Throughout her journey, Carla Alonzo has lived through the very gaps she now helps others close. From dropping out of high school and running away from home to navigating mental health challenges, unhealthy relationships, and even surviving cancer — her story is one of radical resilience and transformation. What could have broken her instead became the foundation for her bold calling.

​

Despite growing up surrounded by abandonment, fear, and self-doubt, Carla refused to let her past define her future. She rose to serve on nonprofit boards, earned national recognition as a mental health trainer, and became an award-winning speaker and community leader. Her lived experience gives her a powerful voice — not just of survival, but of restoration, leadership, and purpose.

​

Carla knows what it’s like to feel unseen. And she knows what happens when someone finally believes in your worth. That belief became her turning point — and now, it’s her mission: to help others rise above limitation, rewrite their story, and step boldly into the life they were meant to lead.
