Conversations with Carroll

Thank You, Father! 💙🙏🕊️

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 💙

Thank You, Father! 💙🙏🕊️

Today, I sit down with the incredible Nicholas Byrd - Project Manager with CAM Construction in Houston, Texas - for a conversation that’s as inspiring as it is practical!

From a love of building things as a kid to discovering the perfect balance between construction and meaningful relationships, Nick shares his journey into the world of residential construction and how he’s made a name for himself in high-end, custom home renovations.

We dive into:

💙 What it really means to slow down in a fast-paced world

💙 The power of communication

💙  Why building strong client relationships is JUST as important as building the home itself

Nicholas opens up about the challenges, surprises, and problem-solving moments that come with construction, as well as the personal side of the work - welcoming families into their homes, celebrating milestones, and making every project a reflection of the client’s vision.

Whether you’re curious about construction, leadership, or how intentionality can elevate any career, this conversation is full of practical insights, thoughtful reflections, and inspiring stories about embracing opportunity, relationships, and the unexpected turns that shape our paths!

Tune in, and get ready to be inspired to slow down, connect deeply, and build something that lasts - both in your work and 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💙

Welcome back! 

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.

We explore the world of professional boxing - a WHOLE different game. 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.

Ginny’s story is truly one about strength on every level.. Whether you’re chasing a dream, facing setbacks, or figuring out your next step, Ginny’s journey is a reminder that with perseverance, faith, and grit, you can keep moving forward.

Tune in and be INSPIRED!

Thank You, Father!

Today I’m joined by Olympic boxer and team captain Ginny Fuchs for an honest and powerful conversation about resilience, faith, identity, and the inner strength that carries us through life’s hardest seasons. Jenny shares her extraordinary journey from a young athlete navigating personal struggles to standing on the world stage as a leader, competitor, and woman ROOTED in purpose.

We talk about discipline, devotion, setbacks, perseverance, mental health, healing, and the moments that invite SURRENDER and deeper trust. Ginny opens her heart about living with anxiety and OCD, the COURAGE it takes to ask for support, and the spiritual grounding that continues to guide her forward.

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💙

You matter. Your story matters.

We are shaped by stories - the ones we’re born into, the ones we inherit, and the ones we slowly discover are ours to tell. In this panel conversation on Conversations with Carroll, we explore the healing, connective, and transformative power of storytelling.

I’m joined by three extraordinary women - Amy, Nancy, and Barbara - each of whom lives at the intersection of listening, truth, and courage. From conducting thousands of intimate interviews with cultural icons to helping everyday people reclaim their voices, these women remind us that stories don’t just inform us… they change us.

Together, we explore:

💙 Why storytelling is deeply human - and how it builds empathy over judgment

💙 How sharing our stories helps us feel less alone and more understood

💙 The healing that happens when we name what’s been unspoken

💙 Why listening is just as powerful as telling

💙 How vulnerability opens the door for connection, compassion, and courage

💙 The ripple effect that occurs when one person chooses to speak their truth

What part of your story have you minimized or silenced?

Who might find hope if you shared just a little more honestly?Where might healing begin if you allowed yourself to listen - without rushing to fix?

Your story matters. Your voice matters. And when we choose to listen - truly listen - we make room for grace, understanding, and love to move.

Love and prayers,

Carroll 💙

What if getting it right for one child could change everything?

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with the remarkable Karen Mayer Cunningham - advocate, educator, truth-teller, and fierce champion for children with disabilities and the families who love them.

Karen doesn’t share this work from theory - she lives it. From the moment her son was diagnosed with autism, her life took an unexpected turn that led her straight into the heart of special education advocacy. What began in pain became a calling. What felt overwhelming became purpose. And what was once misunderstood became a mission rooted in justice, compassion, and hope.

This conversation is honest, heartfelt, and filled with truth you may not realize you need - whether you’re a parent, educator, advocate, or simply someone who cares deeply about children and their future.

In this episode, we reflect on:

💙 Why special education is not just policy - it’s a civil right

💙 How advocating for a child can feel lonely, uncomfortable, and absolutely necessary

💙 The power of assuming competency instead of focusing on deficits

💙 Why what we say over children shapes who they believe they can become

💙 How curiosity, compassion, and proper tools can unlock extraordinary potential

💙 What it really means to “get it right for the child” - and how that benefits everyone

This episode is an invitation:

🕊️ To slow down.

🕊️ To look again.

🕊️ To speak promise instead of problems.

🕊️ To choose advocacy.

🕊️ To choose hope.

🕊️ To choose courage — even when it’s uncomfortable.

If you’ve ever wondered how to show up better for a child…

If you’ve ever felt unsure, overwhelmed, or under-equipped...

If you believe every child deserves to be seen, valued, and supported…

This conversation is for YOU 💙

Love and prayers,

Carroll 💙
