Episode 202: How to Turn Emotion into Strength with Carlie Petraitis

In this week's interview episode, I am joined by my dearest friend-Carlie. Also known as "Carlie Queen" for her impressive hip thrust records. Carlie shares insights into her journey of embracing sensitivity and overcoming body image issues, discussing her inspirations, childhood experiences, and the challenges she faced growing up. We talk about themes of family dynamics, mental health, self-acceptance, and the importance of a supportive community. Carlie also talks about her fitness programs and offers advice on how to stay motivated and connected with oneself. The episode highlights the importance of enjoying life's moments, riding the waves of controllable situations, and surrendering to the uncontrollable.
