Listen as Carrie and her new husband, Teddy, share the story of their deeply personal, joy-soaked wedding.
They unpack what it looked like to trade performance and perfection for presence and play, and how inviting guests to participate (not just observe) transformed the day into a living work of art.
Along the way, Carrie also shares exciting news about her forthcoming book, Awakening Creativity: A Sacred Journey to Reclaim Your Inner Artist—including how to download two free chapters and join her live Vade Mecum (Go-With-Me) journal class on Thursday, September 25.
