On this episode of Lip Service & Lashes, I’m sitting down with my friend Carrie Hunter — 25+ years climbing ladders in construction, tech, and healthcare — who walked away from corporate comfort to build something way more meaningful: It’s Not That Serious, a global women’s empowerment and storytelling movement.

We’re talking about what it really feels like to leave the “safe” path. The identity unraveling. The ego hits. The freedom. The fire. The moments you question everything… and build anyway.

Carrie gets honest about:

Walking away from titles and security

Building community instead of chasing status

Why vulnerability is a leadership superpower (not a weakness)

And how women actually win when we stop competing and start connecting

This isn’t fluffy empowerment. This is real talk about mentorship, courage, reinvention, and choosing joy on purpose — even when it’s uncomfortable.

If you’ve ever felt the nudge to do something bigger…If you’re tired of pretending you have it all figured out…If you want women in your corner who clap when you win…Press play!
