When You Feel the Call to Do More | How to Truly Listen w/ 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.
✨ Learn how to:
🔹 Recognize the signs of a higher calling
🔹 Overcome fear and take bold steps forward
🔹 Align your passion with purpose
🔹 Cultivate a life led by intuition and authenticity

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.

👉 Don’t ignore the signs. Tune in and take that first step.

🎧 A must-watch for artists, dreamers, and anyone standing at the edge of something greater.

💬 “Your soul already knows the way — you just have to listen.” — Layla Kardan
