"What would happen if you finally released that beach ball you've been holding underwater for decades?"
Carrie's journey of liberation began at age 54 when she finally acknowledged a profound truth: she had been living someone else's life. After decades in corporate America, drinking a bottle of wine nightly to numb her unhappiness, watching her marriage crumble, and seeing her children struggle with serious health challenges, she made the terrifying decision to walk away from it all—including a business where she had invested her entire life savings.
This conversation delves deep into what happens when we finally give ourselves permission to be who we truly are. Carrie shares the moment she realized her 16-year-old self's artistic dreams had been crushed by well-meaning but limiting parental advice, and how that single conversation shaped decades of her choices. Using the powerful metaphor of an "unlived life as a beach ball underwater," she explains how suppressed dreams eventually create unbearable pressure until we must choose: continue suffering or embrace authentic living.
For anyone feeling trapped in a life that doesn't reflect their true desires, this conversation offers both practical guidance and spiritual wisdom. Carrie's story proves it's never too late to reclaim your authentic self, and that when you finally say "yes" to your deepest calling, the universe begins conspiring to support your journey.
