Carrie often describes her childhood as chaotic. She lived in a world in which faith was not allowed. Despite every challenge Carrie faced, she emerged a woman with strong faith and a desire to help others. With a love and patience that could only originate from God, Carrie turned her dark world into a place of light and love, one that shines through every piece of advice and hope she shares with others.
“I want people to have a place to come and learn how to do better, how to change, or how to come back to correct principles; whatever they need right now.”
Most of Carrie’s advice and experience is drawn from her marriage to her husband Stan. For over 40 years, they have worked together to build and raise a beautiful family of love and support. Although Carrie may make it look easy, she is the first to acknowledge that it is not.
“Marriage is a lot of work, because we are unique individuals and both are constantly changing, as people do, and should.”
When she isn’t working on content for A Mother’s Shadow, you may find her enjoying time with her grandchildren. Carrie hosts a preschool for her younger grandkids, and looks forward to watching them learn and grow on a daily basis. She loves having all of her grandkids come for cooking, crafts, games and just to spend time.
With years of experience in marriage, childcare, ample involvement in the education of her children and grandchildren, and the desire to give her children and others the opportunity to learn skills and talents, it’s clear to see how Carrie is an expert in effectively encouraging others to become their best selves.
