The Paula Faris Show

Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It.

Join Emmy Award–winning journalist and founder of CARRY™, Paula Faris, for honest conversations at the intersection of parenting, work, and real life.

Alongside her frequent co-host (and husband) John, Paula dives into the questions today’s parents are really asking: “When should we have the sex talk?” “Why are we fighting about dishes again?” “How can I juggle work and…everything?”

This listener-led show explores the messy, meaningful moments of modern parenthood — with laughter, vulnerability, and zero sugarcoating. If you're raising kids while holding a career (and maybe losing your mind in the process), this is your space.

MEET CARRY MEDIA™

CARRY Media™

I founded CARRY™ Media because the pressure of being a working mom is personal — I’ve lived it. I’ve never felt like I was fully nailing it, and I know I’m not alone. That’s why I’m on a mission to make working motherhood actually work.

CARRY™ Media creates content that speaks to the real-life chaos, humor, and heart of being a working mom — because we need support, not just slogans. Our flagship newsletter, The CARRY™ ALL, is your weekly pep talk, reality check, and BFF all in one.

This media platform fuels the mission behind CARRY™ Consulting, too — because culture doesn’t change without conversation. And it starts with hearing, seeing, and supporting working parents.
