Meet Karla Lewis

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Karla Lewis a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Karla, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?

I think that my resilience comes from facing challenges head on at a very early age. I overcame stuttering by working intensely with my Mother on slowing down my speech continuing to practice and not giving up.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

🌟 Who Is Coach Karla? 🌟
I’m Coach Karla — a straight-cut, no-chaser Therapist and Life Coach with a heart full of compassion and a deep belief in your power to heal, grow, and thrive. I specialize in emotional healing, personal growth, and breakthrough transformation, blending traditional therapy with creative expression like journaling, singing, and art. With over 20 plus years of experience, I meet people where they are and help them get to where they’re meant to be.

💥 What I Do
I help people heal the hurt they often don’t talk about. Through my Heal Your Hurt Heart™ Journal Kit, and my show “Couch Convo with Coach Karla”, I create safe, soul-nourishing spaces for reflection, release, and real transformation. Whether you’re processing grief, confronting trauma, navigating relationships, or reclaiming your voice, I walk alongside you with truth, tools, and a little tough love.

🎨 What Makes It Special?
What sets my work apart is the blend of clinical wisdom + creative soulwork. You’ll find me dropping insight like your favorite Auntie, asking the hard questions, and giving you space to exhale and explore. I’m not here to fix you . I’m here to help you reconnect with the healed, whole version of yourself that’s always been within.

🔥 Why Folks Love This Brand
Because it’s real. It’s relatable and it works. My clients often say, “You helped me see things I never even knew I was carrying.” My brand is about liberation. It’s about helping you laugh, cry, heal, and rise unapologetically. It’s for those ready to do the soul work, not just the surface work.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Three qualities that have been the most impactful in my journey are persistence, initiative and spirituality. Persistence is needed for the rough and tumble world we live in in order to achieve your goals. Taking initiative helps with networking as well as pursuing new ideas or new ways of achieving goals. Spirituality helps ground us and gives us the map of the way forward.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?

When I feel overwhelmed I take a step back and pray. Rest may be needed so I rest. I also engage in therapeutic activities that feed my spirit like listening to music and singing.
