Like most people, I suffer from S.T.U.P.I.D. flare-ups. I did a lot of inner work to try to work through my S.T.U.P.I.D. But when Drew entered his teenage years and would argue, be disrespectful or have 'an attitude' I would get so incredibly mad.

The Secret Pond Perspective is a visualization tool for inner healing that helps us see our emotions and patterns more clearly so we can meet our hurt with love, calm our emotional waters, and create more space for contentment and peace.

Carmen developed The Secret Pond Perspective in honor of her Grandad, as a way of paying forward the impact he had on her life, in hopes of helping others discover their Secret Ponds.

What if our overwhelm, burnout and emotional shutdown are trying to tell us something? In this honest and uplifting episode, Carmen explores how these became the doorway to deeper clarity, self-worth, and freedom from carrying too much. Through humor, heart, and her “super alter ego” lens, she reveals how performance, control, fear, and scarcity can quietly shape our lives…and how asking “WHY?” can lead us back to openness, truth and…Flow.
