In the last episode of Season 7, the Besties and guest Carla Forte, Licensed Clinical Social Worker & IT Manager, are getting real about the intersections of identity, career, and the audacity to be our authentic selves.
Carla's choice to rock her natural gray hair at the office after over 2 yrs of wigs & weaves, wasn't just about style—it was a bold declaration of self. Her story is emblematic of a journey many of us understand deeply.
From her pivot from IT to social work and back again, Carla Forte's experiences unfold like a masterclass in adaptability, reminding us all that the paths we walk are rarely straight but often lead to profound destinations.
Carla's self-acceptance and the wider implications on body awareness offer a refreshing perspective on the beauty of growing older and the importance of self-care. We're not just talking about surface-level changes; we're delving into the heart of what it means to align your work with your passion, to seek fulfillment beyond the paycheck, and to leverage support systems within our communities
