Year ago, one of my mentors told me to look up Carrie Wilkerson.\xa0He thought I would be impressed with the way she built a business on her own terms, from her own home, keeping her own family as her #1 priority.\xa0Always.\xa0\n\xa0\nYou all know, I love doing Facebook \u201cresearch.\u201d\xa0So, I looked Carrie up, \u201cFollowed\u201d her (as her Friends were at capacity, no surprise), and was immediately very impressed.\xa0\n\xa0\nWhat drew me to Carrie was her story.\xa0Through various Facebook posts over the years, I saw her post these intimate snapshots into her life and her history.\xa0Her posts about her family routinely left me teary eyed.\xa0While I was trying (desperately) to grow my little family, she filled me with hope as I learned her story of how she grew her (not so little) family.\xa0I could feel love and grace and strength in everything she shared.\xa0\n\xa0\nWhen I started the Shameless Mom Academy, I knew I wanted to interview Carrie.\xa0She is tough but gentle; firm, but kind; loud, but soft.\xa0My kind of girl.\xa0100%.\xa0\n\xa0\nI have heard some of Carrie\u2019s stories a few times now (yes, I totally sound like a stalker). Yet, she still gave me goose bumps over and over in this interview.\xa0\n\xa0\nListen in to hear Carrie share:\n\nHow she became a Barefoot Executive and how you can be one too\n\nWhy your competition is not your competition\n\nHow she overcame 6 figures of debt and lost over 120 pounds\n\nHow you can divide & conquer and create boundaries in all areas of your life in order to prevent resentment from others\xa0\n\nHow to say NO and why you should say NO\n\nWhy your kids need to be on a stage with a mic, sooner than later\n\n\xa0\n\xa0\nLinks Mentioned:\n\xa0\nCarrie\u2019s Website\xa0\nCarrie\u2019s 7 Day Business Blitz (free download!)\nCarrie on Facebook\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
