Let me stop you right there, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE] 🖐️

Hi Reader, Do you focus more time on… ✔️ your kids ✔️ your partner ✔️ your work ✔️ your unfinished to-do-list …than yourself? Well, let me stop you before it gets worse! Because that kind of life is not sustainable. Too many doters-on-others, over-achievers, all-the-hats-entrepreneurs, and other multi-hyphenates (or simply parents and people with jobs) are working themselves into a frenzy. If you’re any one of those 👆 then you need to do this 👇
August 7-10, 2025 Pack Forest Conference Center Eatonville, WA Listen, I know it sucks living in chaos. I’ve been there, but I got out. There are certain things you can do to feel grounded, spacious, flowing, and vibrant again. So, how do you escape the frenzy? By: >> taking time out, >> pouring love and energy into yourself in a dedicated retreat, and >> allowing yourself to be nourished and cared for with loving guidance, nature, and delicious food. Return to You has all that, and more. Check out the details here, or schedule a call with me to see how a summer retreat can re-set your frenzy into fabulous. You’ll do more than relax. You’ll learn ways to replace what ails you with what heals you. I know the push to create, do more, and be more is ever-present. But for what? Stress and burnout? Instead, create space. Do art. Make movement. Explore. Be authentic. Join me in August for a much-needed respite from a life that isn’t exactly what you hoped for. Get the reprieve you and come back to your world with new eyes and a fresh perspective. Carrie |

Hi Reader, I tolerate AI. ✋On one hand, I’m appalled that AI companies have stolen authors’ content and violated copyright laws with impunity. And I HATE AI Google results. AI is notorious for pulling inaccurate information, so why do AI results get top spot??? (Plus, it’s ruining any chance of SEO results for small businesses.) 🤚On the other hand, those small businesses can set up AI to function as a virtual assistant, chat desk, analyst, and more, without jacking up overhead costs. Heck,...
Hi Reader, I love to be vulnerable and transparent. It's one of the many privileges that come with the security of being white and having done lots of inner work. Today, I share a story of a moment I'm not so proud of but learned an important lesson along the way. In my second year of being a doula, I was contacted by a potential client planning a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). I was excited to have my first VBAC client and eagerly went to meet them for our interview. Who I met was a...
Hi Reader, It happens every year right about now... I’m launching a product that seemed like a great idea 3 months ago… My schedule is all discombobulated because it gets dark so late I don’t even think about making dinner until it’s 9 o’clock… I notice the days are starting to get shorter already so I panic and want to play outside more… And next thing I know, a month has gone by and I haven’t sent an email to y’all! Well, this year is no different. I just wrapped up two projects. The one I...
