Differently - Get out of your head & write your life forward.

Differently - Get out of your head & write your life forward.

Differently is for when you need to get out of your head and back into your life. Created and hosted by Carla Reeves, creator of The Differently Journal and The Conversation Club, her work is built on over 20 years of helping people use writing to navigate real life. Not as a habit to keep up with, but as a way to calm your mind, get clear, and move forward. You are always writing your life, whether it’s in your mind or on paper. It's time to take the pen back. Turn overthinking and self doubt into clarity, confidence, creativity and momentum. Stop surviving your life. Start creating it.

If you are inspired by stories of creativity, courage, or starting over, this conversation ...

I sat down with my friend Michelle Lindsay to talk about color, but this conversation went somewhere deeper.

What started as getting dressed and adding color back into your life turned into a conversation about alignment, identity, and what happens when you stop doing everything in your own strength.

If you’ve been moving fast, feeling a little off, or sensing there might be a different way to live, this one migh...

I’m sitting down with a longtime friend, Tim McCormick, someone who has been part of our life for years, sharing his journey of healing and transformation.

From 320 lbs to 160.
From addiction and relapse… to sobriety he now protects at all costs.
From surviving… to living. 

This is about waking up, asking for help, and doing the hard work to change your life, one decision at a time.

The world can feel loud, fast, and out of control, and that’s exactly when we often tighten our grip and start trying to manage everything: other people’s choices, scary headlines, uncertain timing, and outcomes we can’t possibly guarantee. I’m inviting you to take a different path, one that doesn’t depend on perfect circumstances to feel steady. The turning point is a single question: what do I actually have s...

When the world around us feels unsettling, it’s easy to slip into defense mode, bracing and preparing for what might go wrong. Preparation is good. But what if it could be life giving and leave you feeling more equipped?

What would be possible if you played offense instead of defense?

Today’s episode is an invitation to think about what’s happening around you in a new and different way.

What does it mean to be 'successful'?

There is no shortage of answers, but deciding how you will define and measure success is one of the most important exercises you can ever do.

Why? Because unless you take the time to decide what it truly means for you to live a successful life you can wind up spending your entire life striving to achieve someone else's idea of a success, and never fin...

I sat down to record an episode about business systems.

And as I started organizing my thoughts, I realized the systems that are actually holding my life together right now aren’t the ones we usually talk about.

They’re quieter.
Running underneath the surface.

This episode is a look inside these daily rhythms, movement, and practices that help me stay grounded in this season of life.

When the dream is fresh, energy is easy. The real test comes later, when the page is blank, results are slow, and no one else can see what you’re building. 

In this conversation, we dive into the quiet discipline of holding a vision through doubt, resistance, and long seasons of building. 

If you crave a marriage that gets better over time, a business that pairs deep impact with freedom, or simply a ste...
