What if the way you think about work… is the thing that’s keeping you stuck?

In this episode of Project You 2.2, Carrie Helmer shares a deeply personal and honest look at work, purpose, and identity—through stories that will likely feel very familiar.

From watching her dad work long factory shifts…
to seeing her mom build quiet but powerful impact through cleaning homes…
to picking blueberries at 5am as a teenager…
to spending 31 years in the classroom…

Work isn’t always fulfilling.
It isn’t always easy.
And it doesn’t always feel aligned.

But it does shape who you become.

This episode explores:

• The pressure to “have it all figured out”
• The gap between responsibility and passion
• Why even meaningful work can feel heavy sometimes
• How to shift your experience without always changing your situation
• What it really looks like to evolve into your next chapter

If you’ve ever questioned your job… your direction… or whether you’re doing the “right” thing—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

What would your younger self say to you if she could sit down across from you today?

In this episode of Project You 2.2, Carrie reflects on a powerful moment sparked by Miley Cyrus’ lyrics, “Hey, you… it’s younger you… I’m just checking in to see if you still remember me.” What starts as a simple question turns into something deeper—an honest look at how we slowly lose touch with the parts of ourselves that once felt alive, hopeful, and free.

Somewhere along the way, life got busy. Responsibilities took over. And without even realizing it, many of us stopped dreaming, stopped feeling, and started just… going through the motions.

Through a story about a childhood dream, a meaningful moment in a grocery store, and a reminder that joy still exists in the smallest interactions, this episode invites you to reconnect with yourself.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, stuck, or like life has become more about managing than living, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

And if something in this episode resonates with you, Carrie invites you to reach out and start a conversation. You don’t have to figure it out alone
