This week on the Quality of Life Podcast, Raha meets Carleen, a multi-business owner, fashion entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for helping women leave the 9 to 5 and build financial freedom on their own terms.

Carleen’s story is not just about success. It’s about facing burnout, losing her energy and direction, and slowly rebuilding with purpose, calm, and a strong morning coffee.

In this open and inspiring conversation, Carleen shares:

The unexpected signs of burnout and how no one warned her
How a functional medicine approach helped her heal
Why she gave up intense workouts, started eating blueberries before bed, and learned to slow down
Her simple morning routine that changes everything
The story behind Blondie and the fashion gap she saw in Dubai
The joy she finds in puzzles, journaling, Grey’s Anatomy, and mint dark chocolate
Why emotion in business isn't weakness but a strength

This is a conversation about mindset, healing, ambition, and finding joy in the little things. Whether you're navigating stress, thinking about starting something new, or just need a reminder that it’s okay to pause and begin again, Carleen’s story will leave you feeling inspired and understood.
