Episode 155: How An Unexpected Debilitating Allergy Revealed the Artist Within Carrie Schmitt
“I cannot create unless I’m willing to surrender and give up control. It leaves space to have the most incredible outcome. ”
It’s common for an entrepreneur’s story to begin with how they were pushed into it: a divorce, a layoff, a crisis of some kind that either forced them into creating their business or gave them no other choice. It’s rare that an entrepreneur is pushed into their business and their best life path because of a debilitating, suddenly appearing allergic reaction to heat and therefore the sun, but that’s exactly what happened to today’s guest Carrie Schmitt. Today she’s an amazing artist and it’s clear she’s living her purpose through her work, but that is not how this story begins. This episode is one of the good ones. Enjoy it!
