Today we’d like to introduce you to Carla Johnson.
Hi Carla, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My path has been a sacred journey of soulpreneurship—where every venture I’ve created is a reflection of my purpose, my healing, and my divine assignment.
In 2024, after spending 18 years in the corporate world, I felt a call to fully embody the work my soul came here to do. That calling birthed Ancient Sol Essence, a holistic wellness brand rooted in ancestral healing. Through sea moss blends, cold-pressed juices, plant-based meals, and detox protocols, I offer nourishment that supports both the physical and spiritual body.
I will soon be launching The Ancient Sol Essence Mystery School, a sacred educational portal where spiritual seekers can explore metaphysics, womb wisdom, multidimensional healing, and soul remembrance through guided activations, rituals, and teachings.
I also birthed The Empress Code, a transformational coaching space for women ready to reclaim their divine feminine power, rewrite their stories, and rise into their purpose.
My love for music and creating my own sound led to the creation of my musical alter ego Lucid Blue Lotus—where I channel soul-stirring frequencies infused with vibrational medicine and emotional alchemy. My music can be found on all streaming platforms.
Blue Lotus Property Preservation Group was a business I began in the middle of the pandemic while going through a major life transition. We partner with national REO vendors and private clients to protect and maintain real estate investments with excellence. To me, home is more than a structure—it is a sacred space of peace, protection, and restoration. We treat each property with that reverence, ensuring it reflects the care it deserves.
As a way to give back to our community, my sister Kalee and I started an organization, The Love Collaborative. We help young people and their families in need of food, clothing, and whatever else they may be struggling to access. From our own pockets to donation drives and community pop-up events, our mission is to be a consistent source of love, support, and practical resources—meeting people where they are and reminding them they’re not alone.
I didn’t just start businesses—I answered a soul assignment. Today, I blend metaphysics, herbal medicine, somatic rituals, healing frequencies, and spiritual mentorship to help others on their journey towards wholeness and self-mastery.
My offerings are portals, and my path is multidimensional—because we are. Every step, especially the unexpected ones, has led me here. I’m a guide, a bridge, and a mirror for those ready to embody their highest expression of self.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road has not been smooth, but it has been a gift. Every challenge became a portal to deeper purpose.
I’m a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and for many years, I lived with the silent weight of trauma, anxiety, and depression. That pain shaped how I moved through the world—always striving, performing, and people-pleasing to mask the deep inner ache. For a long time, I didn’t feel safe in my own body or voice. Healing became a necessity, not a luxury. Through years of inner work, therapy, spiritual practice, and divine remembrance, I began to alchemize that pain into power. Today, I advocate for women and children, helping others break generational cycles, speak their truth, and reclaim their light. That mission lives at the center of everything I do.
My physical health was another part of my healing journey. I was diagnosed with lupus at age 11 and spent years battling chronic fatigue, inflammation, and imbalance. Instead of accepting a life of pain and prescriptions, I chose a different path—one rooted in a plant-based lifestyle, holistic medicine, and intentional living. In 2014 I graduated from The Institute of Integrative Nutrition and became a Holistic Health Practitioner. My first assignment was healing myself. I’m still a work in progress, but after transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle, releasing 60lbs and committing to healing my body and mind in the last year and a half I feel like I’ve had a rebirth.
I’ve walked through divorce, the uncertainty of entrepreneurship, and one of the deepest losses of my life—the passing of my father, all within a 4 year time span. Losing him was both a heartbreak and a spiritual awakening. It reminded me of the importance of presence, ancestral connection, and honoring legacy in everything I do.
Anxiety still creeps up from time to time, but now I meet it with breath, with ritual, with truth. I’ve learned to hold space for my shadows and still choose the light.
None of this has been easy—but it has all been divine. Every breakdown became a breakthrough. Every wound became wisdom. And every step, even the painful ones, brought me into deeper alignment with who I really am.
Now, I use every scar and every sacred lesson as medicine, not just for myself but for others. My story is living proof that healing is real, purpose is powerful, and no pain is ever wasted when you choose to rise and know that you are limitless.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Ancient Sol Essence is more than a wellness brand—it’s a sacred movement.
Rooted in ancestral wisdom, holistic nourishment, and spiritual elevation. Ancient Sol Essence was created to help people heal from the inside out. What started as a personal journey to reverse autoimmune symptoms, reclaim my health and equip my children with tools for longevity has now become a full-spectrum offering for the collective.
We specialize in intentional wellness—sea moss blends, cold-pressed juices, detox protocols, herbal teas, and plant-based meals crafted with high vibrational ingredients and pure love. These aren’t just products—they’re soul nourishment. Everything we offer is designed to bring the body back into balance and reconnect you to your divine essence.
What sets us apart is the energetic intention behind every offering. We infuse our products with healing frequencies and affirmations as we speak life into everything we touch. Whether you’re sipping a green juice or taking your daily dose of sea moss, you’re receiving more than nutrients—you’re receiving high vibrational nutrition, alignment, and love. The energy behind the individual creating what you consume is just as important as what you consume.
I’m most proud of how our brand activates healing on multiple levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Our upcoming Ancient Sol Mystery School will expand this even more by offering sacred education in womb wisdom, metaphysics, holistic living, and multidimensional embodiment.
Ancient Sol Essence is for those who are ready to remember. Ready to heal. Ready to rise. We aren’t here to compete—we’re here to restore, to reconnect, and to return people to the medicine within themselves.
For your readers, I want them to know this: your healing is sacred. Your body is wise. And everything you need is already within you, we’re just here to remind you of what’s always been. We’d love to help support you on your wholeness journey when you’re ready.
Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
Yes—I’m a student of life, so I’m always feeding my spirit, sharpening my mind, and staying in alignment. I’m deeply intentional about the content I consume because I believe what we feed our soul is just as important as what we feed our body.
Books have been some of my greatest teachers. A few that have deeply impacted me include:
Sacred Woman by Queen Afua
Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss
The Law of Divine Compensation by Marianne Williamson
The Medical Medium books
Podcast and YouTube influencers that keeps me grounded and expansive include:
Therapy for Black Girls
Abraham Hicks
Erin Lyons
Blackmagic363
Apps that help me stay spiritually and physically aligned:
Notion for organizing my soulpreneur life with structure and flow
The Pattern and TimePassages for astrological insights and self-reflection
But honestly, my greatest resource is my own intuition. I often voice journal, do breathwork, and sit in silence to receive spiritual downloads. Spirit is always speaking—we just have to slow down and listen.
