Carrie - The Light in Her Pocket: Lessons from Grandma Charlotte

In this deeply personal episode of Project You 2.2, Carrie shares the story of her Grandma Charlotte — a woman who lived with almost nothing, yet carried more joy, generosity, and light than most people ever do. Through warm memories of softened butter on saltines, a single shared lightbulb, and the soft purr of a therapy cat, Carrie explores what it truly means to see the world through “rose-colored glasses.”

This episode dives into the contrast between people who brighten a room and those who drain it — and how our perspective shapes our relationships, our happiness, and the energy we bring into every space we walk into.

Carrie invites listeners to ask a simple, transformative question: What color glasses am I wearing today? Through the legacy of her grandmother’s kindness and unwavering faith in the good, this episode challenges you to shift your perspective, reclaim your joy, and carry your own light — even in the hardest seasons.
