Episode Synopsis

What happens when you replace "I can't" with "I can"? Join me, Carmen Cauthen as I share my personal journey of overcoming self-imposed limitations by transforming fear into empowerment. Inspired by her upbringing, where "I can't" was never an option, I dive into the art of confronting fears head-on, from learning to spell to facing the daunting world of public speaking and podcasting. My stories are a testament to the incredible possibilities that open up when we challenge our own boundaries and refuse to let fear dictate our actions. In an inspiring episode, I also reveal the secrets behind a remarkable school fundraising initiative that shattered previous records. Drawing from the year the Hurricanes triumphed in the Stanley Cup, I illustrate how creativity and a refusal to be held back by doubt can lead to extraordinary success. With innovative auction items and inclusive tactics, the event raised $9,000, setting a new benchmark for what belief and perseverance can achieve.Let my journey motivate you to banish the "I can't" mindset and tap into the limitless potential that lies within.====================================Carmen Wimberley Cauthen is an author, speaker, and lover of history, Black history in particular.
