The Moment Your Life Falls Apart Is the Moment It Begins Or Love Intelligence: How to Fall Back in Love with Yourself

🎙️ Carrie On! What if the moment your life cracked you open… was actually the beginning of becoming yourself? In this deeply honest episode of Carrie On!, Carrie sits down with Natasha McCrea to talk about love intelligence, fear, divorce, self-worth, reinvention, and what it really means to stop abandoning yourself. From surviving painful relationships and becoming a self-described “love addict,” to creating a one-woman show, stepping onto a pageant stage in midlife, and helping women reconnect to themselves — Natasha shares the raw truth behind standing in your power. This episode is for every woman who has ever: ✨ Felt disconnected from herself ✨ Stayed too long in spaces that no longer fit ✨ Struggled to receive love or help ✨ Wondered if it’s “too late” to reinvent herself ✨ Needed permission to choose herself first Because maybe this isn’t midlife. Maybe this is your queen era. 🔥 FIRE POINTS “Fear is the opposite of love.” “You don’t give from your cup. You give from the overflow.” “Most women don’t change when they’re inspired. They change when they’re cracked wide open.” “Disconnection is a trap.” “You were born knowing how to receive love.” “We all have galaxies of magnificence.” “Standing in your power means choosing yourself daily.” “You don’t have to earn love.” 💻 CONNECT WITH NATASHA MCCREA 🌐 Website: Natasha McCrea Official Website 📸 Instagram: @natashamccrea 🎙️ ABOUT CARRIE ON!

Permission to Speak: Why Women Silence Themselves (And How to Take Your Voice Back)

Carrie On! What if the way you speak… is actually shaping the power you hold? In this episode of Carrie On!, I sit down with voice and leadership expert Samara Bay to unpack the truth about power, voice, and why so many women still feel invisible—even when they have something important to say. From Hollywood dialect coaching to coaching women running for office, Samara shares how voice bias, internalized stories, and fear-based conditioning keep us small—and how to break free. This conversation is for every woman who has: Held back in a meeting Second-guessed her voice Felt “too much” or “not enough” Or wondered… who gets to hold the mic? Spoiler: It’s you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your voice is not the problem—the rules you were taught about your voice are. “Power” has been conditioned to sound one way—and it’s time to rewrite that. The shift isn’t just confidence… it’s moving from fear to love when you speak. Your story isn’t self-indulgent—it’s a gift to others. Public speaking isn’t just a skill—it’s an embodied experience. If this episode hit you—drop a ❤️ in the comments and tell us: 👉 Where are you still holding back your voice? And if you’re ready to stop shrinking: ✔️ Subscribe ✔️ Share with a friend ✔️ Start speaking—messy, bold, and fully YOU 🔗 CONNECT Follow Samara Bay for more on voice, leadership, and rewriting the rules of power. 🌐 Website: www.permissioninc.co 📚 Book: Permission to Speak 📸 Instagram: @samarabay Follow Carrie: 🌐 Website: carrie-murray.com 📺 YouTube: @carrie_murray 📸 Instagram: @carriemurray
