Choosing to Rise — hosted by Dr. Carolyn Kennedy.
Welcome to the very first episode of a podcast about growth, faith, and transformation.
In this heartfelt premiere, Carolyn shares a formative story from her childhood — the moment a single letter grade planted the seed of perfectionism and shaped how she viewed her worth. What began as a desire to make her father proud evolved into a lifelong battle with fear, performance, and the quiet pressure to always be “enough.”
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear:
• The story behind the phrase “Foster girls don’t get Cs”
• How perfectionism quietly disguises itself as excellence
• The connection between fear, procrastination, and self-doubt
• Why rising begins with choosing to stand — even in the ashes
• How faith, not flawless effort, leads to freedom and healing
• A gentle but powerful reminder that God’s love isn’t earned — it’s already yours
You’ll also hear the meaning behind “One Good Hello” and walk away with a soul-centered invitation to rise imperfectly — just as you are.
