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.

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.

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...
