Join us for this honest and vulnerable conversation with Carly Schaller, therapist, adventurer, small business owner, and puppy momma.

Carly shares her journey of pursuing a marketing career in New York City, inspired by her mother’s success as a powerful corporate leader, while also grappling with the impact of being raised by her father, an empathetic journalist who struggled with alcoholism. She explores how these two contrasting influences shaped her career path, personal growth, and sense of self.

We work to bust myths and misconceptions and share some therapy real talk about panic, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and OCD. We discuss medications, and normalize anxiety, particularly existential anxiety around big triggers like health, death, and belonging. Carly describes how travel, adventure, and nature can be not only transformative, but are imperative for our wellbeing.

We are also so lucky that Carly's company Loona Seeds is offering a 10% discount for Are We Happy Yet? listeners. Use discount code HAPPY10 on your next order.
