For once, Carrie isn’t the one asking the questions—she’s answering them.

Joined by her best friend and longtime collaborator Stacey Beeman, Carrie opens up about the last two years: unexpected heartbreak, navigating divorce after 23 years, protecting her children, and rebuilding a life she never saw coming.

This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about grief, resilience, identity, and what it actually looks like to start over in midlife.

Because sometimes… reinvention isn’t a choice. It’s survival. And then—if you’re lucky—it becomes your power.

Key Takeaways

  • You don’t always feel grief right away—sometimes it hits later, harder
  • Healing isn’t linear—you can be numb one year and furious the next
  • You can’t control what someone else does—only how you respond
  • Community isn’t optional—it’s survival
  • Reinvention doesn’t erase who you were—it evolves you

Midlife isn’t the end of the story—it’s where you finally get to choose yourself
