Design a life
that fits.

You don't have to.

About Carma
I'm not someone who figured this out at 25. I navigated decades of intentional, unconventional choices — career pivots, single life on my own terms — and the slow, sometimes uncomfortable work of figuring out what I was actually designed for.
