Host Carla Piera FitzGerald uses her personal experience of losing half her body weight to relate to her guests tales of self-development
14th January 2025: GoLoud has announced the launch of a new podcast hosted by Carla Piera FitzGerald (known online as Half of Carla). ‘The Imperfectionist’ sees Carla, who has lost half her body weight in just 14 months, speak to a series of guests about their personal stories of self-development.
In the process of losing 180lbs, Carla realised the most important transformation wasn’t physical—it was learning to let go of perfectionism and silence her inner critic. In each episode, Carla chats to guests who reveal their own self-doubts and how they have overcome them to become happier and more successful. The goal? To help listeners empower themselves, embrace their imperfections, and unlock their true potential.
Speaking about the podcast, host Carla Piera FitzGerald said:
“After my dramatic weight loss, I realised that we all struggle with self-doubt. While I might have gotten my inner critic under control, many more out there are still struggling with theirs but they can now get advice and gain a greater understanding from The Imperfectionist.
“A podcast has been an aspiration for me for a long time and to be able to do it with such an established and recognised platform like GoLoud is an amazing opportunity. I’m so excited for people to hear it and to take something from either my guest’s story or my own.”
Managing Editor of GoLoud Darren Cleary said: “Carla’s story is very inspiring and so clearly resonates with a wide audience already across her social channels. Through our partnership with her, we can widen that reach to help encourage even more on their self-development journey. GoLoud is well established across many different genres including comedy and lifestyle and The Imperfectionist will further cement us a leader in the Irish market.”
The first episode of ‘The Imperfectionist’ is available to listen to now on the GoLoud app or all major podcast platforms with episodes released weekly.
