Let’s be honest—“authenticity” has been thrown around so much that it’s practically lost all meaning.

How I define it?

→ Authenticity is the gutsy act of aligning your life, choices, and actions with what actually matters to YOU—not what Instagram or your family insists you ‘should’ care about.

→ It’s about rediscovering who you are at your core, speaking your truth without needing a permission slip, and living with integrity in a way that doesn’t make you want to scream into a pillow at 3 a.m.

It's the secret sauce to a flourishing professional and personal life.

But here’s the truth: Living authentically isn’t always easy. It can feel like an inner tug-of-war between the version of yourself you think the world expects and the person you truly are. That tension can be exhausting, leaving you feeling stuck, split, and unsure of how to move forward.

The Inner Tug-of-War

You feel split between trying to find the “right” way to show up and how to be true to you.

You find yourself in an exhausting balancing act:

  • Self-care or career growth (because clearly, you can’t have both—thanks, capitalism).
  • Creativity or financial success (as if being creative automatically means being broke).
  • Being true to yourself or staying likable (spoiler: you’re never going to be everyone’s cup of tea—and that’s a good thing!)

You’re caught between the polished professional version of you and the “dance like nobody’s watching” version secretly Googling how to start a tarot reading side hustle. 

It’s like living a double life, and honestly?

It’s exhausting.

The Problem?

You’ve been taught to pick ‘one thing’, to choose one part of yourself to lead with while banishing the rest.

But here’s the truth: you’re not just one thing. You’re a dynamic, beautifully contradictory, walking Pinterest board of passions, ideas, and quirks.

And right now?

Trying to fit all of that into a life that feels whole probably seems downright impossible.

You long for wholeness.

The Authenticity Lab

The Authenticity Lab is designed to help you break free from this exhausting cycle and create a life where you don’t have to

choose anymore.

Get on the 2025 Waitlist

You’ve always been the go-getter, the passionate one, the “bring it on” type who took on challenges like a pro. That’s how you landed the career you have—or built your own business.

You worked hard for the degree, the certifications, and the wins, and you’re rightfully proud of it all. You genuinely like working and love that sense of accomplishment when you crush a project.

But now, that passion feels like a hamster wheel. You want the promotion, but the energy to deliver? Long gone, and someone else got the gold star.

You’re stuck in a cycle of endless productivity—day in, day out—with no end in sight.

Hobbies? You can’t even remember what those are. Free time? You’d probably just sleep.

Burnout isn’t looming; it’s already moved in, and that spark you used to feel?

Barely flickering.

You know something needs to change, but breaking old habits feels impossible.

By the time you get home, you’re drained, and there’s no energy left for relationships, hobbies, or even figuring out what’s for dinner.

Deep down, you know it can’t go on like this.

You think to yourself...

"How am I going to keep up this pace?"

What you really want is to...

  • Feel Energized and Excited: Wake up ready to seize the day (or at least not dread it).
  • Have More Mental Space: Stop replaying every awkward interaction from 2017 and focus on what matters.
  • Empowered Boundaries: Say “no” like a boss (without feeling like a jerk).
  • Time for You: Rediscover hobbies that aren’t napping or stress-eating snacks.
  • Authenticity and Joy: Rediscover yourself again—the real, unapologetic, i-don’t-need-a-filter version.

It's time to take your power back.

Carly Clark Zimmer: Certified Life Coach

Meet Your Coach

I've been called a Thought Translator and personal organizer for your brain, your energy, and your life!

I'm uniquely qualified to help lead you on the road to Authenticity because I spent the first few decades letting few people see my WHOLE self.

I was painfully shy well into my early twenties, carrying an internal fire to speak up, yet constantly holding back out of fear of saying the wrong thing.

Once I learned how to decode my energy signature and how to manage my thoughts, my life started to open up.

I started as an introverted licensed massage therapist, working quietly in a dimly lit room where self-promotion wasn’t necessary—my services spoke for themselves. Over time, I transformed into a Certified Life and Leadership Coach with an international practice, showing up boldly, using my authentic voice, and making meaningful change in the world.

Now, I help others step into their unique, self-defined expression of authenticity.

My background as a massage therapist gave me invaluable somatic tools to support nervous system regulation and burnout recovery—essential for making sustainable life changes. This means that while you realign your life, we’ll also focus on helping you feel grounded, energized, and resilient.

Inside The Authenticity Lab, I combine evidence-based coaching tools with embodiment practices to awaken the brilliance of your mind and connect it to the wisdom of your body.

Together, we’ll:


Find your middle place instead of swinging from one extreme to the other.

Find your connection with Universal Energy and get the promotion or build the business.
✨ Create a practical, actionable plan to realign your life authentically
✨ Build the confidence and
energy you need to sustain these changes

I’ll hold a compassionate, judgment-free space for you, offering truth, support, and accountability every step of the way.

It’s time to reclaim your power, vibrance, passion, and authenticity—and I’m here to guide you.

From the Masculine Energy of Hustling in NYC to writing her novel...

"Working with Carly has been transformational in my life. As a coach and as a person, she truly comes from a place of integrity and truth, and you can feel that when you work with her.

Four years ago, when I was at the beginning of my self-discovery journey. I thought she was going to make me quit my job right away!

Instead, Carly met me where I was. I needed to get to know myself and why I wanted to leave so I could figure out where I needed to go next.

I got to really know myself, so I had the internal trust to take the big leap.

I'm so grateful for her warmth, genuine curiosity, no-nonsense, direct feedback, and ability to guide me through whatever I'm going through at any time.

If you're considering working with her, just take the leap.

You'll be happy you did."


P.S. For anyone on the fence, this best decision and investment you will ever make.

Seriously!

Why Authenticity is the Key to Success

When you lead from authenticity, you:


✨ Make smarter decisions with clarity and confidence.
✨ Have the energy to show up fully in work, relationships, and life.
✨ Create space for creativity and inspired action.
✨ Inspire others by being your whole self—without burning out.

Getting there requires clearing the noise, integrating all parts of yourself, and embracing your “both and”—the mystical and the logistical, the spiritual and the strategic.

The Authenticity Lab goes beyond surface-level changes—it's a space for profound and lasting transformation.

Who this program is for:


✅ You’re ready to embrace your “both and”—the mystical and the logistical.
✅ You value deep, transformational work.
✅ You’re done with surface-level fixes and ready to go all in.
✅ You’re craving alignment, energy, and a life that feels true to YOU.

You value spaces where you are Seen and Supported, not passed over and lost in a big group.

You want someone who understands the energetics AND has a gift for systems, strategy, and logistics. 


 The Authenticity lab is NOT for you if: 

  • You want a pre-made solution
  • You're not ready to look at the shadow parts of yourself
  • You're not ready to take responsibility for what's happening in your life (no judgment here, just the truth. It can take time to claim this power.)

Cross-Cultural Competency, Awareness, and Equity Pledge:

I stand in solidarity with Black, Brown, Indigenous, Minority Ethnic, and People of Colour,  LGBTQIA+ & those who hold culturally and systemically marginalized identities to dismantle systemic racism. I pledge to continue to comb through my cultural bias, vet coaching tools and philosophies, and question business systems & practices for their equality and effectiveness instead of blindly following what has been done before. After all, if you've read this far you know that this is everything I'm here to dismantle both systemically and within ourselves.

My communities have a strict vetting process so that we can provide a safe, trauma-informed space for people of all identities to learn, grow, ask questions, and provide their own valuable insight and feedback for us all to learn from.

I'm a lifelong learner and have spent the past 15 years of my life studying the mystical, logistical, and scientific aspects of human behavioral change.
