Send Carla a message!In this episode, I'm sharing some of what God has been teaching me about letting go. Letting go of old ways of working. Letting go of worry. Letting go of control. Letting go of the belief that I need to have everything figured out before I take the next step.I've been discovering that life feels different when we loosen our grip.Not because our problems disappear, but because we shift our mind and heart posture.If you've been feeling heavy, pulled in too many directions or tired from holding it all together - this is your invitation to pause and see things from a new perspective.While we can't always control our circumstances, we do have a choice as to how we shop up to them. Grab a notebook, and join me for this conversation.Learn more about Carla:Website: https:/www.carlareeves.com/Get The Differently Journal:https://carlareeves.com/journalConnect on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/differentlyco/Connect on LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reevescarla/Connect on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@differentlythepodcastGo to https://carlareeves.com/free-class to get The Class schedule, sign up, and/or pass it on to a friend.  Come hang out and learn with us for FREE!Book a Complimentary Strategy Call with Carla:  https://bookme.name/carlareeves/strategycallIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to share it with a friend. A free way to support our show is by leaving a five-star rating and review on your favorite podcast player.

Send Carla a message!I sat down with my friend Michelle Lindsay to talk about color, but this conversation went somewhere deeper.What started as getting dressed and adding color back into your life turned into a conversation about alignment, identity, and what happens when you stop doing everything in your own strength.If you’ve been moving fast, feeling a little off, or sensing there might be a different way to live, this one might meet you right where you are.We talk about confidence, faith, and the simple shifts that can change how you feel in your life, starting with something as everyday as your closet.Enjoy!Learn more about Carla:Website: https:/www.carlareeves.com/Get The Differently Journal:https://carlareeves.com/journalConnect on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/differentlyco/Connect on LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reevescarla/Connect on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@differentlythepodcastGo to https://carlareeves.com/free-class to get The Class schedule, sign up, and/or pass it on to a friend.  Come hang out and learn with us for FREE!Book a Complimentary Strategy Call with Carla:  https://bookme.name/carlareeves/strategycallIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to share it with a friend. A free way to support our show is by leaving a five-star rating and review on your favorite podcast player.
