For a long time I fell in love with things or the idea of things based on their story and how it unfolded. If things didn’t unfold in this “picturesque” way I devalued it. I did this with my own love story, my fitness journey, motherhood, etc. I would find where things "sparkled" and assumed since they were "share worthy" they held more value. Lately I have been leaning into the moments that I maybe don't share as much and noticing they hold just as much value if not more than the moments...

Have you ever prayed about something, wished for something, hoped for something, and waited for it to "come true?" I swear I used to wish on every shooting star and every first star I saw at night. But not very often did I continue to take steps toward the things I was wishing and hoping and praying for. Yes of course, we are suppose to "let go and let God," but that doesn't mean we stop taking steps towards the things we want in life. In this episode I talk about personal aspects of my story...

The season of "spring cleaning" is in full force and in this episode I chat all about "making space" for things to be able to come into our life, but also on the flip side, space might be being made for you without it being your decision. Maybe it's a break up or losing a job, these things can feel so heavy and negative, but maybe they are happening in order to make space for something incredible to come into our life! So do you need to make space or is space being made for you in order for...

Just because something is different than you expected doesn't mean it is bad! Motherhood has been different than expected, but that doesn't mean it has been bad! My health and wellness journey has been different, but that doesn't mean it is bad! Social media gives us a lense to see so many ways to live or do something a certain way, but you can still choose to do it your own way! You can forge your own path and pave your own way! Don't let the difference of what you expected and what actually...

This episode is going to be profound for so many women! Many of us will go through a number of transitions and pivots throughout our life. With each of these new seasons, we can find ourselves often feeling "lost or uncertain" while also sometimes "motivated and inspired." I think when these pivots happen, we try to hold onto the person we once were and we overlook that we are meeting a new version of ourselves. For me, this has been such a comforting realization within my motherhood journey!...

Late night sports center with Casey turned into one of the best messages I have heard in a long time, "It will never get easier, but you will handle hard better." What a profound statement! This was said by Kara Lawson, the women's basketball coach from Duke and it went viral a couple of years ago. In this episode we chat all about this simple mindset shift and areas of your life where it could truly impact you beyond words! SUPERHUMAN APP: you can register HERE and use code CARLYANN for 6...

Do you actually know what you want? Do you truly know what you are working towards every single day? I think if we are not clear on this it can lead to frustration. We go about our day feeling as though nothing is getting accomplished yet we actually haven’t given ourselves a clear direction. And I mean CLEAR. This doesn’t mean we won’t shift along the way, but we at least have to have a target we are aiming for. So, when was the last time you asked yourself, "What do I want?" Listen to this...

We have all heard "comparison is the thief of joy" but have you ever considered the concept of "procrastination is the thief of Joy?" This recently hit me while I found myself frustrated yet again during my morning routine with the kiddos. We were rushing out of the house and I felt my patience slipping when all of a sudden I realized that the only reason I was starting to get worked up was because of my own doing. I had procrastinated one thing after the next and before I knew it I was...

Vision boards can be so incredible! They can help us paint our dreams and get excited about things we are working towards. I think they can also create very narrow focuses that often hold us back from seeing our visions come to fruition. In this episode we talk about using our vision boards to take necessary steps towards our goals but to also adapt for them where necessary in order to recognize the beauty in the current step and not miss that our vision board is actually unfolding in its own...

If you are feeling stuck or if you are feeling like you don't know who "you" are anymore, try to silence the noise around you. Turn off your phone, don't call a friend before making a decision, don't scroll to see what other people  are doing with their life, try to truly sit in silence and remember who YOU are at your core. In this episode we dive deep into this as well as how I am impacted as a people pleaser and how it has held me back. We are not all meant to be the same, we are not all...

In this episode we chat all about the Ins and Outs of 2024. Rather than taking a full dive into everything I want "out" of my life, I am focusing a bit more on the "ins" and how I can truly squeeze everything out of life! I talk about everything from gratitude, to boundaries, to surviving this community, as well as throwing out the "hustle culture" this year. I think you will find a lot of value in this episode and will be able to lean into your own intentions even more for this year ahead!...

I know many won't agree with this but apparently if we are wanting to be "successful," we are supposed to take part in "separation season." While I don't find any need to wait to start working on ourselves or lean into the next goal, I find it very important to recognize moments of stillness and seasons of needed growth. I also think closing our computers and putting away our phones is so important in order to live the life we are working so hard at every day. I believe this is a must listen...

When someone asks you how you are doing or how your day was, how do you usually respond? Do you immediately go into all the "bad" or hard things that happened to you that day? Or do you quickly search for something great that happened so you can make your day sound better than it maybe is feeling to you? In this episode, we dive deep into these questions and talk about how we don't have to find the things that maybe went wrong and we also don't have to analyse if anything wildly amazing...

A little tough love today! If you were completely honest with yourself, are there areas in your life where you are talking the talk but maybe not walking the walk? You say you are going to show up for your health and fitness, but you haven't even figured out how to get in more water let alone take a step into a gym or go out for a walk. Or maybe you have written down all your goals for that business you want to start but you haven't made the email account or the instagram account to begin...

Going after the things we want in life is exciting! It can create motivation to work harder and determination to see our dreams unfold! But have you ever found yourself frustrated or discouraged when some of your "wants" have not become a part of your reality or the picture you are trying to create? I recently reflected back on the things I "wanted" as a teenager and young adult. Most of these things revolved around relationships and/or connections I wanted in life such as a guy I had a...

There are many seasons of life where our intentions behind our actions are pure and exciting and fully intended to move us forward, but oftentimes life has other plans and this strong sense of "losing control" can take over. Whether it is the season of motherhood where our kiddos take priority over everything, or the season of growing a business and it consumes all areas of your life, or maybe within a relationship or marriage where you are intending things to go a certain way but again, that...

"It's not about perfection, it's about how quickly you can bounce back." When I heard these words I didn't know how to process them at first because "perfection" and "bounce back" have always been words/phrases that carry a lot of weight with them. But in this episode we breakdown this statement and turn it into an extreme positive! New blog HERE. SUPERHUMAN APP: you can register HERE and use code CARLYANN for 6 WEEKS free!

People who are unsure of the direction and purpose of their life often are intimidated by those who have. We often criticize or judge others for something we don't like about ourselves. But what if we each leaned into our own greatness and put more effort into that? What if we saw criticism simply as something someone else uses as a defense mechanism for themselves rather than an attack on us? New blog HERE.

We often approach things in life based on what other people have done in the same situation or how we approached the same situation but in a different season of life. Whether it is parenting, our fitness goals, starting a business, we all have different paths when striving for similar outcomes. New blog HERE.

In moments when we are formulating our own opinions, do you ever seek the validation or support of others? Do you have goals and dreams that excite you, yet you still reach out to others to validate your next step? I believe that many of us unknowingly seek the approval and validation of others when we really should be trusting our own excitement and instincts and then allow those that love us to simply support us on our journey. Validation feels great, but it shouldn't be needed....

Adversity allows us an opportunity to change and create new habits. React to adversity through positivity by fighting. We all have the ability to master positive thoughts, it's whether or not we put in the effort to do so when faced with adversity.

Mindset shift has been everything lately. How many things in your life have you categorized as "failure?" Maybe a relationship, maybe a diet, maybe a business venture. What if you simply looked at it as "temporary defeat?" What if you allowed yourself to make a few small changes or pivots in a new direction and look at the "failure" as "temporary defeat" and an opportunity for redirection?

Often we focus on the "best version" of ourselves. We hyperfocus on it and sometimes find ourselves stuck not knowing how to take that next step forward to show up as her/him. What if we asked ourselves "what would the healthiest version of me choose?" How would your mindset shift? How would your perspective in a given moment shift? This question gives us the ability to take a step in the next moment and unknowingly show up better for the "best version" of ourselves. Try asking yourself right...

What if we approached life without a "plan B?" What if we dove into something knowing and believing in the passion and drive we have for something? This could be your health and fitness, your personal development, your relationship, your business aspirations, all of the above. What if you dove into all of it for 365 days without a plan B? Where do you think you would be? What a powerful concept to think about and you can start doing it today! Our podcast giveaway will ONLY be available to my...
