Becoming Your Favourite Self: Storytelling, Truth, and the Messy Middle with Carly Ottaway

What does it really mean to come home to yourself?In this episode, I sit down with Carly Ottaway—author of Coming Home, founder of Web of Words, and creator of The Mirror Effect—to explore what it takes to rebuild a life and business from the inside out.Carly’s story begins in the ashes of a devastating house fire, but what emerged was not just survival—it was becoming. Through her book, her leadership, and her voice, Carly shows us how to meet our favourite self—the version of us who feels most alive right now.Together, we dive into:✨ How breakdowns can become breakthroughs when we surrender to the becoming.✨ Why your “favourite self” is different from chasing a perfect “future self.”✨ The Mirror Effect—and how life reflects back the energy we carry.✨ The messy middle of motherhood, entrepreneurship, and authenticity.✨ What it looks like to lead, love, and live from a place of truth.This is more than a conversation about writing a book or running a business. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been, and giving yourself permission to rise.🔗 Connect with CarlyWebsite: webofwords.caInstagram: @webofwords_ & @itscarlyottawayBook: Coming Home — available wherever books are sold
