Carrie just got back from Zambia… and let’s just say—she’s changed.

(But also… still very much herself.)

In this episode, Carrie and Suze go from chaotic mom-life (being late, forgetting shoes, ADHD moments) to a raw, honest conversation about mission trips, poverty, privilege, and what it actually means to be transformed by an experience.

Carrie shares what it was like traveling to Zambia with her daughter, working with an incredible school called iDream, and building real relationships with families living in extreme poverty. From delivering mattresses and food to forming friendships over Instagram DMs, the experience left her asking a hard question:

How do you come home changed… and stay that way?

Meanwhile, Suze reflects on her own trip to Uganda and what it means to raise kids who see the world beyond America.
