At first glance, you might think of Carrington Smith as being born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But, other people's lives usually look much easier to us than they are for them. Carrington grew up with abuse and trauma in her background.

What happens to us is not a choice. What we do with it is. Carrington is a beautiful example of how we can dig through the "stuff" of life and find gifts.

Some questions Carrington answers:
1. There are so many women out there who have been sexually assaulted – how would you advise them about their experience?
2. You felt compelled to write your book because you saw people suffering from the pandemic. Why? How does your story help others?
3. You talk about struggling with body dysmorphia. What message do you have for those struggling with this?
4. What kind of advice do you have for people looking for advice on their careers?
5. Based on your life experience, what advice do you have for people suffering from depression?

You've been listening. You're doing the work. But there's still this feeling that you're circling the same place.

Maybe you've thought about working with me one-on-one. Maybe something's held you back. 

I get that. And I want you to know there's still a place for you.

All of it, pay what you want. You decide what it's worth. Nobody gets turned away because of money.
