Congratulations to Kristen, this month’s winner of the FIND YOUR PATH Photo Contest! Learn more about Kristen’s journey to finding her path below.

How has Carrie motivated you to find your path and live the Fit52 Life? I am always in awe over the things Carrie accomplishes as a mother of two. It inspires me to persevere with the same mentality! I am a mother of two as well, and I can assure you the days are long, tiring and I’m not always feeling motivated. However, she has truly paved a path of clarity for me! Getting my family involved, like she does, has been awesome and a fun experience! Stay the path is an amazing slogan. You can truly have your path be customized to you and your own needs/desires. Thank you for being so motivational and inspiring Carrie!

What is your favorite part of Carrie’s new book, FIND YOUR PATH?
Honestly, my favorite part was getting to see so many new pictures we’ve never seen that give us a glimpse into her path, her family life, and her business life. I loved the recipe she shared for the “Nicecream!”

What advice do you have for other Care Bears that want to find their path?
Pave your OWN path! Make it a small goal that’s achievable to help motivate you. Then CRUSH that goal and keep going! Don’t lose hope or get discouraged when something doesn’t go as planned. Do this for you and no one else!
