Conversations with Carroll

What if one moment of kindness could change the direction of a life? 

This week, I have the joy of sitting down with author and bullying prevention educator Dali Rivera for a conversation that touched my heart in the most beautiful way. 

Together, we explore the hidden impact of bullying, the incredible power our words carry, and the role each of us plays in creating spaces where every person feels seen, valued, and deeply loved. Dali shares her inspiring journey from overcoming childhood adversity to becoming a passionate advocate for children and families, offering wisdom that brings hope, practical guidance, and a fresh perspective for parents, educators, leaders, and anyone who desires to leave the world a little brighter than they found it.

We are FAR more similar than we are different.

My hope is that this conversation encourages you to lift one another up, and see every interaction through the eyes of grace and compassion.

YOU are a precious child of God. You matter. Your story matters. God loves you. 

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙

Have you ever caught yourself wondering, Am I doing enough? Am I getting this right? Whether you're a parent, building a career, chasing a dream, or simply trying to become the best version of yourself, I think we've ALL asked those questions…

In this episode, I have the joy of sitting down with author, speaker, positive psychology coach and wellbeing consultant, Luca Firanescu Shaked, whose book, 99 Mistakes I Made as a Mom (And What I Wish I Knew), is a beautiful reminder that perfection was never the goal. 

Together, we laugh, reflect, and have an honest conversation about motherhood, self-care, perfectionism, and the lessons that only come through living life. We also dive into the power of community, why asking for help is actually a strength, and how even our biggest mistakes can become the stepping stones that shape who we're meant to be.

One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is that happiness is something we CREATE, one choice, one act of kindness, and one moment of grace at a time.

I hope this episode reminds you to LET GO of the pressure to have it all figured out, to embrace your beautifully imperfect journey, and to remember that every lesson you learn is preparing you for something even greater.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙

What happens when a 12-year-old decides he wants to become an entrepreneur - and never gives up on that dream?

Today, I have the gift of sitting down with Ocean Baker - designer, artist, and entrepreneur - alongside his incredible mother, Deb Drummond, to talk about what it takes to turn passion into PURPOSE. 💙

From sketching artwork as a young boy to building a fashion brand that's making an impact in the worlds of art, entertainment, and entrepreneurship, Ocean shares the lessons he's learned about patience, perseverance, and trusting the process. Together, we explore the power of stepping outside your comfort zone, embracing the journey, and remaining faithful to a vision even when the path isn't always clear 🙏

In this episode, we'll discover:

💙 Why success is built one step, one lesson, and one act of courage at a time

💙 How creativity can become a powerful tool for connection, healing, and impact

💙 The importance of mentorship, support, and believing in your vision

💙 What it means to stay faithful to your calling, even when growth feels slow

Audience, if you've ever had a dream stirring in your heart, this conversation is for you. 

Trust the process. Keep showing up. And remember - God often does His greatest work through our willingness to SURRENDER... and BEGIN.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙

What if confidence isn't a personality trait, but a strategy?

In this episode, I'm joined by business strategist, best selling author, and confidence coach Julie DeLucca-Collins for a conversation about confidence, courage, and the power of taking imperfect action.

Julie shares her journey from educator and corporate executive to entrepreneur, and together we explore why so many women struggle to OWN their voice, ask for what they need, and step FULLY into their God-given gifts.

We talk about overcoming fear of rejection, letting go of perfectionism, building confidence through small daily habits, and why sometimes the greatest act of SURRENDER is simply taking the next step before you feel ready.

If you've ever questioned your abilities, hesitated to take the next step, or felt called to something greater but weren't sure how to get there, this episode is a reminder that confidence is not about having it all figured out - it's about being WILLING to begin.

Trust yourself. Take the next right step.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙
