Conversations with Carroll

There comes a moment when what once “worked” no longer feels right - and you know something has to shift.In this meaningful conversation, I’m joined by Kadine Cooper - executive coach, facilitator, speaker, and someone who is deeply committed to helping leaders realign with who they truly are.Kadine shares her journey from a 20-year career in HR to stepping out on her own, following that quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) inner knowing that her values were no longer aligned with the environment she was in. What followed was a path rooted in growth, courage, and a deep desire to help others lead from a place of clarity and purpose.We talk about what it really means to lead yourself first - because leadership doesn’t begin with a title, it begins with awareness.Kadine introduces her “Five F’s” - Faith, Family, Fun, Freedom, and Flexibility - and how grounding yourself in your values creates not only stronger leadership, but more sustainable and human-centered workplaces.In this episode, we explore:The difference between reactive leadership and intentional leadershipHow misalignment quietly impacts performance, culture, and well-beingSURRENDERING control and learning to trust your teamThe importance of self-awareness and honest reflectionCreating space for others to grow, contribute, and leadAnd how to recognize the early signs before a team - or a leader - burns outIf you’ve ever felt stuck, stretched too thin, or disconnected from your purpose - this conversation will meet you right where you are.Love and prayers,Carroll💙🌍 Stay connected with me!▪️ Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT ▪️Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍 Connect with Kadine Cooper!▪️Website: https://kadinecooper.ca/ ▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/careercoach_k/  ▪️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kadine.cooper ▪️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kadinecooper/

Thank You, Father!I’m joined by Isabel Chiara - author and life actualization coach, and someone who has completely reimagined what it means to NOURISH ourselves, far beyond food.Isabel’s journey began in the fast-paced, emotionally charged world of the restaurant industry, where she spent years taking care of everyone else - while slowly losing connection with herself. Like so many of us, she found herself caught in patterns of giving, doing, and coping… without ever truly receiving the nourishment she needed.That realization became the turning point.Through her books - including BOD Behavior, Eat Your Words, and her newest release Nourish: Beyond Food, Feeding the Path of Personal Power and Joy - Isabel invites us into a new way of living. One where food, emotions, relationships, and experiences are all part of a deeper conversation with ourselves.In this episode, we explore:The difference between feeding and truly nourishing yourselfHow emotional patterns and daily stress show up in our relationship with foodWhy cravings are powerful indicators - not weaknessesReleasing “good vs. bad” thinking around food and behaviorHow past experiences shape our present habits (and how to shift them)Creating a life that feels nourishing - before you even step into itOne of the most beautiful takeaways from this conversation is simple, yet powerful:You can choose to make EVERY experience nourishing.This episode is an invitation to soften, to get curious, and to begin listening to what your body - and your life - has been trying to tell you all along.As you move through your day, consider this:What would shift if you decided that whatever comes next… is here to nourish you?Love and prayers,Carroll💙🌍 Stay connected with me!▪️ Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT ▪️Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍 Connect with Isabel Chiara▪️Website: https://isabel-chiara.com/▪️Book LInks: https://isabel-chiara.com/books/ ▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourish_isabelchiara/ ▪️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isabel.chiari.50 ▪️Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjXEvcQLvA0ZHhJDMzrUcY2ddZNN4HPFQ 

Thank You, Father! 💙🙏🕊️In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Nelva Lee - a woman of deep conviction, BOLD vision, and a heart ROOTED in service.Dr. Lee is a serial entrepreneur, educator, author, and advocate whose life’s work has been centered on empowering others and creating opportunity. Now, she’s stepping into a new season - answering a long-held calling to serve in the public sphere and make a meaningful difference in education.What makes this conversation so powerful is not just what she’s doing, but why. Dr. Lee shares the inner pull that has guided her toward advocacy since a young age, and how life, family, and faith have shaped the timing of this next chapter.We talk about leadership, courage, and what it really means to stand for something bigger than yourself. We explore the importance of education - not just as a system, but as a foundation for confident, capable, and empowered human beings. And we reflect on the idea that EVERY child deserves the opportunity to thrive, in a way that honors their unique path.This episode is a reminder that leadership can look many different ways - and that when we are willing to step forward with CLARITY, COMPASSION, and PURPOSE, we have the ability to create real change.My hope is that this conversation invites you to think more deeply about the ways YOU are being called to show up, speak up, and serve - right where you are.Love and prayers,Carroll 💙🌍 Stay connected with me!▪️Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT ▪️Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍 Stay connected with Nelva Lee!▪️Voting Website: www.drnelvalee.com▪️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TBWGTR ▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/votenelvalee/ ▪️Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@votedrnelvalee?_r=1&_t=ZP-93OvLxftDmJ

Thank you Father!In today’s conversation, I sit down with trauma healing coach and facilitator Melanie Starr to explore what it TRULY means to heal from the inside out.Melanie graciously shares her powerful personal journey through physical injury, loss, divorce, and supporting her daughter through a life-threatening illness - and how those experiences led her to discover the profound connection between the body, the nervous system, and emotional healing.Together we unpack the truth about trauma - how it shows up in our daily lives, why so many of us don’t even realize we’re carrying it, and the simple yet transformative practices that can begin to restore a sense of SAFETY, PEACE, and RESILIENCE.This conversation is a gentle invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, and remember: One breath, one step, one moment at a time. Just take the next right step.Love and prayers,Carroll 💙🌍 Stay connected with me!▪️ Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT ▪️Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍 Connect with Melanie!▪️Website: https://melaniestarrdivorcecoaching.com/ ▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melaniestarr_coaching/?hl=en ▪️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reclaimradiance ▪️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melanie-starr-87850813/ 

Sometimes, the greatest lessons come from the moments we never saw coming. In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Becky Helms - nurse, caregiver, entertainer, and survivor. Becky takes us through her journey from caring for others to becoming a patient herself, facing cancer head-on, and finding her spark again on the other side!We dive into faith, laughter, and the power of prioritizing yourself - because you can’t pour from an empty cup. From navigating the post-cancer journey to embracing joy, travel, and self-care, Becky shares her experience, her humor, and the lessons that helped her reclaim life with GRATITUDE and PURPOSE.This conversation reminds us all that even after the hardest seasons, HOPE, RESILIENCE, and JOY are waiting.Love and prayers,Carroll 💙🌍 Stay connected with me!▪️ Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT 💻Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/Connect with Becky!▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iwanttoquitmydayjob/ ▪️Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbM9il2Zy55qtezE1N2DWlg ▪️TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iwanttoquitmydayjob 

There is something so powerful about our stories. In this beautiful conversation, I’m joined by the incredible Cynthia Gregory, author, speaker, and creator of the Love Notes Anthology Series, as we explore what it really means to share from the heart.Cynthia takes us behind the inspiration of Love Notes - a movement rooted in TRANSFORMATION, COMPASSION, and now, conscious leadership. Through the voices of everyday people doing extraordinary things, she reminds us that we are all leaders in our own lives… and that our experiences, no matter how small they may seem, have the power to IMPACT someone else in a meaningful way.We talk about courage, rejection, faith, and the willingness to keep showing up - even when it’s hard. Most importantly, we reflect on the truth that your story could be someone else’s survival guide.If you’ve ever wondered if your voice matters, if your story is “enough,” or if you’re being called to share something on your heart - this conversation is your gentle nudge.You matter.Your story matters.And the world needs your story, exactly as it is.Love and prayers,Carroll 💙🌍 Stay connected with me!▪️Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT ▪️Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍 Connect with Cynthia!▪️Website: https://www.coachcynthiagregory.com/ ▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachcynthia.gregory/?hl=en ▪️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cynthia.gregory.35/ ▪️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregorycynthia/

In today’s Dear Carroll, I hear from a beautiful listener who is navigating financial stress in this season of life… while also carrying the emotional weight of change, comparison, and wondering, “How did we get here?”She shares about selling the family home of 30 years, continuing to work, supporting her son, and quietly asking a question I think so many of us have felt at one time or another: “Am I experiencing envy or jealousy… and how do I rise above it?”There is so much tenderness here.I talk about the grief that can come with life transitions - the kind we don’t always name, but feel deeply. I share why it’s so important to give ourselves grace in these moments, instead of judging what comes up. We also gently look at that fine line between loving support and creating space for our children to grow into independence.And then, we come back home to what truly matters.💙 To release comparison, because it will never bring us peace.💙 To honor the sacrifices you’ve made - not overlooking them.💙 To find gratitude in the everyday, even in something as simple as paying a bill.💙 And to trust that God is present in all of it… guiding, providing, and walking with us every step of the way.If you’ve ever had a moment where life doesn’t look the way you thought it would… I want you to know - you are not alone in that feeling. And more than that, there is still so much goodness here. So much to be grateful for. So much still unfolding.Let’s take the next step together… gently, faithfully, and with hope 💙Love and prayers,Carroll 💙💌 Interested in writing to Dear Carroll? Submit below - completely anonymously! https://carrollpatrizi.com/dear-carroll-submission 🌍 Stay connected with me!▪️ Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT ▪️Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/

This episode is so special to me, because it’s personal.I sit down with my own ADHD coach, Ezra DeWolf - entrepreneur, founder of the ADHD Tools Company, and someone who has made a profound difference in my life.💙 If you have ever wondered, “Why can I be brilliant in one area… and completely stuck in another?”...💙 If you’ve bought every planner, tried every productivity hack, promised yourself you’d be “more disciplined” this year - and it still didn’t stick - this conversation is for you.Ezra shares his own late diagnosis story and explains why ADHD is not a lack of focus - it’s a challenge of controlling focus. We talk about task paralysis, burnout, rejection sensitivity, perfectionism, and the difference between efficiency and true effectiveness. And oh my goodness… that shift alone has changed everything for me!We also explore something that meant so much to me: the idea that many of our struggles are learned behaviours - and what’s learned can be unlearned. That there is nothing “broken” about you. That with the RIGHT tools, the right vocabulary, and the right community, what once felt like a liability can truly become a superpower.We talk about why so many entrepreneurs have ADHD traits, how this impacts our relationships, and how understanding our brains doesn’t just change our businesses - it changes our homes, our confidence, and our sense of peace.I share openly about the difference this work has made in my day-to-day life. It is not too late. I found Ezra later in life, and it has been life-changing.This episode is for the creative thinker. The big dreamer. The one who cares so much it hurts. The one who knows there’s more in them but can’t quite unlock consistency. The one who feels exhausted from trying to “fix” themselves.I cannot wait for you to hear this one.Love and prayers,Carroll 💙🌍 Stay connected with me!💌 Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT 💻Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍Connect with Ezra!Website: https://shorturl.at/Ce6Qd Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ezradewolfe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theadhdtools Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theadhdtools/

In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Mary Beth Lee, a clinical social worker, advocate, and compassionate guide for individuals and families navigating grief, trauma, and life’s unexpected turns.Mary Beth shares how personal experiences shaped her path toward helping others through some of life’s most difficult seasons. With remarkable wisdom, empathy, and grace, she speaks about resilience, the importance of community, and how love and connection can help carry us through even the hardest chapters of life.Together, we talk about honoring our stories, supporting one another through loss, and finding meaning and hope—even when the path forward isn’t clear.This is a conversation about COMPASSION, COURAGE, and the quiet strength that reminds us we are never meant to walk through life’s challenges alone.Love and prayers,Carroll 💙🌍 Stay connected with me!💌 Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT 💻Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍 Stay connected with Mary Beth Lee!Website: https://shorturl.at/wPPPx Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marybethleehtxkc/?hl=am-et Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mary.b.arcidiacono/about/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-beth-lee-lcsw-40992912/ 

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Larry and Gary Lane — actors, film directors, screen writers, producers, entrepreneurs, and storytellers - for a conversation that left me laughing, learning, and deeply moved.You may know them as The Lane Brothers, the creative force behind the powerful documentary Still Working 9 to 5 - a film that honors the legacy of the iconic movie 9 to 5 while uncovering the real-life movement that sparked change for women in the workplace. What began as a love letter to a beloved film turned into a six-year journey of storytelling, courage, activism, and hope.Together, we talk about the heart behind the documentary, the incredible women who shaped it - including Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and so many others - and why this story still matters more than ever. We explore the power of laughter as a gateway to learning, the role men play in advocating for equality, and how curiosity can replace fear when we allow ourselves to TRULY LISTEN.This conversation is for anyone who:🕊️ Loves stories that blend heart, humor, and history.🕊️ Wants to better understand the women’s movement and workplace equality.🕊️ Believes in using creativity as a force for good.🕊️ Enjoys a behind-the-scenes look at filmmaking, entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven work.Most of all, this episode is an invitation - to LEARN, REFLECT, CELEBRATE progress, and to recognize that there is still beautiful work left to do.

Thank You, Father! 💙🙏🕊️Today, I sit down with the incredible Rechelle Conde-Nau for a moving conversation about SURRENDER, creativity, healing, and tracing the hand of God through every chapter of our lives.Rechelle shares her powerful story of walking through unimaginable loss and how SURRENDER, trust, and unwavering faith allowed her to see God’s presence woven through every moment. We talk about the promise of Romans 8:28, and the BEAUTY of tracing God’s hand through our stories.Together, we explore creativity as a spiritual act, the COURAGE it takes to step past fear, perfectionism, and self-doubt, and how each of us is uniquely gifted to create, encourage, and serve. Rechelle reminds us that our gifts are not accidental, our stories are sacred, and our lives are meant to reflect God’s love in ways only we can.If you’re:🕊️ Walking through grief, uncertainty, self-doubt, fear, or transition🕊️ Longing to feel seen, strengthened, and reminded of God’s closeness…then this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt like you and a friend are no longer in the same season of life—but you don’t want to hurt them, either? I’m answering a listener’s question about exactly that: how to navigate outgrowing a friendship.I share how it’s okay to gently let relationships evolve, how to move forward lovingly and kindly, and why practicing the golden rule - treating others as you hope to be treated - can GUIDE you in these moments. I also talk about staying present, leaning into God’s guidance, and TRUSTING that growth is a beautiful, necessary part of life.Outgrowing someone isn’t rejection - it’s part of becoming the person God is calling you to be, and it can be done with grace, kindness, and most importantly, love.Love and prayers,Carroll💙🌍 Stay connected with me!💌 Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT 💻Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/

Being a daughter, sister, or family connector is a gift - and in this episode, we celebrate exactly that! I sit down with Dr. Allison Alford, communication expert, researcher, and author, to dive into “daughtering”: the thoughtful, intentional ways we nurture our families, strengthen bonds, and create connection in everyday life.From organizing family moments, sending a kind note, or simply checking in to share love and attention, every act matters.

What if the hardest seasons of relationship - conflict, disconnection, even divorce - could become places of clarity, healing, and growth?In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist, transformational coach, and communication expert Liz Goll Lerner, author of Divorce Well and Thrive. Together, we explore what it really means to show up with intention - first for ourselves, and then for the people we love.This episode is all about how we communicate, how we break unhealthy cycles, and how choosing AWARENESS over REACTION can change everything - from everyday arguments to life-altering decisions. Liz shares powerful insights from her personal and professional journey, including how vision, presence, and conscious communication can transform families, relationships, and even the way we move through the world.You’ll hear practical wisdom on:💙 How to pause, reflect, and read yourself before reacting💙 Why communication breakdowns are often at the heart of conflict💙 What it means to “break the cycle” instead of repeating old patterns💙 How caring for yourself is actually a gift to everyone around you💙 And how faith, intention, and presence can guide us toward peace - even in uncertaintyWhether you’re navigating a relationship, healing from one, or simply wanting to live and love more intentionally, this conversation will invite you to breathe, reflect, and consider a new way forward.Love and prayers,Carroll💙🌍 Stay connected with me!💌 Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT 💻Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍 Connect with Liz!▪️Website: https://yourinspiredchoices.com/ ▪️Instagram: https://shorturl.at/1V1si ▪️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1F8qKT3Kq6/ ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/U6ypY 

You matter. Your story matters.We are shaped by stories - the ones we’re born into, the ones we inherit, and the ones we slowly discover are ours to tell. In this panel conversation on Conversations with Carroll, we explore the healing, connective, and transformative power of storytelling.I’m joined by three extraordinary women - Amy, Nancy, and Barbara - each of whom lives at the intersection of listening, truth, and courage. From conducting thousands of intimate interviews with cultural icons to helping everyday people reclaim their voices, these women remind us that stories don’t just inform us… they change us.Together, we explore:💙 Why storytelling is deeply human - and how it builds empathy over judgment💙 How sharing our stories helps us feel less alone and more understood💙 The healing that happens when we name what’s been unspoken💙 Why listening is just as powerful as telling💙 How vulnerability opens the door for connection, compassion, and courage💙 The ripple effect that occurs when one person chooses to speak their truthWhat part of your story have you minimized or silenced? Who might find hope if you shared just a little more honestly?Where might healing begin if you allowed yourself to listen - without rushing to fix?Your story matters. Your voice matters. And when we choose to listen - truly listen - we make room for grace, understanding, and love to move.Love and prayers,Carroll 💙🌍 Stay connected with me!💌 Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT 💻Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍 Connect with Babara!▪️Website: https://shorturl.at/z9Cg0 ▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madreminutes/?hl=en▪️Wanted and Welcome Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wantedandwelcome/?hl=en 🌍 Connect with Amy & Nancy!▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepassionistasproject/ ▪️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePassionistasProject ▪️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thepassionstasproject/ 

What if getting it right for one child could change everything?In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with the remarkable Karen Mayer Cunningham - advocate, educator, truth-teller, and fierce champion for children with disabilities and the families who love them.Karen doesn’t share this work from theory - she lives it. From the moment her son was diagnosed with autism, her life took an unexpected turn that led her straight into the heart of special education advocacy. What began in pain became a calling. What felt overwhelming became purpose. And what was once misunderstood became a mission rooted in justice, compassion, and hope.This conversation is honest, heartfelt, and filled with truth you may not realize you need - whether you’re a parent, educator, advocate, or simply someone who cares deeply about children and their future.In this episode, we reflect on:💙 Why special education is not just policy - it’s a civil right💙 How advocating for a child can feel lonely, uncomfortable, and absolutely necessary💙 The power of assuming competency instead of focusing on deficits💙 Why what we say over children shapes who they believe they can become💙 How curiosity, compassion, and proper tools can unlock extraordinary potential💙 What it really means to “get it right for the child” - and how that benefits everyoneThis episode is an invitation:🕊️ To slow down.🕊️ To look again.🕊️ To speak promise instead of problems.🕊️ To choose advocacy.🕊️ To choose hope.🕊️ To choose courage — even when it’s uncomfortable.If you’ve ever wondered how to show up better for a child…If you’ve ever felt unsure, overwhelmed, or under-equipped...If you believe every child deserves to be seen, valued, and supported…This conversation is for YOU 💙Love and prayers,Carroll 💙🌍 Stay connected with me!💌 Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT 💻Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/🌍 Connect with Karen Mayer Cunningham!▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/specialeducationboss/  ▪️Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SpecialEducationAcademy/videos   ▪️TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@specialeducationboss  ▪️Special Education Academy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/specialeducationacademy   ▪️Special Education Boss Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpecialEducationBoss/  ▪️Karen’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thekarenmayercunningham  ▪️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-mayer-cunningham-10888127/  ▪️X: https://x.com/SpecialEdBoss

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.

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?

Welcome to the VERY FIRST episode of Dear Carroll! 💌In this episode, we hear from a listener who writes in about a friendship that’s grown distant after a misunderstanding - and the longing to reconnect but not knowing where to start. Oh, haven’t we all been there?I share what’s helped me in those moments: getting honest with ourselves first. Writing it all out - what was said, how it felt, and what we might have done differently. Then asking those three simple but powerful questions: Was it true? Was it kind? Was it necessary?Real healing starts within. We can’t control how others respond, but we can take responsibility for our part - and choose love over pride. And when we do, we free ourselves 💙This episode is about grace, accountability, and surrendering expectations.
