About This Podcast

Differently is for when you need to get out of your head and back into your life.


Created and hosted by Carla Reeves, creator of The Differently Journal and The Conversation Club, her work is built on over 20 years of helping people use writing to navigate real life. Not as a habit to keep up with, but as a way to calm your mind, get clear, and move forward.


You are always writing your life, whether it’s in your mind or on paper.

It's time to take the pen back.


Turn overthinking and self doubt into clarity, confidence, creativity and momentum.


Stop surviving your life. Start creating it.
