Conversations with Carroll

Monica Tanner: Healing, Growing and Loving Better Together

Today, the incredible Monica Tanner joins us and shares what it truly means to create a marriage that is not just lasting - but deeply alive, joyful, and fun! Monica brings such honesty, warmth, and wisdom to this conversation as she reframes marriage not as something we simply “endure,” but as a SKILL we can learn, grow in, and intentionally nurture over time. We dive into what it means to move beyond resentment, miscommunication, and disconnection - and into a relationship built on curiosity, emotional safety, and conscious connection.  One of the most POWERFUL reminders in this conversation is this: differences are not the problem in marriage - they are often the very thing that creates depth, passion, and intimacy when we learn how to work with them. We also talk about the importance of coaching and support in relationships, just as we would in any other area of life where we want to grow and thrive. From communication and emotional safety, to the “big three” challenges of marriage - money, intimacy, and parenting - Monica reminds us that no couple is meant to navigate it all alone. This conversation invites us to embrace the humility of learning, the courage of asking for help, and the commitment of showing up for one another again and again.

Anat Peri: The Practice of Becoming Your Own Safe Place

Thank You, Father, for the opportunity to sit with the incredible Anat Peri and explore what it TRULY means to feel, heal, and live with intention. Anat brings such wisdom, grace and truth to the table as she walks us through the connection between our inner child, our nervous system, and the patterns we may not even realize are guiding our lives. Together, we explore what it means to move from survival, into conscious, aligned living. One of the most powerful reminders in this conversation? Our emotions are an INVITATION. We talk about how so many of us have learned to suppress what we feel, to push through, to stay “positive”… and yet, those very emotions we avoid are often the ones asking to be seen, heard, and released.  This conversation is filled with moments that will have you reflecting, softening, and perhaps even seeing yourself with a little more compassion. We speak about nervous system regulation, about the patterns we learned in childhood, and about how we can begin to work with our bodies instead of feeling like they are working against us.. THIS is your invitation to pause…  To get curious…  And to tend to yourself with compassion 💙🙏 Love and prayers, Carroll💙 🌍 Stay connected with me! ▪️ Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact [https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact]   ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 [https://shorturl.at/pYPX4]  ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi [https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi]  ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi [https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi]  ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT [https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT]  ▪️Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/ [https://carrollpatrizi.com/] 🌍 Connect with Anat Peri ▪️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anat.peri/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/anat.peri/?hl=en]  ▪️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anat.peri.58/ [https://www.facebook.com/anat.peri.58/]  ▪️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anat-peri/

Kadine Cooper: The Power of SURRENDER in Leadership and Self Awareness

There comes a moment when what once “worked” no longer feels right - and you know something has to shift. In this meaningful conversation, I’m joined by Kadine Cooper - executive coach, facilitator, speaker, and someone who is deeply committed to helping leaders realign with who they truly are. Kadine shares her journey from a 20-year career in HR to stepping out on her own, following that quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) inner knowing that her values were no longer aligned with the environment she was in. What followed was a path rooted in growth, courage, and a deep desire to help others lead from a place of clarity and purpose. We talk about what it really means to lead yourself first - because leadership doesn’t begin with a title, it begins with awareness. Kadine introduces her “Five F’s” - Faith, Family, Fun, Freedom, and Flexibility - and how grounding yourself in your values creates not only stronger leadership, but more sustainable and human-centered workplaces. In this episode, we explore: * The difference between reactive leadership and intentional leadership * How misalignment quietly impacts performance, culture, and well-being * SURRENDERING control and learning to trust your team * The importance of self-awareness and honest reflection * Creating space for others to grow, contribute, and lead * And how to recognize the early signs before a team - or a leader - burns out If you’ve ever felt stuck, stretched too thin, or disconnected from your purpose - this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Isabel Chiara: Relearning How To Nourish Yourself

Thank You, Father! I’m joined by Isabel Chiara - author and life actualization coach, and someone who has completely reimagined what it means to NOURISH ourselves, far beyond food. Isabel’s journey began in the fast-paced, emotionally charged world of the restaurant industry, where she spent years taking care of everyone else - while slowly losing connection with herself. Like so many of us, she found herself caught in patterns of giving, doing, and coping… without ever truly receiving the nourishment she needed. That realization became the turning point. Through her books - including BOD Behavior, Eat Your Words, and her newest release Nourish: Beyond Food, Feeding the Path of Personal Power and Joy - Isabel invites us into a new way of living. One where food, emotions, relationships, and experiences are all part of a deeper conversation with ourselves. In this episode, we explore: * The difference between feeding and truly nourishing yourself * How emotional patterns and daily stress show up in our relationship with food * Why cravings are powerful indicators - not weaknesses * Releasing “good vs. bad” thinking around food and behavior * How past experiences shape our present habits (and how to shift them) * Creating a life that feels nourishing - before you even step into it One of the most beautiful takeaways from this conversation is simple, yet powerful:You can choose to make EVERY experience nourishing. This episode is an invitation to soften, to get curious, and to begin listening to what your body - and your life - has been trying to tell you all along. As you move through your day, consider this:What would shift if you decided that whatever comes next… is here to nourish you?

Dr. Nelva Lee: From Entrepreneur to Advocate - A Journey of Purpose and Change

Thank You, Father! 💙🙏🕊️ In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Nelva Lee - a woman of deep conviction, BOLD vision, and a heart ROOTED in service. Dr. Lee is a serial entrepreneur, educator, author, and advocate whose life’s work has been centered on empowering others and creating opportunity. Now, she’s stepping into a new season - answering a long-held calling to serve in the public sphere and make a meaningful difference in education. What makes this conversation so powerful is not just what she’s doing, but why.  Dr. Lee shares the inner pull that has guided her toward advocacy since a young age, and how life, family, and faith have shaped the timing of this next chapter. We talk about leadership, courage, and what it really means to stand for something bigger than yourself. We explore the importance of education - not just as a system, but as a foundation for confident, capable, and empowered human beings. And we reflect on the idea that EVERY child deserves the opportunity to thrive, in a way that honors their unique path. This episode is a reminder that leadership can look many different ways - and that when we are willing to step forward with CLARITY, COMPASSION, and PURPOSE, we have the ability to create real change. My hope is that this conversation invites you to think more deeply about the ways YOU are being called to show up, speak up, and serve - right where you are.
