We have a beautiful, inspiring episode this week my fellow beasts! My friend Karly Ashworth is our next guest. She is also our first ever reality tv star that we’ve had on the podcast.

After her time on the UK’s Big Brother, Karly decided to leave the world of fame and climb the ladder of the corporate world. After finding success there, feeling burned out, and then the pandemic, Karly decided to follow a new career path when hypnotherapy accidently fell into her lap. So now, she excelling as a hypnotherapist and mindset coach while also being the host of Soul Family Podcast.

Today we cover

· Being born in Scotland and how her grandfather taught her how to lean into love.

· Losing her job and then seeing an audition for Big Brother in her hometown.

· How from a young age, she always felt there was something bigger to go towards to in life and how she thought she’d be famous one day.

· What fame meant to her and what it could look like for her life.

· The price of finding this new fame and it not being what she was expecting.
