About this episode
Today Kristina sits down with one of her favourite people and the world’s newest best-selling author (we're calling it now!) Carly Ottaway!
Carly is the Founder of Web of Words, a marketing agency recently celebrating 10 years in business, and a woman who is redefining success on her own terms. In this powerful conversation, Carly shares her journey of writing her first book which came out today, Coming Home: The Path to Your Favourite Self and Permission to Do It Your Way.
This is a project that’s been three years in the making and is sure to change the way you think about yourself and your story. What started as a soulful calling turned into a transformational experience of coming back to her most authentic self, through motherhood, business, and healing from life’s challenges.
In this episode Kristina and Carly are diving deep into:
- How Carly went from hiding behind her clients’ stories to boldly telling her own.
- Why you don’t need to know “the how” to get started on a big dream.
- The identity shift that comes with showing up fully in your purpose.
- How your story can be your most powerful brand tool.
- What it really takes to build a sustainable business aligned with your life.
- How to nurture your network and allow yourself to receive support.
- Why it’s never too late to pivot, expand, or come home to who you truly are.
This conversation is for anyone who’s been sitting on a dream, who’s afraid to start, or who needs the nudge to trust their story and do it their own way!
