Manage episode 485413339 series 1322973
Toay we’re welcoming back a very special guest: executive producer, entrepreneur, and educator Kristen Carter! If you haven’t already, make sure to check out episode 156 for Kristen’s powerful story on how she got her start in media and carved her unique path in the industry.
Since we last spoke, Kristen has continued to break creative ground — most recently serving as Showrunner and Executive Producer for the PBS gospel concert special GOSPEL Live! Presented by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., featuring performances from John Legend, Erica Campbell, and Anthony Hamilton.
In this episode, Kristen opens up about navigating unplanned life changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the emotional toll of loss, and the challenges of working in the media industry. She also shares her powerful decision to choose joy, and how that intentional choice led her to deeper healing, purpose, and transformational growth.
We also discuss:
Embracing new creative territories
The impact of loss on one’s dreams
Letting go of toxic love and its lasting effects
The importance of mentorship and community
Trusting your magic and saying YES to joy
Kristen’s vulnerability and strength remind us that sometimes, the key to moving forward is letting go of what no longer serves us. Her journey will inspire you to keep dreaming — and to do it with intention and heart.
Let’s get into it.
