Carrie - Kiss My Asymptote: When Almost Is Enough

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Project You 2.2, Carrie uses the idea of an asymptote — a dotted line that a graph approaches but never touches — as a metaphor for the way we chase approval, perfection, peace, control, and the feeling of being “enough.”

Through a story from her 31 years as a math teacher, personal reflection, and gentle truth-telling, Carrie explores why we stay in motion even when we’re exhausted — and how chasing often protects us from slowing down, feeling, grieving, forgiving, and releasing what no longer fits.

This episode invites listeners to notice the invisible lines they’ve been running toward and asks a deeper question:
What might shift if you stopped chasing — and started listening?

With warmth, honesty, and practical insight, Carrie reminds us that what we avoid doesn’t disappear — it waits — and that real growth begins when we choose to meet ourselves with openness instead of striving.

A grounding episode for anyone who feels something is changing, but doesn’t yet know what comes next.
