It’s Time to Get Real (in a fun way)
Through comedy, storytelling, film, integrative wellness and spiritual tools, along with other artforms including my ministry and movement 1-800-EARTH, I am focused on Getting Real.
My mission is making things that challenge the status quo (for Good) and changing the world from a grounded yet brazenly authentic, eccentric and esoteric place.
(AND HELPING OTHERS DO THE SAME!)
A SHORT SUMMARY OF MY LIFE
I grew up in New York City to a very creative family with tons of pets including tarantulas, iguanas and pet rats. As a sensitive weirdo, I was often bullied and suffered from anxiety but felt hopeful I would one day “figure out life” “and save planet Earth” from pollution and other bad stuff happening here on our magical planet.
Up until my 30’s, I suffered with intense anxiety and other mystery chronic health issues but still managed to make a variety of award-winning comedic and other creative projects for companies like MTV News, Free People and had my work featured in places like The New York Times, The Wallstreet Journal, The Today, Show, The Museum of Modern Art, but SOMETHING WAS ALWAYS MISSING…
(My soul!)
After the death of my father in 2017 (Comedian Uncle Dirty - collaborator with George Carlin and Richard Pryor, among others) and introduction to plant medicine, I had an existential crisis and spiritual awakening and realized that I needed to completely overhaul my life if I actually wanted to “save our planet” like I had hoped to do since childhood.
I SPENT 2017-2025 LEARNING EVERYTHING I COULD ABOUT DEFEATING ANXIETY AND CREATING ART FROM A HIGHER LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS. It was during this period that I learned the influence of environmental toxins on mental health - especially heavy metals and parasites.
I became certified in both Integrative Health and Spiritual Psychology because of the tremendous benefits I felt in my own healing journey.
I also learned I was “Autistic” (which is why normal business advice/health information NEVER seemed to help me - and why I never fit in with our boring linear-thinking society….)
I AM WIRED DIFFERENTLY - and perhaps you are too if you have also never fit into society either!
As I began to detoxify from all the heavy metals / toxins / terrible life + health advice I had received throughout my life, my soul came back online and I learned that my anxiety/health challenges which I had previously resented were actually helpful messenger, NOT enemies.
When I finally listened to my pain, I realized it was here to wake me up, not to torment me.
Between 2016-2025, I left NYC and became a total hermit (living part of the time in a cabin in the woods of Northern California)
I took a 9+ year break from society/making things to heal myself and completely overhaul my entire life;
This plot-twist trajectory set me on my true mission - which is to build a NEW Paradigm of Humor & Healing.
I am now the founder of the movement + ministry 1-800-EARTH along with MAKE CLOUDS REAL AGAIN, 2 ways we can comedically heal this planet using humor.
In addition to my own unconventional art, I love to assist sensitive rebels in finding inner peace and making our personal and professional dreams come true using humor and healing*, so we can make the massive impact we came here to, without abandoning ourselves, or denying our sensitivity or weirdness.
What good is success if we don’t even know who we truly are? (Or are afraid to show our true self?! HOW BORING IS THAT?!)
IN THESE INCREASINGLY SYNTHETIC TOXIC TIMES, THE EARTH NEEDS US TO GET REAL. ON ALL LEVELS.
I work with both NYC millionaires and starving artists and everyone in between.
We have all been victims of our broken society and I am here to help other sensitive souls pick up the pieces to make your most epic art, live your best life, physically, mentally, creatively and spiritually (without losing your sense of humor!)
Healing and Humor Go Hand In Hand.
Thanks for reading all the way to the end/beginning! :)
Love,
Carlen
