Conversations with Carroll

Thank You, Father! 💙🙏🕊️

I’m joined by the radiant and inspiring Maddie Tufts - entrepreneur, founder of Steer, and a beautiful example of what’s possible when curiosity, courage, and purpose come together. 

Maddie has carried an entrepreneurial spirit since the day I met her, and in this episode, she shares how Steer is reshaping the way we think about affiliate marketing, influence, and everyday experiences. From fitness classes and travel to wellness and live events, Maddie invites us to see how what we already love and share can become a meaningful, values-aligned way to support ourselves and others.

This conversation is for anyone navigating business, creativity, social media, or simply wondering how to use the tools of today with intention and integrity. 

We reflect on influence at every stage, the beauty of real-life connection in a digital world, and how technology - including AI - can be used as a force for good when guided by responsibility and heart. 

I hope this conversation encourages you to stay CURIOUS, stay GROUNDED, and trust that what you have to offer TRULY MATTERS.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙

Thank you Father!

In today’s heartfelt and joy-filled conversation, I sit down with someone incredibly special to me - my nephew Keith, a gifted young filmmaker whose journey is already inspiring so many.

Fresh out of college and stepping boldly into the world of film, television, and indie production, Keith brings a blend of creativity, discipline, faith, and pure passion that reminds all of us what’s possible when we follow the path God places on our hearts.

We talk about everything from the early sparks of storytelling to the realities of building a career in entertainment - creating your own team, nurturing lifelong creative partnerships, and staying grounded in faith while navigating an ever-evolving industry. Keith shares how he’s developing his voice as an actor, writer, and director, the beauty of the indie film world, and the powerful role alignment plays in every meaningful collaboration.

This episode is your reminder that:

✨ Creativity is a calling.

✨ Faith opens doors you couldn’t script if you tried.

✨ Your people - your aligned people - walk with you for years to come.

✨ God prepares you in every season, even the ones that feel unseen.

Lean in.

Open your heart.

Let this inspire your next brave step.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙

In this conversation, I sit down with her friend and visionary founder Susan Taaffe - the heart and mind behind Skanties, the anti‑shapewear movement that is reshaping not just underwear, but how women relate to their bodies, their comfort, and their own innate worth.

From Brisbane to Laguna Beach, from engineer to fashion innovator, and from young mother to global founder, Susan’s story is a testament to what becomes possible when you follow the call on your life - even when the path feels uncertain.

Together, we explore:

✨ The birth of Scanties - how a simple desire for comfort and breathability evolved into a movement of softness, self-worth, and emotional freedom.

✨ Radical comfort - why feeling at ease in your own skin (and your clothing) changes how you show up in the world.

✨ Rising through hardship - the unexpected divorce, the financial storms, the late-night tears, and the “Jenga block” approach that helped Susan build a business piece by piece.

✨ Creating with purpose - why service, joy, and alignment fuel every bold step forward.

✨ Removing the emotional shapewear - the outdated beliefs we were taught to shrink into, and how releasing them uncovers our natural shape - physically, emotionally, spiritually.

✨ Motherhood & legacy - how Susan’s three children witnessed her resilience and learned firsthand what it means to move through challenges with grace, joy, and courage.

Take a deep breath. Let this conversation encourage you, soften you, and call you back to the beauty of being exactly who God created you to be.

Love and prayers,

Carroll 💙

In this beautiful conversation, I sit down with Melissa Heathers, author of 'dear EGO, dear HEART', to explore how we can move from head to heart, from striving to SURRENDER, and from self-doubt to divine trust.

Melissa opens up about her journey of writing what she calls a “love letter from God” - one that invites us to quiet the ego’s noise and listen for the truth of who we really are. Together, we talk about awareness, accountability, and the grace that meets us right in the middle of our mess.

If you’ve ever wrestled with your own thoughts, questioned your purpose, or longed to reconnect with the still, small voice within - this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

Tune in and be reminded:

✨ You can’t miss what’s meant for you.

✨ God’s timing is always perfect.

✨ And peace begins when you stop fighting yourself.

Love and prayers,

Carroll 💙

Thank You, Father! 🙏

In this episode of Conversations with Carroll, I sit down with the incredible Cathy Holt - author, speaker, and lifelong advocate for women’s leadership - for a powerful talk about courage, confidence, and saying “yes” when God opens the door.

Cathy shares her inspiring journey of breaking barriers, leading with purpose, and helping women step boldly into their God-given potential. From her early days fighting for women’s rights to her new television show Holt Talks the Lead, Cathy reminds us that leadership is all about heart, humility, and the courage to keep showing up.

We talk about what it means to lead with faith instead of fear, how to stay teachable while standing strong in truth, and why confidence is built in the doing, not the waiting.

So take a breath, grab your coffee, and let this conversation remind you:

 ✨ You are a precious child of God.  

 ✨ You matter.

 ✨ Your story matters.

 ✨ And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do - is say yes.

Love and prayers,

Carroll💙

In this episode of Dear Carroll, I hear from a listener who shared something so many of us can relate to: that feeling of looking back on the year and replaying everything we didn’t get done - and then slipping into shame.Shame spirals are REAL. We all need the tools and practice to get OUT of them - to pause, breathe, and surrender it all back to God.In this heartfelt conversation, I share how we can release regret, give ourselves grace, and remember that even now - no matter where we’ve been or how we’ve spent our time - God invites us to return to Him. It’s never too late to start fresh.We talk about the power of being present, forgiving ourselves, and practicing surrender - over and over again - as an act of faith. So if you’ve been hard on yourself for what you haven’t done this year, take a deep breath, listen in, and let’s begin again… together 💙🙏🕊️Love and Prayers,Carroll 💙💌 Have a question you’d like Carroll’s help with?

What if success didn’t have to cost you your health, your peace, or the moments that matter most? 

In this episode, I sit down with Amy Kemp, an Owner, CEO and strategic business leader with a refreshingly honest approach to growth, boundaries, and purpose. Amy’s mission is clear: to help us DO LESS, BE MORE, and build lives and businesses that are both impactful and deeply fulfilling.

Together, we talk about the courage it takes to set boundaries—not just with others, but with our own ambitions. Amy shares how real success is found when we protect what we value most, create space for joy, and live in full alignment with our God-given purpose. 

If you’ve ever felt pulled between building your dreams and honoring your life, this conversation will remind you that you CAN CHOOSE BOTH—and that integrity, peace, and presence are worth more than anything you leave behind.

Love and prayers,

Carroll 💙
