Becoming

Have you ever looked back at an earlier version of yourself and wished you had been kinder to the woman you were? Or found yourself frustrated with who you are today because you aren't the person you used to be? Life changes. Our bodies change, our priorities shift, and circumstances sometimes pull us away from the routines and practices that once helped us feel our best. Yet we often judge o...

What Are You Resisting That Is Keeping You Stuck? Sometimes the things we resist most are the very things worth looking at a little more closely. In this episode of Becoming, Carrie explores four moments in her own life when her immediate response was, “No. Absolutely not. That’s not me.” Each time, she resisted the question, wrestled with it, and eventually discovered something she couldn't...

When you're building a life you love, it can be surprisingly difficult to know when it's time to stop. This week, I'm exploring what happens when we give ourselves permission to rest—not because we've failed or run out of motivation, but because rest is part of the process. I'll share what I've been learning through my own experience this week, what my clients have ta...

How do you know when you're ready for change? Sometimes we know something in our lives needs to shift long before we know what we're going to do about it. We notice something isn't quite right. We feel stuck, restless, or unsettled. We become aware of patterns that no longer fit—and then we wonder: Am I supposed to do something about this now? In this episode, Carrie returns to a qu...

We spend so much of our lives somewhere other than where we actually are—thinking about what happened, planning what comes next, checking our phones, preparing what we're going to say, or simply moving through the day on autopilot. But what happens when we actually stop and pay attention? This week's conversation took an unexpected turn during one of my workshops when a simple question c...

What Is It Time to Let Go Of? This week, I’m doing something a little different. Instead of simply talking about an idea or sharing something I’ve been thinking about, I’m inviting you to do a little Becoming work with me. The question we’re exploring is simple: What is it time to let go of? In this episode, I’ll walk you through a reflection exercise you can actually do alongside me. You’ll have...

Are You Ready to Get Back to Your Routine? As summer gives way to fall, many of us feel ready to settle back into familiar routines. But what if a change of season isn't always about going back to the way things were? What if we've changed, too? In this episode of The Becoming Podcast , we explore the seasons of our lives—how we recognize when something is shifting, why we sometimes resi...

Do You Feel Seen? What could happen when you see yourself—and allow yourself to be seen? In this episode of Becoming , I sit down with Sean McNally for a conversation I couldn't fully prepare for. Sean's story includes addiction, recovery, identity, self-worth, and the difficult work of rebuilding a life—but ultimately, this is a story about learning to see yourself as a person of value—...

What happens when you give yourself four weeks to slow down, pay attention, and begin asking better questions? In this episode, you'll hear directly from the people who went through Foundations Four—their goals, their struggles, the weeks when life got messy, the things they discovered about themselves, and what began to change by the end. Because sometimes change isn't a dramatic transf...

Can six months change your life? It's a question most of us want to answer with "yes." But we also wonder something else... What does it actually take to make that answer true? Six months ago, Amanda joined me on the Becoming Podcast just as she was beginning her journey. She had recently completed Foundations Four and was taking her first steps into creating lasting change. This we...

Every one of us has a story. Some stories are filled with setbacks. Others are filled with triumphs. Most are a little bit of both. But every story has the power to remind us that we aren't walking this journey alone. In this episode, I'm joined by Johnnie Flynn and Reuben Barkley of Body by Johnnie and R&J Fitness for a conversation that goes far beyond the gym. We talk about the ro...

It's a question we all ask ourselves at some point. Maybe you're wondering who you are now after a season of change. Maybe you know something needs to shift, but you're not sure where to begin. Or maybe you're simply looking for a community of people who are asking the same kinds of questions. In this episode, Carrie reflects on a week that challenged her own self-trust, shares...

Do You Trust Yourself? What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances... but the relationship you have with yourself? In this special episode of The Becoming Podcast , I'm taking you inside the very first Becoming Circle —a small gathering around my kitchen table where three women came together to answer one simple but powerful question: Do...

We've all heard the phrase, "Listen to your body." But what does that really mean? This week on Becoming , Carrie shares a beautiful moment from a recent coaching and meditation group where everyone realized they weren't simply discussing personal growth anymore—they were talking about their lives. The conversations about self-confidence, relationships, stress, boundaries, and...

The mirror can show you your reflection—but it can never tell your story. Every morning, most of us stand in front of a mirror without giving it much thought. Within seconds, a familiar story begins to play. We notice the wrinkles, the gray hair, the number on the scale, or the clothes that fit a little differently than they used to. But what if the mirror isn't really the problem? In this so...

Who am I now? It's a question many of us quietly ask when life changes. When children leave home, a loved one passes away, retirement begins, or a role we've carried for years comes to an end, it's easy to wonder where our identity fits in this new season. In this deeply personal conversation, I'm joined by my mom as we reflect on caregiving, loss, resilience, and the quiet way...

Every season of life asks something different of us. Some seasons invite us to slow down. Others ask us to let go, begin again, or find the courage to step into something new. The challenge is that we often don't recognize the season we're in until we pause long enough to reflect. In this episode of The Becoming Podcast, Carrie shares why this conversation marks the true beginning of the...

This wasn’t the episode I planned to start with—but it’s the one that needed to be shared. In this first episode of the Becoming Podcast , I sit down with Amanda as she reflects on her experience completing four weeks of the Foundations Four program. What unfolds is not a polished success story, but an honest and deeply human conversation about what it feels like to begin reconnecting with yoursel...
