I absolutely love the Soulful Shout Out series here on Soul Speak! I get to highlight and introduce you to beautiful people and their wonderful offerings!
Last fall, I was introduced to Carol Tuttle’s work and immediately felt a soul connection. The more I learned about her and all of the goodness that she was putting into the world, the more inspired I became.
If you’re just meeting Carol for the first time, I’m so happy to introduce you to her! For over 20 years, Carol has supported thousands of people in living their truth through her many books, courses, workshops, and media appearances. She is the creator of the Dressing Your Truth® beauty makeover system and the Energy Profiling® system, and is the bestselling author of several books, including Remembering Wholeness, It’s Just My Nature, and The Child Whisperer.
I had the opportunity to take her Dressing Your Truth® course last year, and it completely changed my life! (You can read about my experience here.)
Carol is offering her Beauty Profiling® course for everyone for free, which I’ll share more about soon. But for now, I’m so happy to share our soulful interview with you!
Welcome to Soul Speak, Carol! I’m honored that we’re sharing this time together. You’ve already made such an impact in my life, which I’m truly grateful for. While I love all of the products that you’ve created, what I love even more is that I can feel your heart and soul in each of them. I can see that you are living your soul’s purpose, which is so inspiring! For those who are just meeting you, I would love for you to share a bit about how your current life came to be. Was there a particular moment when you decided to take the leap and start your own company, or was it more of a gradual thing? Did any fears pop up along the way? And if so, how were you able to keep moving forward?
Thank you, Jodi, I appreciate your kind introduction. My journey of healing started when I was in my late 20s as a young mother of 4 small children. I was suffering from chronic depression and undiagnosed PTSD from having grown up in an abusive and traumatic family environment. I started my path to healing to save my children from the wounding of a dysfunctional mother. That led me to want to help others who had also been let down from mediocre results from traditional methods of therapy. After an answer to a very heartfelt prayer and seeking God’s guidance, I was led to enter the world of energy healing and become trained in several modalities, which lead me to start my energy healing private practice in 1995. The internet wasn’t widely used at that time, so I could not foresee where I am now, but I can say that I have been lead each step of the way to build my business, not knowing how it was going to look in the future.
In your Dressing Your Truth book, you share about your own journey with growing up and not feeling comfortable with how you looked (something most of us can relate to). You wrote that you were trying to fit into someone else’s idea of what beauty was, rather than allowing it to flow from the inside out. This is what I love so much about what you do: you start with the soul and our inner beauty – making sure that we’re embracing ourselves from a grounded, loving place. And from there, we can learn which beauty type we are and allow ourselves to honor that fully and love our outer beauty, too. I would love for you to share some of your own journey with learning to love yourself – from the inside out.
Knowing my energy Type as a Type 3 rich, dynamic woman has been life changing. I was born in 1957, when culturally women were cast into the traditional role of all women being soft and subordinate, as compared to men. My swift, determined, assertive nature was not the traditional interpretation of the feminine. Without knowing what I know now, I easily defaulted into the belief that who I was was wrong and flawed as a female. With my Beauty Profiling system, I recognize the different expressions of the feminine, which helps women know their truth from the inside out, rather than looking to cultural standards to define themselves. This has helped me tremendously live an authentic life as a woman.
One of the ways that your Dressing Your Truth® course helped me greatly is to give myself permission to be present in and love my body – really for the first time in my life. I was molested as a child, and as an adult my “style” consisted of wearing anything that wouldn’t attract attention. So I gravitated toward dark colors and clothes that were several sizes too big to sort of camouflage myself. After taking your course last year, I started to embrace my body, and I’m having so much fun picking out clothes that feel good and that honor who I am. I feel so good about myself – knowing that what I’m wearing is a true representation of who I am on the inside as well as the outside. So thank you, truly. I know thousands of women have taken this course and I’m sure you hear transformations such as these all of the time. I would love for you to share one or two with us here!
Thank you, Jodi. Yes, I have the blessing of hearing from thousands of women and how their lives have changed for the better since learning the Type of Beauty and Dressing Their Truth.
The most common feedback I receive is not first about how much they love the way they look, but rather, how much they love themselves, and feel an inner permission to live true to themselves. Comments like “Thank you, Carol, for helping me find me for the first time.” “I love my new look, but more than that, I feel I can more fully love myself.”
We just received an email yesterday from a mother who recently lost her 47-year-old daughter with an early death. She wrote me to thank me for helping her daughter find herself, and for helping her find and express her beauty. That is such an honor to hear from women and their families how much they value this program.
You’re definitely doing beautiful work in the world and are changing thousands of lives. I’m so glad that you said yes to your calling!
I love that you’re offering everyone your Beauty Profiling® course for free! Would you please share more about it?
I am passionate about helping all women discover their truth, the truth that is uniquely expressed as their inner and outer beauty. My Beauty Profiling course is the first step in finding your truth. I teach you about the 4 Types of beauty and how to assess your Type by assessing your thoughts and feeling tendencies, behavior tendencies, personality, body language, and your physical features. It is much more than a personality typing system. It’s the first profiling system where I will ask you to look at your face to see the shapes and lines of your features that express your Type of Beauty.

I’m so happy that you’re a contributing author in our upcoming book, 365 Ways to Connect with Your Soul! I can’t wait to share it with everyone this November! Thank you for writing such a beautiful piece! As you know, there are so many beautiful ways to connect with our soul, and I would love for you to share a few of your favorites with us.
Thank you for asking me to write a piece for your book. A few ways I connect with my soul on a daily include music, visualization and meditation, and slowing down to listen to my soul’s directive.
What does your soul want you to know?
That you are amazing, and to believe it!
What’s next on the horizon for you?
I want to expand my outreach with my bestselling book, The Child Whisperer, create more content for parents to raise their children true to their nature, and most likely another book on the 4 Types in my Energy Profiling system and how that looks in relationships, marriage specifically!!
Is there anything else you would like to share?
Just that it’s an honor to have reached over 50,000 women in over 100 countries that have learned their Type of Beauty and are Dressing Their Truth.
Thank you so much for joining us here today. And thank you for all that you’re doing to help others. I’m truly grateful.
Big hug,
