But beyond the spreadsheets, her favourite, and most important role begins after work, that of mother and wife. \u201cMy daily life is a mix of responsibilities, challenges and meaningful moments,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s not always easy, but it is incredibly rewarding. My job keeps me on my toes, dealing with everything from financial reports to strategic planning. But when I step through the front door, the world shifts,\u201d she smiles.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOnce I\u2019m home, I switch into family mode. Whether it\u2019s helping with dinner, spending time with my daughter, or just unwinding, that balance is so important.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Married to her high school sweetheart Bennie for five years (together for twelve!), Carli cherishes her family, two of whom happen to have four legs. But the newest and most precious addition to their home came through an unexpected phone call. Having always been moved by stories of children in need, she and her husband initially considered fostering a little boy but later found out he had found a loving home. They thought their fostering journey had come to an end, and then they received a call about a baby girl in need of a family.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-20457\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/2-400x256.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/2-400x256.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/2-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/2-655x420.jpg 655w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/2-696x446.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/2.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With only one month to prepare, the couple scrambled to gather everything a new-born would need. The moment they held baby Jordyn in their arms, their hearts were forever changed. \u201cShe is the biggest gift we have ever received from God. It just goes to show, DNA doesn\u2019t define a family, love does.\u201d Now, they are in the early stages of adoption, embracing every moment of this life-changing journey. \u201cEvery day, I am reminded how lucky we are. She has brought so much joy into our lives,\u201d smiles the bubbly redhead happily.<\/p>\n<p>Balancing work, family and personal passions isn\u2019t always easy. \u201cSometimes it feels like I\u2019m dropping the ball, but I\u2019ve learnt that some balls bounce back,\u201d she laughs, \u201cafter all, life is a juggling act, and it\u2019s OK if some things momentarily slip.\u201d To manage everything, Carli compartmentalises her roles. Work time is for work, family time is sacred, and sometimes, a nap is the best use of an afternoon! She also emphasises the importance of prioritisation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI try to keep my juggling balls to a manageable amount and leave the others at the door when needed. It\u2019s about knowing when to focus on what matters most,\u201d she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the moment that includes preparing herself for the Mrs South Africa pageant, something she decided to participate in on a whim. \u201cTo be honest, I\u2019m really not the ideal candidate to compete in something like this. I have held back so many times in my life because of my lack of confidence and endless insecurities, putting a mask on for the world. When I was growing up, people constantly made fun of my appearance. I\u2019m a natural redhead, and of course along with that come the freckles and inability to tan. There was always someone who had something to say, some as jokes, some plain nasty,\u201d Carli says. \u201cAs soon as I found out that we will be fostering a little girl, I decided to take the bull by the horns and embrace who I am. Jordyn is going to have her own struggles in life, especially due to her life story not being the norm. For me as a mother to motivate and encourage her, and to teach her not to let comments and opinions hold her back in life, I need to practise what I preach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20459 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-283x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"405\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-283x400.jpg 283w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-1448x2048.jpg 1448w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-297x420.jpg 297w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-696x985.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-1068x1511.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-1920x2716.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/new-scaled.jpg 1810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From tea parties with her daughter and lazy weekends with her parents, to taking the dogs for a walk, Carli finds happiness in the simplest moments. \u201cWe can just relax at home with each other, watch a little story, or go for a stroll at the mall.

People here are warm, friendly, and always willing to lend a hand. That\u2019s something really special.\u201d It is through the people around her, her faith, and even the simplest of moments that Carli finds inspiration, sometimes a conversation, a song or a scene from a movie. \u201cYou never know when something will spark an idea or shift your perspective,\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20458 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-283x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"413\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-283x400.jpg 283w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-1448x2048.jpg 1448w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-297x420.jpg 297w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-696x985.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-1068x1511.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-1920x2716.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/lowveld\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2025\/05\/7-scaled.jpg 1810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, what does the future hold?
