Why Modern Motherhood Feels So Overwhelming (And How to Slow Down) | Leah Renee
Building a Life That Doesn't Cost You Yourself | A Conversation with Dr. Carla Caturia
What if success isn't measured by everything you've accomplished...
...but by whether you've built a life that allows you to truly be yourself?
In this special episode of Womenfolk Revival, we welcome Dr. Carla Caturia, educator, speaker, coach, and founder of House of RISE, for a heartfelt conversation about identity, emotional resilience, parenting, and the hidden cost of constantly striving for more.
After spending more than twenty years in education, Dr. Carla began noticing a troubling pattern. Many of the students who appeared successful on the outside were quietly carrying anxiety, perfectionism, pressure, and self-doubt. That realization led her to step away from the traditional education system and dedicate her work to helping children, teens, and families build confidence, emotional resilience, and a deep sense of self-worth.
Together we explore:
🌿 Why achievement should never define your worth
🌿 Raising resilient children in a performance-driven world
🌿 Helping kids develop emotional intelligence and confidence
🌿 Public school, homeschooling, and creating environments where children can truly thrive
🌿 Letting go of old identities and embracing new seasons of life
🌿 Why slowing down may be one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and our families
🌿 Faith, surrender, and learning that you don't have to prove your worth to anyone
Whether you're a parent, educator, caregiver, or simply someone learning to rediscover who you are beneath life's expectations, this conversation offers encouragement to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember what truly matters.
Because the greatest success isn't building a life that impresses everyone else...
It's building a life that doesn't cost you yourself.
