Monday Mindset: Celebrating 100 Episodes of YOUR Stories on Conversations with Carroll, The Podcast. Thank YOU!
SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU!
This month, we are celebrating a milestone — 100+ episodes of YOUR STORIES on Conversations with Carroll, The Podcast.
On average, only 4-7% of podcasts make it to 100 episodes!!! (Source: Podmatch).
The Dream Team and I are beyond grateful to celebrate with you, our amazing guests and audience — the one hundred+ conversations, one hundred+ opportunities to listen, learn, connect, and grow together. Thank You, Father!
It’s a LITTLE BIT funny (now) how much SURRENDERING has taken place — and the many facets of fear I had no idea even existed until this journey began.
SURRENDERING the fear of beginning something new at this stage of life, this age...
SURRENDERING the fear of being judged and judging...
SURRENDERING the fear of not being able to figure it out...
SURRENDERING doubt and perfection...
SURRENDERING the need to know exactly how things would unfold...
SURRENDERING the outcome of each connection...
SURRENDERING the outcome of each conversation...
SURRENDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE TO HIM…, OVER AND OVER AND OVER…
The greatest gift has not been reaching 100+ episodes. The greatest gift has been the practice of leaning into Him over and over and connecting with those of you He has placed and continues to place in and along this path.
The stories shared and those coming up...
The lessons learned and lessons to be learned…
The God moments shared and those coming up...
THE REMINDER: YOU are a child of God. You matter, Your story matters and God loves you so much.
From the bottom of my heart, Thank YOU for being part of this journey.
Whether you've listened to one episode, one hundred or just beginning to listen, if you have spread the world, liked/shared/forwarded, supported from near or far, offered encouragement, and most of all if you have prayed along the way — THANK YOU.
And if these 100+ episodes have taught me anything, it's this: When we are WILLING to SURRENDER, to trust Him, and take the next step with Him, He does more than we could ever imagine.
For this NEXT SEASON, our prayer is that learned from Mother Olga of the Sacred Heart:
"Lord, empty me, fill me, use me.”
EVERY single solitary one of you, and ALL of your loved ones…, are invited to be a guest, not only on the podcast, YOU ARE INVITED! Join us on ANY of the stages/platforms we offer and share one piece of your life story or your whole story.
I MEAN IT!!! If it were possible, I would call/text (I would not email) each of you personally! THIS IS my personal invitation to you — PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME ANYTIME, and let’s discuss your episode — YOUR STORY is a lifeline to someone else.
Here’s to the next 100+!!!
From the knee, with grateful heart, love and prayers,
Carroll 💙
