In this week's interview episode, I am joined by my dearest friend-Carlie. Also  known as "Carlie Queen" for her impressive hip thrust records. Carlie shares insights into her journey of embracing sensitivity and overcoming body image issues, discussing her inspirations, childhood experiences, and the challenges she faced growing up. We talk about themes of family dynamics, mental health, self-acceptance, and the importance of a supportive community. Carlie also talks about her fitness programs and offers advice on how to stay motivated and connected with oneself. The episode highlights the importance of enjoying life's moments, riding the waves of controllable situations, and surrendering to the uncontrollable.HIGHLIGHTS00:16 Meet Carlie Petraitis: The Hip Thrust Queen00:51 Daily Life and Personal Stories03:00 Family Dynamics and Childhood Memories09:06 Struggles and Self-Discovery11:16 Body Image and Self-Acceptance18:09 Building a Stronger You18:30 The Be Big Movement19:59 Introducing Building Ass 2.020:53 Workout Routine Insights24:33 The All of the Above Podcast25:58 Navigating Life's Challenges29:01 Embracing Sensitivity and Self-Care31:23 The No Plan Plan33:37 Handling Life's Waves35:42 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsConnect with Carlie PetraitisInstagram:  @carliepetraitisJoin the "Building Ass 2.0" ProgramListen to "All of the Above" PodcastConnect with Breanna Danielle:Instagram: @iambreannadanielle @TheM3MethodWebsite: www.breannadanielle.coOther Resources: linktr.ee/BreannaDanielle
