Welcome
- Are you a woman over 50 who feels like you’re spinning your wheels?
- Are you overwhelmed by “expert advice”?
- Do you want to build your business and get results without selling your soul (or sanity)?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you can take a deep breath and know you are not alone.
Been there, in your shoes, and I felt the same way! I wasted time chasing all the wrong strategies, only to realize the simple truth: a few solid tools beat a mountain of fluff. Let me help you skip the headache! You are entering the next stage of being a woman over 50. Every guru has their golden ticket—yawn. Here, I keep it real. No fancy fluff, just straightforward tools you can use (yes, even when tech isn’t your BFF). There is a solution; you have hope, and I’m here to guide and support you.
Think it’s too late to start? Let’s break that mindset. You’re not out of the game just because the “best years” are behind you. (Spoiler: they’re not!) You have all the life wisdom—and now, the tools to back it up. Tired of “fitting in” online? Me too. Let’s forget about being perfect and focus on being real. Here, you’ll find real talk, practical tools, and a whole lot of heart, just for women like you.
Let’s start by acknowledging that your life is NOT over. The rocking chair is not your final destination, not by far. However, you’re tired of jumping from one “miracle” solution to the next, pouring time (and way too much money) into businesses that over-promise and under-deliver. You’ve got the drive, but the overwhelm? It’s real.
Believe me, I’ve been there, done that, and have the stress wrinkles to prove it. After years of chasing shiny objects and getting burnt out on empty promises, I realized what really works: keeping it simple, focusing on real tools (hello, email list!), and building a business that doesn’t own you. Because who needs more hustle in their life, right?
I’m Carla Gardiner, a no-nonsense grandma who ditched the 9-to-5 to help women like you build something meaningful—without the runaround. Here, you’ll get practical, straight-to-the-point strategies, minus the fluff, because you deserve a business that actually pays off. Let’s cut through the noise and make this journey worth your while.
I’m Carla Gardiner—a grandma to eight amazing kids, married for over 45 years, and a passionate affiliate marketer and resource guide. My journey started in the world of banking, but it wasn’t long before I built a successful brick-and-mortar business. Over time, though, that business started to own me—worse than a regular job! That experience taught me what not to do, and I knew there had to be a better way.
Enter digital marketing. I’ve since found my stride using smart, efficient tools that allow me to work on my own terms (hello, email lists!). Today, I guide women like you who want to build something meaningful without sacrificing family time or sanity. I've been through the ups and downs and am here to show you the real-deal tools that help you get results without the endless hustle.
Why me? I’ve lived the highs and lows, figured out what works, and now I’m here to help you create a business that truly supports the life you want—because you deserve to work smarter, not harder.

"Very well put. I've been with a health and nutrition company for over 26 years and I understand exactly what you are going through. I shiver to think what my health might be today at age 68 had I not stuck to my guns as far as practicing what I preach. Yes, I fall off the wagon regularly but my daily routine life reflects taking care of my health. That way I can keep up (somewhat) with my 7 grandchildren. You keep it up, Carla". 
"For most people the thought of venturing out there in pursuit of your dreams, in a place outside of your comfort zones is just what stops them. But I could sense your excitement not resentment in going against the competition. In planting your stake and truly making a difference in the clients experience. That's ultimately what matters, the rest just falls so easily into place. Thanks for that reminder"! 
Carla, I’ve got to say that I LOVE your focus on the joys and challenges facing women over 50. I’m definitely in that camp! I’ve been inspired by your candor, practical ideas, and refreshing determination to joyfully tackle life. The hours we’ve spent on the phone, in person, and through social media have enriched my life immeasurably. YOU are one Fiery Grandma, and I love your style! 
I have known Carla Gardiner for 6+ years. We met at a business training for bring business online. She is a business women at heart and willing to do the hard things to make the results show up. I have watched her run a business, work a job and take care of her family. She is a go getter when it comes to putting in the work to build her business to the level of being able to enjoy her grand kids.
She is the example that age is not a limit it is a tool for sharing knowledge to those she empowers to use their own skills and talents. Excuses are fuel to push her to learn and apply. I have seen her scared to death about implementing new technology and rock it out despite the learning curve.
I love watching you grow into your greatness Carla! Don’t slow down. 
"Carla, you are a model for me to follow. I love your site. And, I like what you have to say - very kind, very gracious. I have to say though that nothing in my life has ever been crystal clear". 
"I've known Carla for 5+ years and can tell you that she has lived every bit of this and more. We shared tears and laughs and hard work....you will enjoy getting to know Carla."
