Some conversations invite us to slow down, listen deeply, and hold space for life’s most meaningful lessons. In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Mary Beth Lee, a clinical social worker, advocate, and compassionate guide for individuals and families navigating grief, trauma, and life’s unexpected turns.

Mary Beth shares how personal experiences shaped her path toward helping others through some of life’s most difficult seasons. With remarkable wisdom, empathy, and grace, she speaks about resilience, the importance of community, and how love and connection can help carry us through even the hardest chapters of life.

Together, we talk about honoring our stories, supporting one another through loss, and finding meaning and hope—even when the path forward isn’t clear.

This is a conversation about COMPASSION, COURAGE, and the quiet strength that reminds us we are never meant to walk through life’s challenges alone.

Love and prayers,

Carroll 💙

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Larry and Gary Lane — actors, film directors, screen writers, producers, entrepreneurs, and storytellers - for a conversation that left me laughing, learning, and deeply moved.

You may know them as The Lane Brothers, the creative force behind the powerful documentary Still Working 9 to 5 - a film that honors the legacy of the iconic movie 9 to 5 while uncovering the real-life movement that sparked change for women in the workplace. What began as a love letter to a beloved film turned into a six-year journey of storytelling, courage, activism, and hope.

Together, we talk about the heart behind the documentary, the incredible women who shaped it - including Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and so many others - and why this story still matters more than ever. We explore the power of laughter as a gateway to learning, the role men play in advocating for equality, and how curiosity can replace fear when we allow ourselves to TRULY LISTEN.

This conversation is for anyone who:

🕊️ Loves stories that blend heart, humor, and history.

🕊️ Wants to better understand the women’s movement and workplace equality.

🕊️ Believes in using creativity as a force for good.

🕊️ Enjoys a behind-the-scenes look at filmmaking, entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven work.

Most of all, this episode is an invitation - to LEARN, REFLECT, CELEBRATE progress, and to recognize that there is still beautiful work left to do. Larry and Gary remind us that storytelling can change hearts, spark movements, and bring people together in ways nothing else can.

This one is special, so settle in - I know you’ll walk away inspired.

Love and prayers,

Carroll 💙

Today, I sit down with the incredible Rechelle Conde-Nau for a moving conversation about SURRENDER, creativity, healing, and tracing the hand of God through every chapter of our lives.

Rechelle shares her powerful story of walking through unimaginable loss and how SURRENDER, trust, and unwavering faith allowed her to see God’s presence woven through every moment. We talk about the promise of Romans 8:28, and the BEAUTY of tracing God’s hand through our stories.

Together, we explore creativity as a spiritual act, the COURAGE it takes to step past fear, perfectionism, and self-doubt, and how each of us is uniquely gifted to create, encourage, and serve. Rechelle reminds us that our gifts are not accidental, our stories are sacred, and our lives are meant to reflect God’s love in ways only we can.

If you’re:

🕊️ Walking through grief, uncertainty, self-doubt, fear, or transition

🕊️ Longing to feel seen, strengthened, and reminded of God’s closeness

…then this episode is for you. It offers space to breathe, reflect, SURRENDER, and trust that even when we only see the tangled threads, God is weaving something beautiful.

May this conversation invite you to soften, to RELEASE control, to EMBRACE your gifts, and to TRUST the unfolding of God’s perfect design in your life.

Love and prayers,

Carroll 💙

Have you ever felt like you and a friend are no longer in the same season of life—but you don’t want to hurt them, either? I’m answering a listener’s question about exactly that: how to navigate outgrowing a friendship.

I share how it’s okay to gently let relationships evolve, how to move forward lovingly and kindly, and why practicing the golden rule - treating others as you hope to be treated - can GUIDE you in these moments. I also talk about staying present, leaning into God’s guidance, and TRUSTING that growth is a beautiful, necessary part of life.

Outgrowing someone isn’t rejection - it’s part of becoming the person God is calling you to be, and it can be done with grace, kindness, and most importantly, love.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙

Today I continue my conversation with Ginny, and WOW - her story is nothing short of extraordinary. We dive deep into the challenges and triumphs of her Olympic journey, from training in a closed-down Macy’s during COVID to competing in an empty arena in Tokyo. Ginny shares what it was like to navigate the postponed Olympics, fight against the odds, and still come out on top.

Ginny talks about breaking barriers as a female boxer, the challenges of age bias, and the uphill battle for fair pay and recognition. She opens up about the physical toll, the mental toughness required, and the creativity needed to stay in the fight, from personal training clients to navigating the pro fight circuit.

Through it all, Ginny’s story is about perseverance, faith, and refusing to give up. From setbacks and injuries to the uncertainty of getting fights, SHE KEEPS GOING - showing us that SUCCESS is all about resilience, courage, and ASKING FOR HELP when you need it.

Together, we explore what it means to RISE AGAIN, to trust, and to EMBRACE every chapter as sacred. 

If life ever feels heavy, overwhelming, or uncertain, this conversation offers comfort, clarity, and hope. Ginny’s story reflects the truth that healing, courage, and purpose live within each of us, waiting to be activated through TRUST, GRACE, and SURRENDER.

Being a daughter, sister, or family connector is a gift - and in this episode, we celebrate exactly that! 

I sit down with Dr. Allison Alford, communication expert, researcher, and author, to dive into “daughtering”: the thoughtful, intentional ways we nurture our families, strengthen bonds, and create connection in everyday life.

From organizing family moments, sending a kind note, or simply checking in to share love and attention, every act matters. Allison’s research reveals the beauty and significance of these gestures, and the joy that comes from showing up fully, with care, love, and intentionality.

We talk about EMBRACING your role, setting healthy boundaries, sharing love and attention, and finding fulfillment in the small, meaningful ways you make a difference. 

Whether you’re a daughter, son, or simply someone who cherishes your loved ones, this conversation will inspire you to notice, celebrate, and amplify the IMPACT of your care.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙

I’m so excited to share this conversation with Bonnie Harris, a woman whose story is full of courage, faith, and possibility. From her remarkable healing journey to building a thriving business, Bonnie shows what happens when we STEP FULLY into the gifts God has placed within us, trust the process, and show up every day with intention and purpose.

In this episode, we talk about:

💙Embracing your success and speaking it into existence

💙Being your own cheerleader and advocate in every area of life

💙Taking consistent steps to grow your gifts and make a positive impact

💙How to step into opportunities with confidence, even when it’s new territory

💙Living each day with gratitude, focus, and purpose

Bonnie’s story reminds me - and I know it will remind you - that God equips us with everything we need to LIVE FULLY, love DEEPLY, and lead COURAGEOUSLY. Every moment holds the opportunity to grow, to shine, and to inspire others with the life you are creating.

I can’t wait for you to listen, take away practical steps for your own journey, and be encouraged to embrace every gift and opportunity waiting for you today.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙

What if the hardest seasons of relationship - conflict, disconnection, even divorce - could become places of clarity, healing, and growth?

In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist, transformational coach, and communication expert Liz Goll Lerner, author of Divorce Well and Thrive. Together, we explore what it really means to show up with intention - first for ourselves, and then for the people we love.

This episode is all about how we communicate, how we break unhealthy cycles, and how choosing AWARENESS over REACTION can change everything - from everyday arguments to life-altering decisions. Liz shares powerful insights from her personal and professional journey, including how vision, presence, and conscious communication can transform families, relationships, and even the way we move through the world.

You’ll hear practical wisdom on:

💙 How to pause, reflect, and read yourself before reacting

💙 Why communication breakdowns are often at the heart of conflict

💙 What it means to “break the cycle” instead of repeating old patterns

💙 How caring for yourself is actually a gift to everyone around you

💙 And how faith, intention, and presence can guide us toward peace - even in uncertainty

Whether you’re navigating a relationship, healing from one, or simply wanting to live and love more intentionally, this conversation will invite you to breathe, reflect, and consider a new way forward.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙
