Brian & Carrie

Live with intention.

But insider tip…

Instead of asking yorkself what you have to DO today…

Ask yourself…

HOW do you want to FEEL today?

WHO do you what to BE today?

And set intention from there…

Also… enjoy this piece of morning beauty!

We've been conditioned to believe that LOVE is something we have in order to give. But in the truest sense of the human experience, LOVE is what we are...

GUYS!!!

We are SO BEYOND EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

2012… that is when we held our very first LIVE retreat in the mountains of Mont Tremblant.

We hosted several in the years that followed.

4, a year to be exact.

2017… we even took the retreat to Spain, now that was MAGICAL!

We are so beyond thrilled to announce that after a break from LIVE RETREATS…

(Thank you Covid)

We are finally kicking off these amazing events again.

If you have attended one you are well aware of how life changing they are and the immense connection and energy that is cultivated during our days together.

We will be hosting our first one in 3 years.. Right here in beautiful Arizona.

We are only opening 15 spots.

And they will be on a first come, first serve basis.

We won’t belabour this post with all the details… we will merely say this.

If you are interested (even in the slightest way) pop a comment below OR send me a message.

The spots are going to go fast… The magic and the shifts of growth are going to last a lifetime.

THAT… we can all but guarantee.

❤️

One time I asked my Dad why he was always so happy...

::
::
.. He told me because he woke up every morning.

::
::

I asked him if that was his only reason.

::
::

He asked me why anyone would need more reasons than that.

It’s time for a rebrand to “Brian & Carrie”.

Which is your favourite look and why?

(PS: unedited)

PPS: know that we are fully capable of picking the one we like… we just want to know y’all’s thoughts.

You see this face right here? ⁣
⁣
That’s the face of someone who LOVES being on the stage. ⁣
⁣
BUT… I don’t love it more than my OWN personal journey. ⁣
⁣
The stage while I love it, the world title while I plan to win it… ⁣
⁣
IS NOT my ultimate goal… ⁣
⁣
𝗜 ⁣
𝗔𝗠 ⁣
𝗠𝗬⁣
𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘 ⁣
𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟. ⁣
⁣
I strive to create the best physique for me! ⁣
⁣
I want more for me! ⁣
⁣
So when people are surprised to hear I’m not stepping on stage this December I just simply remind them… ⁣
⁣
It’s not about how many times I step on stage in a year… ⁣
⁣
It about how I have 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗡 when I step on stage again… and that takes time. ⁣
⁣
𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯. ⁣
𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦. ⁣
⁣
Cause I don’t intend on stopping till I do… but those are just the part of the journey along the bigger journey of life! ⁣
⁣
Let’s go 🔥🔥

Someone needs this reminder today. I hope it's you. Nothing but magic... ♡

…but can you laugh at yourself? ⁣
⁣
I didn’t even realize till right now as I am posting this that everyone’s likely worst reality on stage happened to me last month. ⁣
⁣
Every competitor fears tripping, breaking a shoe and so on. ⁣
⁣
I didn’t trip… but the sequins on my boot got caught in the tulle of my cape and I had to meander my way out of it. ⁣
⁣
I have imagined a moment like that many times… ⁣
⁣
And rather than imagining freaking out about it… I just imagined laughing it out and continuing with grace. ⁣
⁣
And you know what? ⁣
⁣
That is EXACTLY a what I did. ⁣
⁣
I didn’t miss a beat. ⁣
⁣
I didn’t suddenly loose my confidence. ⁣
⁣
I laughed it off and continued with poise.⁣
⁣
Who cares in the end? ⁣
⁣
Life isn’t about being perfect it’s about learning and having fun along the way.⁣
⁣
After all… it’s all too serious to take seriously… ⁣
⁣
This picture captures the moment of grace and confidence… and laughter and “oh well”.⁣
⁣
Stop taking it all so serious… one day time is on a be up and you are going to wish you laughed more along the way. ⁣

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆! 🥂

Honored and privileged to work with some of the student-athletes at Benedictine University today...

::
::
.. Such a throwback to my roots of traveling the world as a "Performance Consultant" back in the day.

::
::

New Zealand, Australia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Ireland, Italy - it was such an honor to teach practical elements of Mindset and Emotional Intelligence to World, Olympic, Professional and National Team competitors for so many years.

::

Your input (narrative) determines your output (habits) which dictates your performance (results). Simple message put to a practical "how to" process.

I'm so blessed for what I get to do in this world. For however long I get to be in this life, I'll feel eternally grateful... ♡

When I set out to step on stage my vision is always to WOW the audience. ⁣
⁣
To slay the stage. ⁣
⁣
To create unique looks that reflect who I AM right now. ⁣
⁣
Every single look I had at Worlds I loved but Girl On Fire will forever be my favourite! ⁣
⁣
Let’s do it again!

It’s been two weeks since Worlds. ⁣
⁣
Man, I’m already missing the stage. ⁣
⁣
My feet won’t be walking it for a little while as we are in a growing season now but I cannot wait to be back. ⁣
⁣
Currently, in the fun aftermath of getting in professional pics, stage pics and videos. ⁣
⁣
Love the new tradition of an impromptu shoot with following the show. ⁣
⁣
Love this Lady in Red Series!

From the chronicles of ANOTHER odd conversation I had in the gym today...

::
::

Random Guy: "I've seen you here a few times. You're huge bro"

::
::

Me: "Ha! I'm really not that big"

::
::

Random Guy: "What are you, like 6'6"?"

::
::

Me: "More like 6'3"..."

::
::

Random Guy: "How much do you weigh, like 275?"

::
::

Me: "More like 250..."

::
::

Random Guy: "What are you squatting today, like 600lbs?"

::
::

Me: "More like 450..."

::
::

This week, I have been a MAGNET for various "Random Guy" conversations that can only be described as "bizarre".

::
::

New moon?

::
::

Oh... 405lbs x 2. Easy money...

I LOVE playing games with myself to make the process more exciting!

I am 14 days out from Worlds!!

Whew, I’m just two weeks I will be stepping on stage this very day.

There is A LOT that goes into my daily prep right now.

From tanning to posing… to workouts and macros.

The list is long.

The hours are long.

The work is hard.

And I love it… but I also love keeping myself engaged and accountable with fun stuff.

Well fun for me!

This is the white board that is currently and eye sore in our otherwise perfectly decorated living room.

It has a list of the daily things I have to do to ensure I step on stage THE VERY BEST version of me.

Every morning on my way out to do cardio I wipe the boxes clean.

And then as the day goes on I check off the ones that apply.

It’s like this master game for myself and I love seeing all those boxes ticked off.

Let’s be honest don’t we all!

It’s the reward psychology of the brain.

I firmly believe that if you want to achieve greatness in life.. in any area, you have to find ways to keep yourself engaged in the process.

Cause the process is hard.

The process is boring.

The process is often long.

Get creative, get accountable and CRUSH your goals!

Lengthen the time you spend in true happiness by shortening the amount of energy you waste on thinking its tied to something other than your perspective...
