The Starr Report

👋 I’m Karla Starr

From my brain to your pixels to your brain 😮

I’m a behavioral science nerd 🧠🌶️, neurodivergent creative tech strategist, two-time author📕📘, and someone who's constantly rebuilding her life from the inside out—with art, tools, experiments, and stubborn hope.1

This Substack is where I explore how to live, create, and work in ways that actually feel good. Expect soulful essays, weird experiments, and digital tools that won’t make you hate yourself.

Whether you’re neurodivergent, overextended, allergic to hustle culture, or just tired of pretending your 87 open tabs are a "system"—you’re in the right place.

💡 My content lives inside these semi-chaotic buckets:

• 🌀 Hard Reset

  • Tactical tools + tiny rituals for when your brain is fried.

• 🎨 Beautiful Systems

  • Designing systems that support your joy, not just your output.

• 🌈 Spark File

  • Tools, ideas, and tech experiments that light something up inside.

Want More?

👀 I also do AI training for organizations, creative workshops for humans, and the occasional keynote about how to build systems that don’t break your soul.

📺 Don’t want to read? I gave a keynote about all this, sorta.
