Carlyn Shaw Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 73! Meet my dear friend Carlyn Shaw. Carlyn was diagnosed with MS over two decades ago. She's had an abortion. She nearly died in a motorcycle accident. Do I have your attention yet? :) These events were the catalyst for a transformative time in her life. Listen to this one intently, my friends. This is one you will never forget. Carlyn's bio: When the idea of being who you dream to be no longer feels, daunting, when your purpose calls you, when you're inspired to experience what you deserve, life shows up as possibilities: small world coincidences, friendship, love, abundance, ideas and opportunities… all from self love. Life is not to be protected, it's to be experienced. Your destiny is not defined by what has robbed you, controlled you or limited you. Your destiny is defined by the stepping stones you choose to create as a result of the circumstances you've been given. It's not easy, it doesn't feel good. They are called “growing pains” for a reason- you must be willing to let go of what happened to you and rebuild the precious life, waiting for you. You came here to be you. I came here to be me. When we are true to what makes us authentic and unique, we connect with people who expand our possibilities, naturally and exponentially. I was trapped in a story that could have stolen my life, it was labeled MS. I was trapped in the story that could have stolen my faith. It was labeled grief. I was trapped in the story of anxiety, It was labeled the wrong job. I was trapped in people pleasing, It was labeled, an unhappy relationship. I was trapped in negative self talk. It was labeled an eating disorder. I was trapped in addiction, it was labeled an eating disorder. I was trapped in depression… I was trapped in negative self talk. I was trapped in fear. It was called, playing small. I was trapped in feeling alone. It was called hiding my truth. It took time, it took courage. I rewrote these stories and healed myself. I let go of victimization and become the victories version of myself I knew, deep down, in the pit of my core, was possible. The only thing I had to do: give myself permission to pursue, what felt like impossible, trust the process and allow the life I was meant to experience present itself in endless possibilities. Now it's your turn, let's free you. It's your turn, to free yourself. If you allow me, I'll teach you how to retell your story, from a place of joy vs pain. I'll be your cheerleader, your guide, your partner through a process of transformation, activation and ascension into the highest version of your authentic self. I'll hold your hand and help you step on the path of possibility, calling you to your truth. Though we are meant to understand suffering, we are not meant to choose, suffering. When you give yourself permission to let fear and pain be your springboard, you'll discover silver linings to every cloud. Join me, life is meant to be a fun! Let's play in possibility. https://onamission.bio/carlyn/ This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

My guest this week is the type of person who isn’t afraid to start a conversation with any person she comes across, someone who risks it all to put herself out there, and teaches us that we can learn a lot about ourselves and others just by staying curious. Tune in to this weeks episode with Carlyn Shaw, founder of Strangers to Friends, to discover how we can all benefit from increasing our vulnerability, showing up where we are uncomfortable, and for finding connection in the most unlikely places.  

Strangers To Friends with Carlyn Shaw Connecting with a stranger doesn’t need to involve approaching someone. Sometimes we meet the most meant to be people, simply by being pen and approachable. And, that part, is up to you. Strangers To Friends aims to inspire you to embrace the possibility that the person you least expect might be the next person you are meant to meet. Say YES to YOU. Say Yes To Turning Strangers To Friends. It all began in 1997, I was 19 years old and diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in a time before Google existed! Then, in 1998 two of my best friends were killed in separate car accidents. Before I knew it I went from being an invincible 19-year-old sophomore in college to a 20-year-old served a huge reality check, forced to accept a new normal and accept my reality. Talk about a wake-up call. Shuffling between anxiety and depression, I emerged as a strong, confident woman. My mantra became, “I’ll plant my feet all over this planet as long as I can!” Why? Because it’s hard to take anything for granted after experience how quickly it can change.
