Karlosophies - Stories Behind Success

Today Karly comes to you from the studio today to share why it's so important to her to practice speaking up. Trigger warning: there is talk of #metoo and sexual assault.

Today, on Karlosophies, Karly gets super ranty. She's feeling a bit (lot) over seeing people selling entrepreneurship as this easy ride to the dream life. And invites you to find some level of acceptance and joy where you are at, rather than pin your hopes and dreams on a destination that has been sold as the solution to all your problems. After all, wherever you go, there you are.

On Karlosophies today, Karly comes from the studio straight out of a kinesiology session with a powerful question to get you coming back to, and operating from your heart and creating your art (whatever that is) in the world. Join Karly's Show Up Speak Up group to be part of an incredible community of humans doing their best to show up in this world, just as they are. And interact with her on instagram @karlosophies.

Today Karly caught up with her friend Chara Caruthers and they chatted about all things creative expression. She's come home and chats about finding your voice, honing your message, creativity and expression... what allows us to step over the invisible line and move over just enough for us to dive into the expression of who we really are. And comes back to two key elements: practice and trust.

Karly riffs on how she's had this story all her life around how she just isn't a competitive person. Sharing that she isn't motivated by competition and actively disengages when there's a winner and a loser... and yet, going on in her inner universe, there is comparison and judgment when she doesn't measure up. So what does it mean to be uncompetitive?

Today Karly reflects on what came out of her funk last week. Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in avoiding the crap feels that we end up inadvertently end up stretching them out way longer than if we just felt them. She also shares her decision to bring back her much loved podcasting school, Radcasters. And reflects on how her willingness to get uncomfortable has positively impacted her life. As always, Karly would love to see in her facebook group, Show Up Speak Up. And if you are not already, follow her on instagram @karlosophies.

Karly hits the beach feeling very lack lustre, uninspired and all up in her head. She unpacks where she's currently at and explores how to move through those days when you are feeling just a little bit shit.

Today, we take a trip back to June 2017... Karly had made some major changes after finding herself hooked up to an ECG with an expected heart attack (thankfully, it was anxiety) thanks to six months straight of chronic cash flow issues. It's a deep conversation all about surrender and acceptance. This interview originally appeared on Samantha Nolan-Smith's Change the Game podcast and is being repurposed here with Sam's permission. Karly also speaks briefly to Sam about Australian Women's Day - celebrations happening around the country on Sept 22nd. Their crowdfunding campaign closes this weekend, so if you are keen to help get this off the ground, hit up australianwomensday.com to find out more details.

Note from Karly: SURPRISE!!! Lately, I've been feeling the call to create... and music has been screaming my name. But I'm not a musician. I mean, I play like half a dozen chords on the uke. And I transition between them about as elegantly as a baby elephant. Yet, music... songwriting... kept calling. Today, I drove out to the back of Uki for singing lessons and my incredible teacher, Lisa Brown, gave me a total hippy woo songwriting lesson. She asked me to connect to my womb, and write. I couldn't quite get to the womb, but my solar plexus was yelling out 'pick me'. So I did. And this poured out. We played with it on piano... Lisa suggested I go home and see if I can figure out garageband. So I did. Had a play. Recorded the words, added some different tracks and this was the end result. Might add some singing at a later stage. We'll see. It is what it is. I loved every second of creating this. I hope it impacts you, as much as it's creation has me. Enjoy. This... is only the beginning.

Today Karly hits the beach to explore what it would look like if we dumped measuring our success by external factors and came back to showing up consistently because it feels good... not because we are attached to a certain outcome.

Karly dives into a topic she's been exploring lately... the idea of the artist versus the entrepreneur. In this episode Karly breaks down what she sees as the key differences between business as the online entrepreneur, versus the artist approach.

Karly gets intimate and vulnerable on the beach today, sharing some big realisations which have made her questions some of the stories she's been telling herself about who she really is. This questioning is freeing, but also a little confronting. If she's not who she thinks she was, what is real and what is not?

Karly explores how the process of creating Find Your Freq, writing and committing to share her first book 'Memoir of a Mediocre Life' as an audio only experience, has really opened up something within her around what to do when you are swimming in self doubt. When self kick sets in, what if instead of retreating or falling into chronic procrastination, we doubled down. Went head first into our self doubt and created in spite of it.

After 2 years of talking about it, Karly has finally checked her ego and decided to self publish 'Memoir of a Mediocre Life' as an audio only book. Makes sense, right? In today's episode, Karly shares one short chapter from the upcoming book - to be released later this year.

Karly has just returned from Hayhouse Writers Workshop in Melbourne with her new rainbow vest (check out her instagram @karlosophies if you have no idea what the big deal is)... and she's learned some surprising lessons purely through wearing this very bright, bold and out there item of clothing. If you haven't had enough Karly, be sure to join her facebook group and follow her on instagram.

Karly's back in the interview seat this week to bring an ep that's been sitting on the hard drive for months - due to self doubt. Angela Ponsford is a facebook ads guru who has gone from being a sole trader, who felt she lacked vision, to a successful partnership and then being offered the opportunity of a lifetime... as an employee of one of the biggest and most successful facebook ads agencies around. Leading Ang to make the difficult decision to leave behind the business she spent years tending to and building. She is now is happier than ever: doing work she loves, with a fab international team, from her home here in Lennox Head. Best of both worlds. It's a great ep that serves as a reminder to remain open to opportunities. Remember, to connect with Karly and her amazing community, join her Show Up Speak Up facebook group.

On today's episode Karly dives into the feeling of inadequacy and self doubt that have reared up while creating and delivery her latest offering, Find Your Freq. And she discovers that perhaps inadequacy exists nowhere else but inside of you. Maybe no one else is looking at you thinking you are inadequate? She questions whether you need to have your shit together, or be free of self doubt, or be something other than what you are in order to have a fulfilling, creative life.

On today’s episode Karly dives into a listener question – Georgie asked in the Show up Speak up group – “I’ve been thinking about being in our feminine presence, In regards to being fully present. How do we get out of our head bubble and into our bodies so we can embody our message and share it in an authentic way?” Karly discusses how the balance between masculine and feminine is just two sides of the same coin and how embracing both sides requires you to be fully in your truth. Karly speaks about how staying in your truth requires continual practice. Your truth is who you really are – truth is not feminine or masculine it transcends gender. Your truth is not gender specific it is universal – it’s a truth that lives beyond your body. Want to join Karly for more truth telling and getting a bit freaky? Join Find Your Freq here.

How ME can I be? Today Karly explores how ME she can be. How she can revel in all her perfect imperfection and sing with joy, abandon, and FEELING! She looks at how she can create that feeling of full expression in all areas of her life. Karly challenges you, the listener, to reach out and explore the areas of your life where you think; “I can’t do that” or “I’m no good at that” and ask yourself what if that wasn’t true? Where are you pulling back? How far can you take expression? How free can you be? What would happen if you tuned into YOUR frequency? Want to get tuned in to your Freq?

In this week's episode, Karly shares her excitement as she moves one step closer to fully realising her full creative force. Karly talks about how she has doubted herself and her musical ability and how she felt overlooked, until now. After going live into her Show up Speak Up Facebook group to perform “Million Reasons - By Lady Gaga” Karly had a breakthrough moment, as she played into the group and felt the deep sense of freedom that comes from giving herself the space to be fully engaged and present with performing. “We have to give ourselves permission to give ourselves what we want” Karly also has a big announcement - Listen in to find out more.
