    Ginny Fuchs: An Olympian’s Story - OCD, Courage & Calling (Part One)

    Thank You, Father! Today I’m joined by Olympic boxer and team captain Ginny Fuchs for an honest and powerful conversation about resilience, faith, identity, and the inner strength that carries us through life’s hardest seasons. Jenny shares her extraordinary journey from a young athlete navigating personal struggles to standing on the world stage as a leader, competitor, and woman ROOTED in purpose. We talk about discipline, devotion, setbacks, perseverance, mental health, healing, and the moments that invite SURRENDER and deeper trust. Ginny opens her heart about living with anxiety and OCD, the COURAGE it takes to ask for support, and the spiritual grounding that continues to guide her forward. Together, we explore what it means to RISE AGAIN, to trust, and to EMBRACE every chapter as sacred.  If life ever feels heavy, overwhelming, or uncertain, this conversation offers comfort, clarity, and hope. Ginny’s story reflects the truth that healing, courage, and purpose live within each of us, waiting to be activated through TRUST, GRACE, and SURRENDER.

    Dr. Allison Alford: Good Daughtering - Invisible Roles, Real Impact

    Being a daughter, sister, or family connector is a gift - and in this episode, we celebrate exactly that!  I sit down with Dr. Allison Alford, communication expert, researcher, and author, to dive into “daughtering”: the thoughtful, intentional ways we nurture our families, strengthen bonds, and create connection in everyday life. From organizing family moments, sending a kind note, or simply checking in to share love and attention, every act matters. Allison’s research reveals the beauty and significance of these gestures, and the joy that comes from showing up fully, with care, love, and intentionality. We talk about EMBRACING your role, setting healthy boundaries, sharing love and attention, and finding fulfillment in the small, meaningful ways you make a difference.  Whether you’re a daughter, son, or simply someone who cherishes your loved ones, this conversation will inspire you to notice, celebrate, and amplify the IMPACT of your care.

    Liz Goll Lerner: Dividing With Dignity - A New Way to Approach Relationship Endings

    What if the hardest seasons of relationship - conflict, disconnection, even divorce - could become places of clarity, healing, and growth? In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist, transformational coach, and communication expert Liz Goll Lerner, author of Divorce Well and Thrive. Together, we explore what it really means to show up with intention - first for ourselves, and then for the people we love. This episode is all about how we communicate, how we break unhealthy cycles, and how choosing AWARENESS over REACTION can change everything - from everyday arguments to life-altering decisions. Liz shares powerful insights from her personal and professional journey, including how vision, presence, and conscious communication can transform families, relationships, and even the way we move through the world. You’ll hear practical wisdom on: 💙 How to pause, reflect, and read yourself before reacting 💙 Why communication breakdowns are often at the heart of conflict 💙 What it means to “break the cycle” instead of repeating old patterns 💙 How caring for yourself is actually a gift to everyone around you 💙 And how faith, intention, and presence can guide us toward peace - even in uncertainty Whether you’re navigating a relationship, healing from one, or simply wanting to live and love more intentionally, this conversation will invite you to breathe, reflect, and consider a new way forward.

    The Importance of Storytelling: You Matter, Your Story Matters

    You matter. Your story matters. We are shaped by stories - the ones we’re born into, the ones we inherit, and the ones we slowly discover are ours to tell. In this panel conversation on Conversations with Carroll, we explore the healing, connective, and transformative power of storytelling. I’m joined by three extraordinary women - Amy, Nancy, and Barbara - each of whom lives at the intersection of listening, truth, and courage. From conducting thousands of intimate interviews with cultural icons to helping everyday people reclaim their voices, these women remind us that stories don’t just inform us… they change us. Together, we explore: 💙 Why storytelling is deeply human - and how it builds empathy over judgment 💙 How sharing our stories helps us feel less alone and more understood 💙 The healing that happens when we name what’s been unspoken 💙 Why listening is just as powerful as telling 💙 How vulnerability opens the door for connection, compassion, and courage 💙 The ripple effect that occurs when one person chooses to speak their truth What part of your story have you minimized or silenced? Who might find hope if you shared just a little more honestly?Where might healing begin if you allowed yourself to listen - without rushing to fix? Your story matters. Your voice matters. And when we choose to listen - truly listen - we make room for grace, understanding, and love to move.

    Karen Mayer Cunningham: The Power of Speaking Up - A Mother’s Advocacy Story

    What if getting it right for one child could change everything? In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with the remarkable Karen Mayer Cunningham - advocate, educator, truth-teller, and fierce champion for children with disabilities and the families who love them. Karen doesn’t share this work from theory - she lives it. From the moment her son was diagnosed with autism, her life took an unexpected turn that led her straight into the heart of special education advocacy. What began in pain became a calling. What felt overwhelming became purpose. And what was once misunderstood became a mission rooted in justice, compassion, and hope. This conversation is honest, heartfelt, and filled with truth you may not realize you need - whether you’re a parent, educator, advocate, or simply someone who cares deeply about children and their future. In this episode, we reflect on: 💙 Why special education is not just policy - it’s a civil right 💙 How advocating for a child can feel lonely, uncomfortable, and absolutely necessary 💙 The power of assuming competency instead of focusing on deficits 💙 Why what we say over children shapes who they believe they can become 💙 How curiosity, compassion, and proper tools can unlock extraordinary potential 💙 What it really means to “get it right for the child” - and how that benefits everyone This episode is an invitation: 🕊️ To slow down. 🕊️ To look again. 🕊️ To speak promise instead of problems. 🕊️ To choose advocacy. 🕊️ To choose hope. 🕊️ To choose courage — even when it’s uncomfortable. If you’ve ever wondered how to show up better for a child… If you’ve ever felt unsure, overwhelmed, or under-equipped... If you believe every child deserves to be seen, valued, and supported… This conversation is for YOU 💙 Love and prayers, Carroll 💙 🌍 Stay connected with me! 💌 Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact   ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4  ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi  ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi  ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT  💻Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/ 🌍 Connect with Karen Mayer Cunningham! ▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/specialeducationboss/   ▪️Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SpecialEducationAcademy/videos    ▪️TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@specialeducationboss   ▪️Special Education Academy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/specialeducationacademy    ▪️Special Education Boss Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpecialEducationBoss/   ▪️Karen’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thekarenmayercunningham   ▪️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-mayer-cunningham-10888127/   ▪️X: https://x.com/SpecialEdBoss

    Thank You, Father! 💙🙏🕊️ I’m joined by the radiant and inspiring Maddie Tufts - entrepreneur, founder of Steer, and a beautiful example of what’s possible when curiosity, courage, and purpose come together.  Maddie has carried an entrepreneurial spirit since the day I met her, and in this episode, she shares how Steer is reshaping the way we think about affiliate marketing, influence, and everyday experiences.
