The question isn’t “what’s next?” so much as “where does safety live now?” That’s where our conversation with Karla begins—mid-shock, mid-limbo—after she leaves her marriage, her home, and the routines that once defined her. Karla is a violinist with The OK Factor and the founder of The Inspired Foundry, and she brings the kind of honesty that disarms you: panic attacks during a tour stop, court emails that feel like alarms, and the way sharing dogs can turn a simple text into a week-long grief spiral. We map the three stages of major transition—shock, limbo, and re-entry—and discuss what actually moves you forward: safe people, simple rituals, and boundaries you establish every day.
As the fog lifts, we get into therapy as both triage and transformation. Karla shares how an early mismatch still helped her stabilize, why switching therapists opened new doors, and how weekly cadence became a lifeline. We explore the difference between a breakup and a divorce, the guilt and shame that surface on their own schedule, and how triggers can send you back to mile zero without erasing progress. Along the way, Karla makes a case for community that isn’t performative—friends who will sit on a green room floor and say “You’re safe” until your body believes it.
From there, the conversation widens to creative re-entry. Karla recognizes that brand design without deeper alignment no longer fits, and she pivots The Inspired Foundry toward idea coaching, residencies, and visual identities rooted in purpose. Networking becomes a small but brave practice for an introvert relearning how to be seen. And then the dream returns: 30 acres of rolling land, a retreat barn, tiny houses, artists showing up with unfinished ideas and leaving with momentum. If you’re somewhere between letting go and letting in, this story is a reminder that you don’t lose yourself to grief—you rebuild the path back.
