Own Your Comeback with Carolyn Boras
Alright, friends. Get ready to meet one of the most heart-centered, unstoppable women I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with. Carolyn Boras is nearly 70, and instead of retiring quietly after 45 years in education, she decided to totally reinvent herself. How iconic is that?
Note: This episode includes a brief, sensitive moment that may be triggering for some listeners. Please take care while listening.
After a serious health scare, Carolyn didn’t just heal; she asked bigger questions. Questions like..."What am I really here to do?"
And she answered that call by becoming a certified RTT practitioner and hypnotherapist, helping other women (especially teachers) break free from burnout, stress, and lifelong blocks.
We talk about all the real stuff: fear, purpose, energy, healing, and what it actually looks like to say, “I’m not done yet.”
Carolyn’s story is living proof that it’s never too late to pivot, grow, and do something that actually lights you up.
If you’re curious about RTT, feeling stuck in your current season, or just need a little inspo from a wise woman who’s walking the walk...this episode will totally lift you up!
