Let It Be Fun: A Story About Timing, Trust, and a Stanley Cup - What if you don’t have to ration magic?

What started as a simple search for a sparkly Stanley cup turned into one of the most meaningful reminders I’ve received all year. In this episode, I share a story about timing, intuition, and the quiet ways we’re supported — even in the smallest, most unexpected moments. From a parking spot that appeared at just the right time, to a perfectly placed sign hidden in a year-old podcast episode, this experience shifted something for me. Because somewhere along the way, I started to believe that support was reserved for the heavy things… for the hard things… for survival. But what if that’s not the only way it works? What if you don’t have to ration it? What if you’re allowed to ask for help — even in the light, seemingly insignificant moments? This isn’t really about a cup. It’s about permission. To receive. To trust what you feel. And to let things be a little easier than you’re used to.

Radiance Is an Inside Job: Sobriety, Manifestation & the Energy of Beauty with Hannah Summerhill

In this episode, I sit down with manifestation expert and writer Hannah Summerhill for a conversation that completely reframes what beauty, radiance, and vitality actually mean. We explore the deeper connection between sobriety, manifestation, and natural beauty—and why true radiance isn’t something you apply… it’s something you cultivate from within. Hannah shares her journey of stepping away from alcohol and how that single shift transformed not just her health, but her energy, confidence, and physical appearance in ways no external treatment ever could. Together, we dive into: How alcohol disconnects us from our natural magnetism The role of the nervous system (parasympathetic state) in manifestation Heart-centered meditation and creating “felt” realities The science behind visualization, memory work, and energetic alignment Why women have been conditioned to outsource their beauty—and how to reclaim it Simple practices like breathwork, facial massage, and intentional self-touch This episode is an invitation to move out of autopilot and into intentional, embodied living—where your radiance becomes a byproduct of alignment, not effort. If you’ve been craving a more soulful, empowered approach to beauty, sobriety, and manifestation… this conversation will meet you there.

15 Years Later I Finally Removed Them | My Explant Story — Part 2

For years I carried a quiet truth: the moment I got breast implants, I knew I had made a mistake. In this deeply personal episode, I share the second half of my breast implant journey — from living fifteen years with implants that never felt aligned, to finally deciding to undergo breast implant explant surgery. We talk about the emotional side of breast implant regret, the physical symptoms that made me start listening more closely to my body, and the unexpected role that intuition played in helping me find the right surgeon at the right time. This story isn't about judgment or fear around cosmetic surgery. It's about body awareness, healing, and learning to trust yourself again after years of ignoring that inner voice. If you are considering breast implants, thinking about removing them, or simply navigating your own relationship with body image and self-worth, I hope this conversation gives you something powerful: permission to pause, listen, and make decisions from a place of self-love. Because what is rooted in light will always blossom.

I Got Breast Implants at 20 — What I Couldn’t See Back Then (Part 1)

This is a story I kept to myself for sixteen years. At 20 years old, I made the decision to get breast implants—and almost immediately, I knew I had made a mistake. But this isn’t really a story about implants. It’s about the moment something shifted… standing in a dressing room, feeling the joy drain out of what should have been one of the happiest experiences of my life… and quietly deciding I wasn’t enough as I was. It’s about perfectionism. The kind that looks polished on the outside… but underneath is driven by pressure, comparison, and the need to fix something that was never actually broken. It’s about making a life-altering decision from that place—n and then living with it… silently… for years. In this first part, I’m taking you back to where it all started. The environment, the expectations, the subtle comments that landed deeper than they should have… and the version of me who didn’t yet have the tools to question any of it. Because when I look back now, I don’t feel judgment. I feel compassion. This story isn’t here to tell you what to do with your body… but to invite you to pause long enough to ask: Where is this decision really coming from? Part 2 is where everything begins to shift— where intuition re-enters, and the story finally comes full circle.

Learning to Hear Myself Again- An April Sober Recap on: Intuition, Emotional Presence & Quiet Clarity

In this deeply personal April sober recap, Carrie reflects on the quieter, more unexpected shifts that have surfaced over 130 days alcohol-free — from emotional presence and nervous system awareness to intuition, self-trust, and learning to truly listen to her body. What began as a “late” sobriety update evolves into a much deeper conversation about depression, vitamin deficiencies, cortisol concerns, intuitive knowing, psychic sensitivity, and the subtle difference between anxiety and clarity. Carrie shares two recent claircognizant experiences that left her questioning how much intuitive information we all may have access to when the noise of everyday life begins to quiet down — including the moment she instantly knew two women would walk into her studio before they ever crossed the street, and the strong inner certainty that her future niece was a girl weeks before the gender reveal. This episode is not about becoming perfect, endlessly happy, or spiritually enlightened overnight. It’s about becoming present enough to recognize when something feels off… and learning to respond to yourself with honesty, care, and trust instead of avoidance. Topics explored: Sobriety beyond the “pink cloud” Emotional presence & nervous system awareness Depression, burnout & physical health signals Vitamin D, B vitamin & cortisol conversations Intuition vs anxiety Claircognizance & energetic sensitivity Psychic gifts & reconnecting to self The quiet ways healing actually unfolds A cozy late-night style conversation for anyone navigating healing, self-trust, emotional overwhelm, spiritual curiosity, or the strange beauty of becoming more fully awake to your own life.

90 Days Sober: The Glow, The Intuition, & The Joy I Didn’t Expect

At 90 days alcohol-free, something deeper than I expected began to unfold. In this episode, I’m sharing a real-time reflection on what has shifted for me physically, emotionally, and spiritually during the first three months of sobriety. From unexpected changes in my skin and appearance — to a noticeable return of my intuition and sensitivity — to the quiet disappearance of anxiety and imposter syndrome… this journey has opened up more than I ever anticipated. But the most surprising shift? A deeper capacity to feel and hold joy in everyday moments — in a way that feels grounding, emotional, and fully present. This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about softening back into who you’ve always been… when the noise is gone. If you’re sober curious, in your early days, or simply wondering what’s possible on the other side of alcohol — this conversation is for you.

I Left the High School Group Chat (And What It Taught Me About Outgrowing Relationships)

Sometimes growth doesn’t look like expansion — sometimes it looks like quietly exiting a room. In this reflective episode, Carrie shares the surprisingly meaningful moment she left a long-standing high school group chat and the deeper realization it sparked about adult friendships, nostalgia, and misalignment. What started as a simple text thread became a mirror for something many of us experience but rarely talk about: the slow noticing that certain spaces no longer support the person we’re becoming. This episode explores the emotional complexity of outgrowing relationships that once felt foundational, the difference between history and alignment, and why protecting your energy sometimes means releasing dynamics without drama or explanation. There’s no villain in this story — just an honest conversation about growth, self-awareness, and the quiet courage it takes to choose environments where you don’t have to dim your light. If you’ve ever felt yourself editing your joy, shrinking your wins, or staying in a space out of loyalty to the past, this conversation might resonate. History does not equal alignment. Sometimes growth looks like expansion. Sometimes it looks like subtraction.

The Language of Numbers: Numerology, Angel Numbers & Divine Patterns with Dr. Felicia Bender

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Felicia Bender — The Practical Numerologist® — for a grounded and illuminating conversation about numerology, angel numbers, and the meaningful patterns that often show up in our lives. Dr. Bender describes numerology as “the language of the universe”—a symbolic system that can help us notice patterns, deepen self-awareness, and better understand the energetic themes moving through our lives. In this episode we talk about numerology, angel numbers, life path numbers, and how repeating number patterns may hold symbolic meaning and guidance in everyday life. Together we explore how numbers can act as invitations to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our own intuition rather than rigid predictions about the future. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Bender emphasizes discernment, personal resonance, and empowerment, reminding us that while numbers may hold universal meanings, their deepest significance is always filtered through our own lived experience and inner knowing. In this episode we explore: • What numerology is and how it can be used as a tool for personal insight • Life Path Numbers and what they reveal about your strengths and soul themes • Why recurring number patterns — often called angel numbers — catch our attention • The symbolic meaning behind common number sequences • A live example as Dr. Bender shares my own Life Path Number • Personal stories of numbers appearing at meaningful moments • Why intuition and discernment matter more than rigid interpretation This episode is for the curious — anyone who notices patterns, feels meaning in the subtle, and wants a grounded way to explore the unseen without bypassing their own inner wisdom. About Dr. Felicia Bender Felicia Bender, PhD — The Practical Numerologist® uses numerology to help people understand their life path, purpose, and personal timing in ways that are empowering, practical, and actionable.
