Let me show you how.

Stay bold. Stay balanced. 

I'm Carly, and I'm so glad you're here.
