As I have learned, tried, succeeded in business I felt on top of the world. I truly “thought” this is so easy. THEN life hit me smack in the face, heart, and body and I allowed myself to fail. In that failure, I continued to “try” to work but felt like a fraud.
Here’s what I discovered.
1 – I am a human being – I am an over-achiever, a recovering perfectionist, and a recovering people pleaser.
2 – We are living in unprecedented times – Nothing is the same today as it was two years ago, pre-pandemic. Stop hoping and waiting for life to get back to “normal” to start living today.
3 – Collectively our stress and cortisol levels are so high that it’s like the ooze in the middle of the swamp, it’s all-consuming – Remember to use the health assessment to tweak your customized supplements to address the current life situations. Load and use essential oil diffusers to keep my mind, body, and soul in a positive, loving state.
4 – Going Live on FB, confessing my soul and errors and backsliding gave me the freedom to embrace the truth, move forward with a guilt-free conscious, and continue to serve others – Eliminate the elephant in the room by sharing true feelings to your friends, those who relate to you on social, this sets everyone free.

"Very well put. I've been with a health and nutrition company for over 26 years and I understand exactly what you are going through. I shiver to think what my health might be today at age 68 had I not stuck to my guns as far as practicing what I preach. Yes, I fall off the wagon regularly but my daily routine life reflects taking care of my health. That way I can keep up (somewhat) with my 7 grandchildren. You keep it up, Carla". 
"For most people the thought of venturing out there in pursuit of your dreams, in a place outside of your comfort zones is just what stops them. But I could sense your excitement not resentment in going against the competition. In planting your stake and truly making a difference in the clients experience. That's ultimately what matters, the rest just falls so easily into place. Thanks for that reminder"! 
Carla, I’ve got to say that I LOVE your focus on the joys and challenges facing women over 50. I’m definitely in that camp! I’ve been inspired by your candor, practical ideas, and refreshing determination to joyfully tackle life. The hours we’ve spent on the phone, in person, and through social media have enriched my life immeasurably. YOU are one Fiery Grandma, and I love your style! 
I have known Carla Gardiner for 6+ years. We met at a business training for bring business online. She is a business women at heart and willing to do the hard things to make the results show up. I have watched her run a business, work a job and take care of her family. She is a go getter when it comes to putting in the work to build her business to the level of being able to enjoy her grand kids.
She is the example that age is not a limit it is a tool for sharing knowledge to those she empowers to use their own skills and talents. Excuses are fuel to push her to learn and apply. I have seen her scared to death about implementing new technology and rock it out despite the learning curve.
I love watching you grow into your greatness Carla! Don’t slow down. 
"Carla, you are a model for me to follow. I love your site. And, I like what you have to say - very kind, very gracious. I have to say though that nothing in my life has ever been crystal clear". 
"I've known Carla for 5+ years and can tell you that she has lived every bit of this and more. We shared tears and laughs and hard work....you will enjoy getting to know Carla."
