Carla Anderson: Turning Pain Into Fuel & Building a Business Around Who She Is

In this episode, Kaley sits down with Carla Anderson, creator and founder of People Studio, a strategic creative advisory for founders and brands. She opens up about profound loss and a divorce, and how, strangely enough, that pain became her fuel. Carla also shares what it was like to finally get to know herself after years of marriage and relationships, and why noticing the beautiful in-between moments makes life more meaningful. Together, they talk about choosing what comes with you into your next chapter and what’s ready to be left behind. If you’ve ever had to rediscover who you are after life changed everything, this one’s for you! Carla Anderson is an intuitive, empath, and a philosophical observer of life, drawn to the human experience and the things beneath the surface. A mother, writer, artist, creator, visionary, founder, intuitive business advisor, creative director, and editorial storyteller, she sees these roles not as definitions, but as expressions of who she is, with more yet to be discovered. Living at the intersection of intuition and intellect, her philosophy is rooted in self-knowledge: understanding ourselves shapes how we experience the world, recognize our value, and create what is uniquely ours. Whether advising clients, creating editorial stories with brands, writing, or simply engaging with the world, she invites others to see beyond the obvious and discover new possibilities. For Carla, knowing oneself is a lifelong journey, not a destination! 🌷see more on IG: https://www.instagram.com/realityrenewedpod
