Our Podcast Story

Welcome to Make It to Wednesday!

Two coworkers-turned-besties (born just a week apart, but totally opposite Geminis and totally different ages) are here to help you survive the chaos of life—one episode at a time. We’re spilling the tea on everything from dating disasters and marriage moments to family drama, pop culture madness, and navigating the social jungle. It’s honest, hilarious, and just the kind of midweek pick-me-up you didn’t know you needed. So, grab your headphones, your favorite drink, and let’s vibe—because making it to Wednesday is a win worth celebrating!

Meet Your Hosts

Host

Karla Smith

Meet Karla: Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, she traded the burbs for Michigan life when she went to college—and never looked back! She's all about good food, good drinks, and staying somewhat active, whether it's hitting the gym, kayaking, or floating down the river on a tube. When she's not out exploring or working up a sweat, you can find her curled up with a good book, piecing together a tricky jigsaw puzzle, or hanging out with the love of her life, Simon.

Cooking, dancing, and singing are some of Karla's favorite ways to unwind, and don’t even get her started on how much she loves sleep (it’s practically a hobby). Life’s too short to take seriously, so she's all about making every moment count and having fun along the way!

Host

Carly Ream

Meet Carly: a country girl at heart who’s raising two energetic boys, a husband, a dog, and a cat—all while living the dream in the heart of the country. As an "older millennial" (35 and proud!), she’s all about staying busy, whether it's crafting up something fun, tackling home renovations, or hunting for hidden treasures while thrifting. When she’s not getting her hands dirty with DIY projects, you’ll find her binge-watching the latest TV shows, dancing to good music, or soaking up the sun on the water with her family.

Carly’s favorite adventures are the ones spent surrounded by loved ones—friends, family, and anyone who’s up for a good time. She’s always on the go, making memories and living life to the fullest!
