Let go, trust, transcend, lead. These four words hold immense power and significance in our journey towards personal and collective growth.

The transition from entrepreneur to creator is a journey that many individuals embark on as they seek to align their work with their true passions and purpose. It’s a process of self-discovery and growth. Today, we can see glimpses of this transition in the story of our incredible guest.

Competition has long been ingrained in our society, particularly among women. From a young age, we are taught to compare ourselves to others, to strive to be better, and to believe that there is only room for one at the top. This toxic mindset has created a culture of competition and comparison, where women feel the need to constantly prove themselves and tear each other down in order to succeed. However, there is a shift happening. In this juicy episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming Amy Natalie, a Women's Empowerment Coach and Feminine Embodiment Guide. Amy has over a decade of coaching...

In this episode, I had the privilege of welcoming back a very special guest, Moe Rock, an Award-Winning Producer, Entrepreneur, Entertainment Consultant, Speaker, and Author, who is not only a dear friend but also an incredible thought...

Scarcity is often seen as a negative and undesirable state to be in. It is associated with lack, limitation, and a sense of not having enough. However, in today’s episode, I challenge this perception and suggest that scarcity can actually teach us self-love. Scarcity is not primarily about money and material possessions, but rather about our beliefs and mindset. Through my own experiences and insights, I’ll be sharing how scarcity can be a catalyst for personal growth and transformation. By embracing scarcity and understanding its role in our lives, we can extract valuable lessons...

Did you know that my name, Carissa, actually means grace? Grace is not just a word; it's a frequency, a way of being. It's about living a graceful life, sharing gracefully, and embodying that energy in all aspects of our lives. When we tap into grace, everything feels peaceful and aligned. It's a journey of reconnecting with our soul wisdom and finding peace within ourselves. Success, to me, is synonymous with peace. If we are at peace, we are succeeding. Let's rewrite our version of success and allow old paradigms to crumble. In this week's episode, I dive deep into the profound concept of...

Today, I want to dive deep into a topic that hits close to home for many of us - family. Family dynamics shape personal growth in profound ways. Our families are the first and most influential social systems we encounter, and they play a significant role in shaping our beliefs, values, and behaviors. This episode highlights the transformative power of family dynamics and the lessons they offer. I’m sharing my personal experiences and the profound lessons I've learned while visiting my family in Illinois. Spending time with loved ones or family gatherings can often be triggering and bring up...

There’s a misconception that personal growth and self-actualization only involve focusing on one's strengths and discarding or ignoring the darker aspects of oneself. However, the true growth comes from loving and integrating all parts of oneself, including the parts that feel unlovable or socially unacceptable. In this episode, Carissa had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Cameron MacDougall, a Transformational Expert, Coach, Public Speaker, Breathwork Facilitator, and Host of the Ignite You podcast. Together, we explored some edgy but incredibly important topics that will...

Memorable Quotes
"I get energized and I flourish within the context of connection and relationships. And so, I need to proactively be making new connections, cultivating existing connections, maintaining existing connections for me to feel passionate and feel alive and to thrive in many ways.” [00:27:30] – Jake Kauffman
"I also think women need exclusively female spaces for our own collective healing. And I think men more than ever need that as well. And for the collective healing, I think it has to be somewhat separate in other ways." [00:59:25] – Keri Ford
