In this episode, Christi and Tara chat with Realtor, Mom, and New-York-Performing Stand-Up Comedian Carrie about how she overcome the judgment of her small Southern town to reach the stages of New York City. Learning to be authentic and accepting that it wasn't important to fit in with the "big-bow" moms allowed Carrie to set an example for her three children that everyone is worthy of love and acceptance as she instilled in them that being different isn't being wrong. Carrie discusses the power of her Tribe, the devastating loss of her father, and working to get her mojo back after setbacks. This episode is one that can't be missed. The power of authenticity has shaped Carrie's life and allowed her to reach her dreams.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/risetobeing/support
