soften, cradle, push
A transformational private mentorship program with Carla Russo.
Let’s start at the beginning, shall we?
You look back at everything you accomplished three months from now. What started out as an idea sprouted from your heart is now a tangible plan that is already in action. You’re clear on your purpose, you turned your passion into strategy and you took consistent action to get what you want.
The best part? You know at your core you are worthy and capable of receiving the reward. You trust yourself + you’ve alchemized all those limiting beliefs into an empowering narrative.
In my 1:1 mentorship, I guide you through intense inner-work to break you free from subconscious limiting beliefs, create a strategy + roadmap to turn your passions into a life you love and hold your hand throughout it all.
I’m only taking 2 clients for the rest of 2020 for a 3-month cycle of transformation.
Are you willing to take an honest look at your heart, your shame + your desires? Are you willing to dream as big as your soul wants to expand? Are you willing to be daring with your life + take action that will move your needle forward?
A private mentorship for undeniable expansion.
Is this you right now?
🍃 You feel lost in yourself + carried away by a whirlwind of ideas, questions + possibilities swirling through your mind.
🐓 You aren’t making progress towards living a life you really love.
🪐 You don’t want to live a life where you have to fit other people’s expectations. You want it the other way around: Life should be built around your true desires.
🌩 You’re all energetic potential — all talk + excitement — but no organized action or strategy.
🐘 You know you have hard-earned wisdom you want to use in your professional life, but you haven’t brought it out of you yet.
🦋 You just want someone to show you how to make what you want happen in real life. You want a roadmap to your divine success.
“If you want a new outcome, you will have to break the habit of being yourself, and reinvent a new self.”
— Dr. Joe Dispenza, author of “You are the Placebo,” “Becoming Supernatural” and “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself.”
Take me as your private mentor + take a wild leap towards your purpose + passion.
My mentorships are for intuitive, deep-feeling, creative womxn who are ready to reimagine what their life could be like and do what it takes to make that happen now — with three months of coaching, guidance, strategy + accountability.
There are three elements I focus on: Emotional (heart), Mindset (vision) and Strategy (action).
I soften you into your heart,
create + cradle your vision
and
push you over the edge so you do the damn thing already.
What Abbey shared on her IG stories during her 1:1 program…
“God bless your faith in me and in the work you do.”
“Ever since I first reached out to her, she has helped me with methods of being able to move beyond my limitations and really helped me to remember my fire and my power I kinda forgot I had and show strong I am.
She never gave up on me and universe really helped pull shit together to let me work with her so god bless your faith in me lass and in the work you do.
Ever since I started practicing some methods she’s given me… I’M SMASHING MY GOALS AND RECEIVING EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN ASKING FROM THE UNIVERSE.
She is flippin’ worth the investment.”
— Abbey W., hairstylist apprentice who finished her 1:1 program in Sept. 2020

“You're so good at helping me unscramble and simplify the process to work towards my goals.”
“Carla, you have this incredible gift of holding a container for me to work through my shadows while bringing light to those areas. I really like how you help me reframe the language I use with myself and the clarity you provide around my blockers.
You're so good at helping me unscramble and simplify the process to work towards my goals, showing me how they're so tangible.
I also LOVE the support you provide between sessions. Being able to access you through Voxer for in the moment support and using you as a sounding board has been soooooo helpful in my process to strengthen my intuition! So so so appreciative of this program!”

Meet the girl who could change your life.
I’m Carla.
I approach life the way that I was trained as a reporter — to question everything, and to ask the right questions to cut through the bullshit.
At my core, I’m a writer + journalist who has interviewed an insane variety of people over the course of 10 years — celebrities, scientists, experts, former naked hippies, local politicians.
🔥 I was trained to see through what people are saying + find out what they really, truly mean.
I spent tens of thousands of dollars on a journalism degree because I like telling stories and I like uncovering the truth.
When I give Human Design readings, I am giving you an in-depth interview + raw look at your life so you can understand your own truths on the deepest possible levels.
❌ I won’t let you bullshit yourself.
I won’t go easy on you.
But I will be gentle, loving and compassionate.
It’ll be worth it. I promise.
WHAT I WORK WITH…
soften
My magic becomes your magic, too.
My realm of mastery is in shadow work, Human Design and the art of storytelling. I blend all of that together to call out the highest version of yourself.
At the root of this work, it’s all about softening back into your heart + your truest self.
No more living by other people’s expectations. No more worrying about what they think. No more playing by someone else’s rules.
Soften into your heart and live from there.
why subconscious storytelling?
I’ve been a journalist + editor for almost a decade. I have mastered the art of writing + digging for deeper truths.
During our time together, I analyze your life stories as they are now + help you alchemize it into powerful narratives.
why human design?
Human Design is a practical framework, based on energetic + spiritual principles, that shows you how to access your intuition, how to master your emotions + how to make soul-led decisions.
why shadow work?
Shadow work is a deeply personal practice in which you face your shame, emotional triggers + negative aspects of your persona — and you integrate them back into your awareness with grace + love.
I walk you through the shadow work — an intense process but done with care + love — then I teach you how to do it on your own.
A MESSAGE FROM A CLIENT:
“My biggest takeaway right now is validation — feeling seen by my human design.”
cradle
You have a goal + you are so riled up about it. You start working towards it. You do your research. You talk to who you need to talk to about it.
You tell your friends. Your partner. They get excited for you. And you build your vision from that fire in your heart until…
one day…
that fire disappears — and you stop.
Maybe you had a bad week, or a really tough weekend.
You weren’t seeing results fast enough.
You started to think:
I can’t really do this.
It’s too much.
If I’m not excited anymore, I should probably stop, right?
It’s not for me.
If I really wanted this, I would try harder.
I’m not as motivated as other people.
I’m not as smart. They know more about it than I do.
Then you started to think:
I’ll wait till it feels right. I’ll wait till I have more clarity. I’ll wait until the universe tells me to go. I need to do more work on myself first. I have more healing to do. Right now is not the time.
Hey, love, stop. That’s enough mindless ranting for today. Shhhhh.
Did you know you can have it all?
Now is the right time, all you have to do is decide it.
When your mind wanders, you go with it. Stop that.
It’s not good for your heart.
If I brought you into my mentorship program, I hold your vision for you even when — and especially when — you stop believing in yourself.
Then we dive into the subconscious work so you absorb the beliefs you need to in order to thrive.
A MESSAGE FROM A CLIENT:
“I legit felt so much reassurance, guidance and clarity about who I am.”
push
With me, you cannot and will not stay stagnant.
If you are worried you are too lazy to do the work, nah…
Working with me is like having a notification on your phone that you can snooze, but I will be back. Trust.
If it’s a mindset block, we push through it and realign.
If it’s an emotional block, we feel through it and heal.
If you’re facing a barrier — think: you get laid off from work, you go through a breakup, you have to move tomorrow + don’t have time for the work — we pause, re-strategize + get you back on track.
That’s why this mentorship is only for womxn who have already done some level of inner-work and are devoted to blending their spiritual and personal growth with their physical goals.
This is a container for intuitive strategy, heart-centered action + wise accountability.
The only way to fail is to stop trying.
This belief has led me to my own success. I’m relentless. But I’m also loving, compassionate + kind.
I will cradle your vision for you so that you never give up on it. At least during our time together.
What happens if we hit a roadblock?
We realign + edit the strategy but the vision?
Oh, love, the vision stays the same.
The vision stays the same because your highest self stays the same. That woman is already within you, and she is what makes whatever you desire happen.
I hold you to the vision of that woman.
You can only be as successful as the size your dreams. And that woman within you who gets you the things you desire? She dreams big AF.
I cradle the vision and that woman and the action and the strategy.
When you stumble, I hold space for your emotions and
push.
I’m Carla, your future mentor.
My field of spiritual and transformational study is in Human Design, shadow work, feminine + masculine energy, life as emotional art, pleasure + polarization + storytelling.
Life is meant to be lived. Can we make this experience feel deeper? Can we push our edges further? Can you make art of this experience?
Are you ready to dive deeper into yourself, and then seep even deeper into your psyche, and then finally…
finally!
move past it so you can grow past your limitations for good?
IN MY PERSONAL LIFE,
I’ve been tenaciously committed to my own growth + understanding my trauma so I can speak my absolute truth with confidence.
In 2012
I ditched working at a major TV network to live the life of my dreams in Hawaii
In 2016
I finally told a therapist for the first time ever, “I have a history of being sexually abused and I want to commit to healing it” and I did an EMDR program to address PTSD
In 2017
I discovered how to meditate and access the subconscious mind — and the whole damn game changed
In 2018
I discovered Human Design — and the whole damn game changed again
In 2019
I started sharing my transformational journey publicly, hosting self-worth and gratitude challenges to change people’s perspectives and writing about my evolution every step of the way
In June 2020
I launched The Unshakeable You, a transformational Human Design program.
In October 2020
I decided that you (yes, you reading this right now) deserve to have that same kind of spiritual, practical, transformational support too — but on a more in-depth, customized, high-touch level.
ONLY TWO SPOTS AVAILABLE FOR 1:1 MENTORSHIP.TESTIMONIALS:
“I wasn’t aware of how quickly things would start to shift.”
Yesterday I did an intensive Human Design call with @happylittlecarla and it put a lot of things into perspective for me. Even though it was a relatively short call, I wasn’t aware of how quickly things would start to shift..
I told Carla how much I wanted to step into trusting my intuition. Because lately I had been feeling numb and disconnected from myself.
Then she broke it down for me: instead of getting caught up in distractions like scrolling IG or binging Netflix when I’m going through something, I just have to “ride the wave.”
… So that’s exactly what I did.
I stopped doing and just got still.
And boy were there some stories I was telling myself.
Stories about my worth and trust in expressing myself popped up a lot…
Although this process is uncomfortable and makes me feel raw I like to think of it as watching a tree grow from a seed in a garden.
So here’s to the people who are willing to ride out the storm and frost so that they can experience their first of many blooms.

“She graciously helps you uncover the stories that are tied with it.”
“Carla saw me so clearly through her reading! Her knowledge of Human Design is amazing. She looks how the aspects of your chart are working together, and graciously helps you uncover the stories that are tied with it. I highly recommend a reading with Carla! She is an angel on earth.”
— Katrina Rae Swanson, Hormonal Health Coach (@katrinaraeswanson)
“I can easily make decisions with more confidence and less resistance”
“Working with Carla was amazing!! Carla is so knowledgeable while also making you feel comfortable. She helped me to see that some of my qualities that I considered weaknesses or flaws can actually be used as my strengths.
She presented everything very clearly and takes time to listen and answer any and all questions as we went through the process. She explained to me how I can more easily make decisions with more confidence and with less resistance from myself and others in order to reach my fullest potential while also being my truest self.”
Jackie Reiser, Physical Therapist (@manakittee)
“
I can communicate better and use it as a base to reach my full potential and goals.
”
“Carla, thank you so so so much for taking the time to read my human design chart. I went into it nervous, not knowing what to expect and skeptical.
Everything you read about my chart that I thought were flaws about myself, you explained that they aren’t flaws and helped me to understand it better. You explained things where I can communicate better and use it as a base to be able to reach my full potential and goals.
You made me feel very comfortable and asked me questions that helped you explain my chart in a way where it is geared more towards me.”
— Theresa Dang, Nurse
Oh, hello!
If you made it this far, I want you to know that I only want to work with people who are absolutely committed to their growth.
We don’t half-ass things over here.
If you’re tired of just envisioning your highest self, and you want to be your highest as soon as possible — AND you’re excited to do the work…

Sending all my love,
Carla
