The Carrie On Podcast w/Carrie Lloyd

A podcast for my single/divorced/widowed AND married friends. This takes a look at being single in your thirties/forties and onwards. How do we steward the best life being single and avoid pining for a season we are not yet in? Couples - some advice on how to help your single friends and some thoughts on the segregation that happens when people begin to marry. This episode looks at both sides of the coin, how we need to stop fixing our single friends and instead start matching them. Carrie gives an honest account on being single and how to remember your worth without a beloved. 

In this episode, Carrie confronts the issue of criticism – the importance of it, how we receive it, and how we deliver it. If we are to grow, it’s a vital component to live in a culture of confrontation.

Carrie talks about the epidemic of porn, how we have reacted to it, and how it’s not technically porn that is the issue but the motivation behind clicking online. From shaming the spouse to shaming from church members - those tactics haven’t worked, but Carrie has discovered success within her own journey and pastoring others to having successful relationships once more.  

In a world full of fighting opinion, Carrie looks into the importance of diversity and how we love in disagreement. From finding friendships with Christians when she was an atheist, to the current political climate, freedom of speech is losing its edge and causing an identity crisis. Photo credit: JD Hudson

We live in a time when it's become so commonplace for people to deflect, blame others and see the world as a barrier to our personal well-being and success.  On this latest editon of Carrie On, Carrie Lloyd exhorts us to take personal OWNERSHIP of our lives, our relationships, and our communication.

In this episode, Carrie brings on good friends, James and Lori Burke to discuss marriage, dating (including dating the same person) and an examination of good and bad British accents in this free wheeling look at what happens when you do a podcast with no script.  At the very least, it's highly entertaining. 

From a remote location aligning the crashing waves of Carmel, CA, Carrie goes on the road for a podcast about a topic near and dear to her heart - codependency.  She views this topic as a global issue effecting so many people in so many different age groups that she felt it was time to share her views and advice on something she has dealt with for years as a counselor and pastor. 

Carrie goes it alone on this editon of "Carrie On" and discusses our current cultural malaise where everyone seems to be offended.  Because of social media this has never been so easy, but according to Carrie it's a "heart issue" and she discusses ways we can not only be less offended, but how to continually love the unlovable in our lives.
