In our twenties, it's easy for us to get caught up in what's holding us back from the life we're dreaming of. Dwelling on the latest office drama, being too hard on ourselves for not crossing everything off our to-do list, or even just feeling unmotivated by the season of life we're in. But for today's guest, the little inconveniences of her twenties were the least of her worries as she contemplated whether or not she'd be able to ever live a normal life again. 

In today's episode, Carrie shares personal details regarding the challenges she’s faced in her life and how she overcame unsurmountable odds through the help of her positive mindset. By connecting to daily rituals, gratitude, and strong boundaries, she was able to persevere through hospital bedrest for over 130 days, almost having her leg amputated, nearly dying during childbirth, and later being diagnosed with PTSD. She's here to show you how to incorporate these strategies to successfully use them in your own life so you too can feel in control and maintain a positive mindset when faced with any kind of challenge. 

In today's episode, we talk about:

• Spending her 20's in and out of a hospital bed


• How perseverance and positive mindset saved her life


• Staying positive in our darkest moments


• Getting grounded in gratitude and daily routine


• Not falling victim to what you can't control


• Not comparing our stories to other people's
