Description

In this transformative episode, Carrie Allen explores an often-overlooked (but absolutely essential) pillar of wellbeing: social connection.

Using her powerful water wheel metaphor, Carrie makes the case that personal growth isn’t just an individual pursuit. It’s a collective one. You can meditate, journal, and do the inner work... but without the flow of connection and community, your growth stalls. Like a water wheel without water, the momentum dries up. The result? Burnout, disconnection, and a sneaky sense that something’s missing, even when you’re “doing everything right.”

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that you were never meant to grow alone.
