This is Yellow.

The First Sniff of our first ever Podcast.

Welcome to Yellow 💛

The softest start to something I know is already special, our first Podcast episode is going out Monday 14th April 2025.

If you’ve been with me a while — reading my words, doing my workouts, watching me move through motherhood, identity shifts, grief, growth, joy — thank you. And if you’re brand new here, pulled in by something you couldn’t quite name, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here too.

For over 13 years, I’ve shared so much of myself online — and most of it, for free. Honestly? I didn’t know any other way. But now, I do. And I want things to feel different from here.

This space — Yellow — is different.

It started when Jax, my six-year-old daughter, asked for a podcast. She’s seen other kids online, heard me talk to cameras her whole life, and she wanted a piece of it. And while we’ve kept her completely offline until now — no photos, no videos, no stories in her voice — this request felt like something I needed to say yes to. Carefully.

So I built her a space. With intention. With boundaries.
And I put her behind a paywall.
Not to profit from her — but to protect her.
Because her voice is precious.
And this… is hers.

This is her safe space, with me. And with you — if you want to be here.

Maybe one day, Bowie will want a piece of it too. He’ll know it’s here if he does.

So what is Yellow?

It’s a soft, gentle little space on the internet where I’ll share the things that don’t belong on Instagram. The things that deserve a slower pace. A safer home. A bit more breath between the lines, every other Monday.

You’ll get:

• ✨ A weekly newsletter called The Things I Never Thought I’d Say — part journal, part life lesson, part “wow, parenting is weird isn’t it?”

• 🎙 A bi-weekly podcast every Monday (for paid subscribers only), where Jax and I sit down and talk. About real things. About life. About moving across the world, about Bowie being in hospital, about grief, about changing our minds, and about what it means to grow. It’ll evolve as we do.

It’s not polished. It’s not a production. We record from Costa Rica, where it’s hot and noisy and geckos chirp mid-sentence. Steven the dog farts. Cicadas sing. Monkeys sometimes yell just because they can. And we just roll with it.

There are no flashy graphics. No scheduled guests. No clickbait titles.
Just us. Talking. Growing. Figuring it out as we go.

If you decide to pay, you’ll get the podcast — audio + video — and the knowledge that you’re supporting something that isn’t about algorithms, but about real people, real voices, and building something slowly, on purpose.

We’re only just beginning. And that’s what makes it so beautiful.
It will grow with us.
And maybe with you too.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for opening this.
Thank you for choosing something a little softer.

With love,
Carly & Jax 💛
(+ Bowie when he’s ready, and Steven, of course)
