Hi, I’m Carie. I write for myself, and others, about navigating these times.
You deserve a break
I feel like the (exhausting) narrator in my head definitely wears Sally Jessy Raphael glasses.
This and that can be true
Most days I’m confident. Over-confident, some might say. But I also have days like today, where everything I thought about myself was disasterous. It was a perfect day to allow my big feelings to flow, and I gratefully had the time and space to do so. It was also a day that I should not — NOT — judge my entire body of work.
Words I highlighted today
It’s rough out there. But if you’re here and reading this — I have zero doubt that you’re here for a reason, you’re here with a purpose, and you were built for these times.
On surrender
Today I reflected on a way I learned to create new patterns in my life as it relates to anxiety, sharing a simple practice I started 10+ years ago. I also included some links as to what science says about this God Box practice. And, read to the end, because once again the universe humbled me today, giving me a situation that’s largely out of my control. Simple practices, but dang it — never easy.
Choices
2025 showed us, again, just how much the world needs our best selves to show up. The world is counting on us to do so. We express our best selves when we find harmony in our own experiences. When we are constantly acting out life from an extreme stress response, we create more chaos.
Some thoughts on ways we might choose to show up, a little differently.
MiddleAgedLadyShit is a spiritual account
The world needs us to be our most authentic selves. To stop playing small. To stand up for truth. And the best way we can do this is to know—deeply know—our own hearts. To get out of our victim mindsets and bravely create a new paradigm for our beautiful earth.
