Therapy helped me name the pattern.
But coaching?
That’s what changed it.

I love therapy.
I am a therapist.
But let me be honest talking about your trauma is not the same as moving it.
I spent years dissecting my story…

…and still froze when I got overwhelmed.
…and still over-explained every decision.
…and still cried after every boundary I tried to set.

Until I finally got out of the chair and into the work of nervous system healing.

🔥 That’s what we do inside Elevate Your Influence:

✔️ Trauma-informed coaching
✔️ Tools for regulating real-time reactions
✔️ A safe space to embody new behaviors
✔️ Support that doesn’t just listen but walks with you

“Carrie didn’t just help me heal. She helped me reclaim myself.”

You don’t need to choose between insight and action.
You need both.

Let me say this louder:
You’re not lazy.
You’re not unmotivated.
You’re not failing.

You’re in a trauma loop.

You say “I’ll start Monday”
…But Monday comes, and you freeze.
You say “This weekend I’ll reset”
…But Saturday hits and your body is exhausted.
You say “This time will be different”
…And then your nervous system overrides your best intentions.

That’s not a mindset issue.
That’s your survival brain doing its job.

The same brain that learned to hustle to be accepted is now shutting you down to keep you “safe.”

But here’s the truth:
✨ You’re allowed to stop blaming yourself.
✨ You’re allowed to stop overcorrecting.
✨ You’re allowed to heal.

Inside Elevate Your Influence. I teach high-functioning women how to finally stop cycling between overdrive and shutdown.
And it works.

📉 Burnout doesn’t have to be your baseline.
📈 Safety can be your new normal.

You’ve been trained to believe: if it hurts, it must be wrong.

👉 But not every sting means danger. Some of it is simply your nervous system meeting a growth edge.

The problem is, when you can’t tell the difference, you stay stuck:

Saying “yes” when you wanted to say “no.”

Avoiding the hard conversation because your chest feels tight.

Spinning in self-doubt instead of trusting yourself.

✨ Here’s the reframe:

Danger feels violating, unsafe, crossing your boundaries. Your body says STOP.

Discomfort feels stretchy, tender, new. It’s your system adjusting to growth.

🔑 Two tools I teach my clients to use in real time:

Pause & Scan: Ask yourself, “Am I actually unsafe, or just uncomfortable?”

Anchor Back In: Regulate with one grounding tool (deep exhale, feet on the floor, naming 3 things you see). If the discomfort lessens, it’s growth. If it escalates, it may be danger.

This is the work I do with high-achieving women every day, helping you regulate, stop spiraling, and build a life that feels aligned, not just impressive.

❤️ You don’t have to figure this out alone.
👉 Join my free group Off the Therapist’s Couch & Into Your Life for real-world tools and support.
👉 Or book a free Breaking the Cycle call with me if you’re ready for personal guidance.

Because learning the difference between danger and discomfort isn’t just theory. It’s how you finally stop sabotaging yourself and start living fully.

You can't "calm app" your way out of chronic burnout.
You can't host one lunch-and-learn and expect team trauma to dissolve.
You can't slap a self-care slogan on your breakroom and call it transformation.

🧠 Real workplace wellness requires more than platitudes it requires people-first systems, trauma-informed strategies, and leadership willing to dig deep.

If you’re a leader or a team member tired of slapping on band-aids, this is your sign.

If you are in my coaching programs this one will be a familiar reminder! If you only take one intentional moment today… let it be this:

Three slow breaths.
Feet on the floor.
Hands on your legs.
Eyes closed, or gently softened.

This is your nervous system’s version of a power nap. ☁️
And it’s free. Accessible. Right here. Right now.

You don’t need to earn your rest.
You don’t need to be “burned out enough” to deserve it.

Try it between calls.
Before pickup.
After the tears.
Before the emails.

These micro-moments are how we heal in motion. One pause at a time.

🌀 Drop a “pause” if you’re going to try this today.
I see you. And I’m breathing with you.

If you’ve ever said:
“I know where this comes from… I just can’t seem to stop it.”
This post is for you.

You don’t need more self-awareness.
You need a new identity that’s no longer built on survival.

This is what we’re doing together in Elevate Your Influence.
And it's why it works.

“I thought I needed more therapy. What I actually needed was a space to become who I really was without apology.”

📩 DM “ELEVATE” or drop a 💥 if you're ready.

10/14/2025

You’re not stuck. You’re just scared of what comes after the letting go. Sometimes it’s not failure we’re afraid of it’s freedom.

Because when you’ve lived your life in survival mode, peace can feel like a threat.
Stillness feels like danger. Rest feels like risk.

But what if the discomfort you’re feeling isn’t a warning sign?
What if it’s the tension of growth?

🧠 Save this for when you’re spiraling.
💌 DM me 'Clarity' if you’re ready to name what you’re scared to let go of.

Just because I can doesn’t mean I should.
And just because I say yes doesn’t mean my nervous system agreed.

High-functioning anxiety is real and it’s not sustainable.

✋ Tell me you’re breaking the cycle without telling me.
💬 Drop a “NOPE” in the comments if you feel this.
👥 Tag your people-pleasing bestie we’re rewriting the rules together.

She’s the one everyone goes to.
She’s the strong one. The one who “has it all together.”
She’s successful…
But no one really sees her.

She leads the meeting.
Packs the lunches.
Holds space for everyone else’s big emotions.

And then she goes home.
Sits in her car in silence.
Opens a bottle of wine.
Wonders:
“Why does everything still feel so hard?”

It’s not because she’s broken.
It’s because no one ever taught her how to rest, how to regulate, or how to receive.

🔥 Inside my 90-day coaching program, we’re breaking that cycle.

Not with one more journal prompt. But with real tools for emotional freedom, nervous system healing, and boundaries that stick.

Talk therapy helped me understand the why.
But it didn’t teach me how to stop spiraling.

I knew the trauma.
I knew the story.
I could explain it 10 different ways…
But I still couldn’t stop reacting.
Still couldn’t rest.
Still didn’t trust myself.

That’s the part no one tells you:
🧠 Insight isn’t the same as integration.
And healing doesn’t happen in your head alone.

The real shifts?
They happen in your body.
In your nervous system.
In how you feel before you even speak.

That’s what we do inside my 90-day coaching experience.

You won’t just talk about it. You’ll move it.
You’ll finally feel like yourself again.

✨ The Fall Sale is almost here.
25% off for those ready to stop performing and start transforming.

Doors open this week. DM “OCT” for early access.

Overbooking your calendar.
Jumping into action.
Cleaning like your life depends on it.

You’ve called it productivity.
But your nervous system calls it survival.

If you’ve ever been praised for being “so on top of things” while quietly falling apart inside this is for you.

Being busy is sometimes how we outrun the feeling.
And it works until it doesn’t.

You don’t have to hustle your way to healing.

What if you’re not stuck…
just scared of who you’ll become once you finally let go?

Because when your whole life has been built around holding it together
✅ for the kids
✅ for the team
✅ for your family
✅ for your partner
…freedom can feel terrifying.

Stillness isn’t always soothing at first.
Joy can feel like a risk when you've been wired for stress.
And rest? That can feel undeserved when your worth has been tied to output.

But listen:
The fear isn’t a red flag. It’s a compass.
You’re not falling apart you’re on the edge of a shift.

And if you're ready to do it differently?
🔥 That’s exactly what The Last 90 Days is here for.

We’ll quiet the noise.
Create a plan that feels human not hustle-based.
And get you into action you’re actually proud of by the time 2026 rolls in.

📥 Save this post if it hit.
💌 DM me “Clarity” to see if we’re a fit.
You’re not behind. You’re right on time. Let’s move.
