We dive deep into her unique journey—from molecular biology to esoteric philosophy—and how these experiences shaped her approach to grief and healing.

"I was like, I'm doing this. And then I remembered, this is my mom's church. I was like, oh no. Anything but that, she can't be right! And then I looked at myself and I just thought how am I gonna sit in Relief Society looking like this? You can't ask me to do that. That's too much, they ask a lot of you in that church, and I don't think I could do this. But if it meant saving my children then I was all aboard. I didn't care. Nobody could push me away. Nobody could take away the fact that I was just heard and I was just saved and I didn't deserve any of it. I was an awful, awful person all the things that I did. And there was my Savior there, running into the flames to rescue me. And not only just me, but he was there to help me save my family. And so from that day on, I just vowed. I was like, that's it. This is what I'm doing. I'm doing it all and I'm gonna do it full force."00:00 A Desperate Prayer04:49 Carla's Rebellious Youth09:28 Struggles with Addiction13:42 Family Turmoil and Separation20:12 A Mother's Desperation21:13 A Prayer for Help23:50 A New Beginning25:24 First Steps in Faith30:12 A Son's Redemption38:19 Gratitude and ReflectionCozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Mike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

Andrew Gordon, Tara Erickson, & John Humphrey jump into Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025), Marvel Studios' bold reboot of the First Family. Directed by Matt Shakman and featuring a screenplay by Josh Friedman, Eric Pearson, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer, the film introduces us to Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal — The Last of Us, The Mandalorian), Sue Storm / Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby — The Crown, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning), Johnny Storm / Human Torch (Joseph Quinn — Stranger Things, Gladiator II), and Ben Grimm / The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach — The Bear, The Punisher). They operate in a retro-futuristic 1960s world where science, celebrity, and cosmic danger collide. In First Steps, the Fantastic Four are already established heroes when Reed & Sue reveal they are having a child, setting off both public celebration and personal tension. But everything changes when Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) delivers a warning: Galactus (Ralph Ineson) is coming. With cosmic machinery out of balance, Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben must pull together to protect Earth. Key moments include the Silver Surfer's haunting arrival, Galactus' looming threat, the emotional weight of Sue's sacrifices during battle, Johnny's recklessness as the Human Torch, and Ben's struggle with his transformation. The film also features a mid-credits cameo that sets up future MCU conflict. With incredible visuals, strong performances, nostalgic period design, and one of Michael Giacchino's most memorable scores yet, First Steps stakes its claim as a new high point for the franchise.

In Episode 5, Karrie named the first step to healing involves connection with our own story. This week, Karrie is joined by Cathy Loerzel, one of the co-founders of the Allender Center, as well as an author, speaker, and story work coach, to continue the discussion of using story work as a tool for healing and how reconnecting to our story can lead us back to our true self . When do we know we need to look at places in our stories? When behaviors and patterns keep arising that prevent us from being who God wanted us to be. Why can't we just know something happened? Why do we need to go through a story at a granular level? Cathy explains that when trauma becomes embedded, we sometimes need to feel it again with an empathetic witness in order to process out what has been stored in the body. Kathy and Karrie share more about the consequences of stored trauma and how maladaptive behavior is created.
