Connect with Carla-Holistic Wellness Coach/Midlife Alchemist & Sex, Love & Relationship Coach
Takeaways
Carla’s journey is anything but linear. Starting out as a wildlife biologist working with endangered species, she spent her 20s healing from sexual trauma while simultaneously exploring yoga, tantra, homeopathy, and energy work. By her 30s, she had made a full pivot into the healing arts — and in her 40s, brought her scientific background back into her practice to create what she calls “sacred metabolism”: the integration of physical and energetic health that allows women to truly thrive, not just survive.
In this episode you’ll discover:
- Why the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause literally create a biological drive to stop people-pleasing and finally ask: what do I actually want?
- The ancient Taoist concept of the “second spring” — and how post-menopausal women hold an untapped reservoir of creative life force energy
- Why stress is the number one libido killer for women over 40, and how metabolic health is deeply connected to sexual vitality
- The powerful biochemistry of pleasure: how oxytocin acts as a direct antidote to cortisol and what “micro-doses of pleasure” can do for your hormones, blood sugar, and sex drive
- Why women in midlife are flocking to entrepreneurship, the healing arts, and creative pursuits — and the deep biological and spiritual reasons behind it
- The myth that your best years are behind you — and the reframe that can change everything
- How women’s circles and community are not just emotionally supportive but biologically necessary for women at this stage of life
Carla also shares her own deeply personal story of navigating grief, caregiving, and high stress while walking her talk — and what it truly looks like to choose vitality, pleasure, and power in real life, not just in theory.
