Clovally – Lovely & Lively
Written by Carly Gardner O’Brien
Let’s see the world together!
Hey there, fellow adventurers! Carly here, your guide to navigating the wild ride of life with equal parts hustle and harmony. I’m a mom, a wanderlust-stricken explorer, and yes, an ovary-acting fertility warrior currently navigating the thrilling (and sometimes tear-inducing) balance of work, motherhood and health. But wait, there’s more! I’m also a product-wielding product manager, crafting magic in the world of tech, and a dedicated wellness warrior fueling my fire with clean products and a deep curiousity.
This blog is my open door, where I spill the raw, unfiltered truth about balancing spreadsheets with sunset hikes, building empires with building blocks, and nurturing my well-being while nurturing my dreams. My mission? To inspire you to find your own vibrant blend, to embrace the messy bits (those ovary-acting days!), and to chase your dreams with the same passion you chase that next travel destination.
So, grab your passport and your protein powder, because we’re about to embark on a journey that’s equal parts spreadsheets and soul-searching, product launches and mountain peaks. I’ll be your cheerleader, your confidante, and sometimes your partner-in-laughter (and maybe a few fertility-induced tears).

Pod 14: Casey Winters (Challenge Day 14)
Many directions I can go with the reflection on Casey Winters’s interview with Lenny. The most present and relevant direction for me right now is Casey’s advice on interviewing. I have been in the interview game for about a year now. I like to think I have heard it...
Pod 13: Nickey Skarstad (Challenge Day 13)
When I listened to Nickey’s story I felt some kind of permission granted from her. Now I am not delusion, I know she was not talking to me! But I felt like her speaking about her transitions from one company to another to find the right fit for her gave me a sense of...
Pod 12: Manik Gupta (Challenge Day 12)
I have always wondered about the product team behind Google Maps. When I was a “young” PM working at Kroger, we were experimenting with a 30 minute grocery delivery SLA for our customers. One of the features we felt really strongly about what the “Uber” concept of...
Pod 11: Merci Grace (Challenge Day 11)
I am absolutely fascinated with onboarding flows. I worked on a product where the onboarding fed the consumer’s preferences and helped us give them a more personalized experience once into the main offering. It was far from perfect but it got the job done and we saw...
Pod 10: Sanchan Saxena (Challenge Day 10)
I fully acknowledge that I am a few years behind on this challenge! So it was really interesting to hear how AirBnB had to pivot during Covid. As someone who was expecting her first baby in May of 2020 so already in a place of pivot, I had already reduce my travel...
Pod 9: Teresa Torres (Challenge Day 9)
I LOVE Teresa Torres’s story!! I also LOVE her book and all of the free content she provides through the Product Talk website. I also LOVE doing Opportunity Solution Trees. If you have not worked through an opportunity using this framework I highly recommend you take...
Pod 8: Brandon Chu (Challenge Day 8)
If you are reading this on my personal blog then you probably can tell that I am an ecommerce fan. It is a common theme in my life and career. Most of my experience building ecommerce sites was on the Shopify platform. I have been set up as a Shopify expert (now...
Pod 7: Elena Verna (Challenge Day 7)
Elena’s interview with Lenny blew me away. I literally stopped what I was doing and started taking notes. I also started researching wanting to know more!! Because I had so many juicy take-aways I thought it may be easiest to share my notes with you on this...
Pod 6: Gibson Biddle (Challenge Day 6)
You know that feeling when you experience someone for the first time and your immediate feeling is that you are intimidated but you have no idea why?! That is the feeling I had listening to Gibson. Intimidatingly intelligent. I have a feeling if I was in the same room...
Pod 5: Jackie Bavaro (Challenge Day 5)
I am so happy to be doing this challenge, as one common theme for most of the interviews so far seems to be writing. Jackie is no exception as she has written two books — Cracking the PM Interview and Cracking the PM Career. As Jackie broke into people manager roles...
