About this listen
In this episode, we sit down with Carla Pesono, a Buffalo, NY–native and New Orleans–based food creator and host of Say More, to talk about identity, career pivots, and what it really means to build a life that feels meaningful. Carla reflects on how her Italian roots shaped her relationship with food, why her time in broadcast news ultimately felt limiting, and the moment she realized fulfillment mattered more than a career in the news industry.
We explore her experience on MasterChef, the pressure of visibility, and how intuition—both in eating and in life—has guided her transition into full-time content creation. Carla also shares her reflections on staying grounded while navigating growth in the public eye.
This conversation is about longevity, self-trust, and choosing alignment over expectation.
