This week’s episode is coming to you live from Disney World chaos, corporate responsibility, CEO dreams, three birthday offers, and Kala trying to hold her iced coffee and the finish line at the same time.

Kala walks you through why so many women stay stuck chasing goals they don’t ...
This week, we’re diving into a conversation that hits home for so many women — literally. Going home for the holidays can bring joy… but it can also bring anxiety, old wounds, and the kind of questions that make you want to fake an urgent phone call and run to your car.

If you've been questioning the pressure you're under...
In this episode of The Main Character Experience™ Podcast, Kala gets real about the moment she almost talked herself out of receiving help — and what that revealed about pride, independence, and healing.
If you’ve ever been the strong friend who carries everyone else but struggles to let someone carry you, this conversation will hit home. Kala shares how saying “yes” to support didn’t make her weak — it made her whole.
