#126 Letting Go to Level Up: What You Must Release to Rise with Carrie Trabue, Founder, CEO, Author

The most successful people aren't the ones who learned to be perfect. They're the ones who learned to be real. Genea welcomes Carrie Trabue, former trial lawyer and CEO, for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of what it takes to step into your authentic power. From surviving sexual harassment in her early legal career to launching LawSphere at midlife, Carrie's journey reveals how our greatest challenges often become our greatest strengths. This episode explores the messy, necessary process of shedding the versions of ourselves we created to survive, fit in, and keep others comfortable. It's about the courage required to move from background singer to lead singer in your own life. Here's the transformation you'll witness:  🔹 How walking on eggshells with a narcissistic father developed the intuition that guides her business today  🔹 Why letting go of the "casserole train" became the first step toward claiming her power 🔹 Why her "worst" quality became her competitive advantage as an entrepreneur  🔹 The internal knowing test that guides her biggest decisions without needing anyone's approval This conversation will leave you questioning what you're willing to release to become who you're meant to be.   Connect with Carrie: Website: https://lawsphere.com/ Carrie's Book: https://www.carrington-smith.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carringtonatx/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carriesmithtrabue/   About Carrie:      Carrie Smith Trabue is the Co-Founder & President of LawSphere, a newly launched online community for lawyers.
