What pivotal changes is Karlie Kloss navigating in her life?
Today on the Aspire podcast, I'm sitting down with my friend Carly Kloss. And let me just say, this conversation is going to be so good. Carly's having baby number three. She's running companies, investing in brands she believes in, and she is shaking up the publishing world. And yet somehow she's doing it all with the most grounded, no BS energy you can imagine. We talk money, mindset, and what to do when you're feeling underestimated. We also get into mum life, mum guilt, career pivots, making bold moves and what it really takes to go from being the face of a brand to building your own empire. Carly is thoughtful, honest and so much more than just a pretty face. So let's get into it.

Carly, welcome to Aspire. I'm so happy to have you here today.
Thank you, Emma, for having me. I love you so much. I'm so in awe of all you've built and I'm so honored to be having this conversation with you.
Well, likewise, my darling, but first things first, you're having a little baby, number three.
Oh my gosh, I like barely fit in this chair. I'm like busting. I'm so excited. I'm so, it's only just starting to hit me. I'm like halfway through and I'm like, oh, I'm going to have three children. You're going to have three little children.
Three under five.
How does Karlie manage motherhood and her career?
Five, yeah. Oh my goodness.
Are you kidding me?
I'm so excited and I'm so tired, but most of all excited.
You should be so excited. So I kind of want to start there because, you know, you're about to have three children. I have four children and you're doing so much all the time. I'm really curious how you think about, you know, I really loathe the word balance when we start talking about motherhood, given everything that we do. But I wonder, like, do you have, like, just how are you feeling about the whole thing? How are you feeling about doing everything that you do while, you know, trying to be here with three kids?
Well, I have lots to learn from you, mother of four and running your empires. I try just to do the best I can every single day. And I feel in a lot of ways, actually, having kids has sort of been a forcing function of prioritization. I've always been somebody who does a lot. I think that's just the way I'm wired. I started working at 15. I know you started really young as well. Pretty young. So it's in my blood to sort of just like be busy and do things and be a productive person. But also having a child and, you know, I had my first son in the pandemic in 2021. And up until then, I really was a workaholic. I was on an airplane every two days, like genuinely. And even, you know, even through my relationship, like I was, work was always sort of my number one priority.
And sorry, Josh, but. We both, you know, we're both working all the time, but I think having a child and now being onto my third child, a lot of things have sort of just fallen into place. Like what matters most to me and what I'm willing to compromise for, compromise sleep for, and what I'm not.
Yeah. What gives for you? What are the, because I always talk about this idea of there just being inevitable trade-offs. And I agree with you because I think you are forced to prioritize. And for me, that makes actually your work, like you get really sharp, right? There's no time wasted, but I wonder for you, what are the trade-offs?
