The Balance Theory When You Feel the Call to Do More, Here's How to Listen with Layla Kardan
Have you ever felt a quiet (or not-so-quiet) nudge that you’re meant for something more ... but don’t know what to do about it?
In this empowering episode, I sit down with award-winning artist, entrepreneur, and mum Layla Kardan, who shares her powerful story of breaking cultural expectations, walking away from the “safe” path, and choosing a life aligned with her true calling.
We talk about:
✨ How to recognize and trust the call for more
✨ What it really takes to pivot, even when you’re scared
✨ The truth about manifesting vs. doing the work
✨ Redefining success, motherhood, and building a life that fits you
This episode is for anyone feeling unfulfilled, stuck, or afraid to make a change — but knows deep down that more is meant for them.
