It’s in the words unspoken, the glances exchanged, the ease or tension in a conversation. It’s in who feels free to speak and who holds back. It’s in the invisible agreements, the internalized hierarchies, the ways we’ve learned to take up space... or shrink.
The problem? Most of us were never taught to see power clearly.
Once you see it, you can work with it consciously.
And when you do that, your relationships become more authentic and connective.
But there’s another key here: power alone isn’t enough. When it’s guided by the heart’s intelligence, it transforms. Unlike the mind — which builds walls when tension arises — the heart always opens. It wants to power with instead of powering over.
The mind alone can’t force the heart open. But the heart, when it opens, can transform the mind
This is for you if…
- You’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking, what just happened in there?
- You’re tired of shrinking, overcompensating, or feeling off-balance in personal or professional relationships
- You want to navigate conflict with more confidence, ease and less reactivity
- You’re ready to show up more fully as yourself and invite others to do the same
By the end of this series, you will:
- See power differently — understand the visible and hidden forces shaping relationships
- Feel more confident and grounded — even in high-stakes or tense situations
- Navigate conflict more fluidly — without bypassing, attacking, or losing yourself in the process
- Befriend the dreaming world — working with the deeper wisdom of your life’s patterns, challenges and disturbances
Heartfluence was born out of a vision: our brains turning into hearts. Because when the heart leads, conflict becomes possibility.
Your heart already knows the way. This series is an invitation to walk that mystery together.

Structure & flow
Discover your inner allies
Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other connection you have. In this session, you’ll begin to know your personal power, explore your expanding edges. You’ll work with the parts of yourself you’ve avoided and see how your inner world shapes the outer.
See the invisible forces
Every room you walk into carries layers of history, culture, and hierarchy –often unspoken, but deeply felt. This session helps you spot these hidden dynamics, from rank to the structural forces that shape us all. You’ll learn to name them, understand their impact, and choose how to engage with more clarity and choice.
Find wisdom in tension
Conflict isn’t a detour. It’s a doorway. Here, you’ll explore the four stages of conflict, learn how to stay connected while standing in your truth, and discover the hidden “ghost roles” that shape the conversation. You’ll leave with tools to navigate tension with more fluidity, presence, and curiosity. Here, too, the heart’s intelligence becomes a guide.
Listen to your mythical story
Beneath the surface of daily life, a dreaming world is always coming alive! In this session, you’ll work with your personal life myth to connect with the deeper intelligence guiding your relationships and purpose. It’s about seeing yourself as part of a bigger story and finding the next chapter waiting to be lived.

As a facilitator, Carla brings curiosity, openness, and courage to traverse any terrain, which creates an environment for others to lay down fear and open to healing.
