Paula Faris is an award-winning journalist, author, and founder of CARRY™ Media and CARRY™ Consulting, where she helps companies create cultures that work for working parents.

After more than two decades in journalism—co-anchoring Good Morning America Weekend and co-hosting The View—Paula stepped away from the anchor desk to step into a deeper calling: advocating for working families in a world that often overlooks them.

Through CARRY™, Paula partners with forward-thinking organizations to turn good intentions into real support—advising on everything from parental leave strategies to caregiver-friendly policies, benefits, and brand positioning.

Her best-selling book Called Out invites readers to rethink how we define identity and success. Her follow-up, You Don’t Have to Carry It All, offers a rally cry for working moms—and the systems that need to change around them.

At her core, Paula is a champion for people, purpose, and practical change. She lives in South Carolina with her husband, John, their three kids, and a very clingy dog.
