Inspiring Transformations and Life Lessons with Carey Pierce
Meeting Carey Pierce for the first time in real life on the side of a volcano during the Kauai Marathon a decade ago was the beginning of an inspiring friendship that I am thrilled to share with you today. Join us as Carey takes us through her remarkable journey from dedicated motherhood to flourishing in the social selling realm, particularly within the beauty industry. Discover how she found her true passion, reinventing herself and embracing new challenges as a fellow introvert, all while inspiring those around her with her courage and authenticity.
The most profound lessons often stem from setbacks, and Carey’s story is a testament to that truth. We'll explore how she navigates life's curveballs with resilience and grace, whether it's adapting to shifts in business models or dealing with family health issues. Embracing a 'heart hustle' has been pivotal in her pursuit of passion-driven work, illustrating the power of setting and achieving goals without stringent planning. Her narrative is a powerful reminder of the strength found in flexibility and the beauty of growth through life's unexpected turns.
Age is but a number, and Carey embodies this philosophy, challenging societal norms by seeing age as a superpower. We celebrate the accomplishments of masters runners over 40 and explore how embracing one's age can fuel new endeavors and lifelong passions. As we wrap up this conversation, I am filled with gratitude for the insights shared and urge you to embrace your true self, step outside your comfort zone, and pursue your dreams. Let Carey's journey inspire you to celebrate your whole picture and share it with the world.

Okay, hey y'all. Welcome back to Living the Whole Picture, the podcast where photography, business and inspiration collide. I'm your host, Jama Pantel, a luxury portrait photographer turned educator, author, influencer and dream chaser. And today on the podcast, I am so excited to introduce you to my friend, Carey. So we were talking just before this and I think we've known each other for about 10 years now, but if you can top our meeting in real life story, I dare you to challenge us and come at us with this.
Jama Pantel:So we started as Instagram friends. We both live in Texas. We met for the first time in real life on the side of a volcano during the Kauai Marathon. I was coming down, she was going up, she saw me, she called me out and I gave her the biggest hug during the marathon ever and then got to connect with her at the finish line when we finished and all the things. So if you've actually met somebody on the side of a volcano for the first time and stopped to give them a hug, I dare you to challenge that. I think we got you beat. Love it.
Jama Pantel:So I have followed Carey and her journey and her story for many years, like I said, and I think she is an impressive woman and I think y'all will agree like me, she's a fellow introvert, so I think sharing the stories of fellow introverts and how they got out into the world is huge. So I know you don't want to hear all this from me. You hear my voice in every other podcast. Let's hear from her. So hi, Carey, thank you so much for being here today.
Carey Pierce:Thank you for having me. I'm nervous but I'm excited this is going to be fun.
Jama Pantel:It'll be fun. We're just talking to friends, right? Exactly so, first of all, why don't you start with just telling us a little bit about yourself?
Carey Pierce:Okay, just telling us a little bit about yourself. Okay, that's always such a hard question, right, tell me about it. I would rather somebody, I would rather listen to somebody than talk about me. But, like, like Jama said, um, our story of how we met is so, so cool. Like, who can say they met somebody in real life on the side of a volcano, like and running a race? Yep, totally, totally cool.
Jama Pantel:And I forgot to mention she is a fellow big chicken. We both ran 26.2 that day and if you've ever run the Kauai marathon, you know that at the split off the little chickens go downhill for the half marathon. And, the big chickens turn uphill and keep going up for the full marathon. The crazier people in life turn to the right and go uphill for I don't know how many thousands of miles. So she is my big chicken.
Carey Pierce:Yes, yes. So if I refer to you as a big chicken, that is why, because we are big chickens together. So I'm just an online introverted beauty person. It's so awkward. So I've been in the social selling space now for, I think, nine-ish years and, like you said, we were talking before and you've kind of followed my journey. So that's kind of fun and exciting and kind of scary all at the same time, because you've seen me evolve over time and you know I think that it's just, I don't know, getting older like I'm almost 57 now, so hitting 50 and then moving beyond is just it's really freeing because you know you can let things go and just really start to embrace who you are as a person, and so that's just kind of what I've done as an introvert you have, and so I know and I've heard you say it before and this resonates and it resonates with a lot of people right, you can keep reinventing yourself and I know you entered this as a stage in your life where you were looking for something for yourself, right?
Jama Pantel:So tell us a little bit about you know how you got started with that and what was like. You know what switched in your mind like I need something for me, what am I going to do, type thing.
Carey Pierce:Yes, so it was basically about the time that my daughter I've got two grown kids now and my daughter graduated high school and I was like I spent all those years totally focused on her. My son is 11 years older than her, so he'd already moved out of the house and it was like, you know, you're at a crossroads. Do you want to go back to school? I'm this older person now. Do I want to go get a nine to five job?
Carey Pierce:I've been out of the workforce for so long, like it's scary, and so you know, it's that old story where somebody invited you to this meeting and and I joked about this earlier on on one of my social media stories that I did not know. It was like one of those opportunity calls like come in here about these products. Like I was so naive I didn't have a clue. Come and hear about these products. Like I was so naive I didn't have a clue. But that's kind of what started the whole thing. And yeah, here I am almost I think it's been eight to nine years now and it's just it's really helped me grow as a person.
Jama Pantel:And I have witnessed this transformation firsthand. I think when you do anything, any kind of business or anything else, showing up and showing up consistently is huge. So, as an introvert, explain to us like how you started showing up, showing up consistently and continuing to show up year, day after day, month after month, year after year, and kind of walk us through that evolution of like what shifted in your mind to basically make yourself show up.
Carey Pierce:Yeah, so the thing I've realized is that I'm very goal driven and so I think a lot of runners are the same way, like we love a challenge, right. So when I found the beauty industry, it it kind of ignited this passion in me. Not that I was, I'm not a girly girl, you know, I can go without wearing makeup. But helping people, I can go without wearing makeup, but helping people, helping people, fuel that passion. I am a mom. I've got that nurturing. I love helping people. That's what fuels my soul. And so when I got involved in network marketing, I got that adrenaline rush Like, oh my gosh, helping people makes me feel good and it makes them feel good and it's just this domino effect. And so that's what fueled me to keep going. And then you know the what is that?
Carey Pierce:There's a saying about something becoming a habit after you do it for so long. And it's like just constantly showing up became habit. That's just what I did, just like running you just run. It's not you don't think about it, you just do. That's just part of who you are. And so I just started showing up and little by little my business grew. I kind of came out of my shell more. I'm still so introverted, like totally introverted, but showing up to help others overshadows that scared introverted person in me.
Jama Pantel:Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to somebody like me and I say that often it's reframing and shifting the mindset right into. I'm not here to talk about me, although it feels like that. Right, we're in front of the camera, feel like we're talking about me, but we're not. We're talking about how we can help and how we can serve others, and I think you did an incredible job with that and showing up consistently and, like you said. So I can correlate a lot pretty much any analogy in life I can relate to running right, and I know we're both runners, I know we both do things Y'all.
Jama Pantel:She's getting ready to run the London Marathon. Yeah, so she's run several of the majors. She's run New York, she's run Chicago, those are the two right. So I've also got to follow her. She runs those. And if there's anything you need to know about a runner, it's that they've got grit and running's hard. And running a business is hard and showing up day in and day out is hard and it's messy, yet somehow, some way, we have the grit, the courage, to get up the next day and do it over and over again, and that's what I've seen in her. That's what I love about you and your story and so how long did it take you basically to a get comfortable, to like, how long would you say into like, pushing yourself to show up and goal driven Did it take to feel comfortable? Was there ever a shift in you where you're like OK, I got this, I made this, I'm here, I'm comfortable and stuff like that?
Carey Pierce:I think there are probably a couple of different shifts along the way. So there was one where it was like you know, when I started out, I was never going to go live and I was never going to show me. And having listened to your podcast earlier, I'm like I totally get that, like it is easier to show pictures of you and your family and your life, but to turn the camera around on you is it's so vulnerable and I mean it really isn't, but it feels that way. So there was a shift where I was like, okay, I'm just gonna do this, I'm gonna be on social media showing myself scared, shaky voice, all the things. And then that was probably gosh, a year, a year in, maybe before I got the courage to do that. I don't know. My memory is really bad, but so you know but it took a while.
Jama Pantel:It took a while, you talked yourself into it even though you were showing up yeah.
Carey Pierce:Yeah, and then, um, so if it's been eight years since I started, I would say when I turned 50, so six, almost seven years ago. Yeah, that would all make sense, right? 50 was very liberating and it's true, like it is freeing, and you're less worried about what people say about you, less what they think about you. You realize people are judging you regardless and, like you said, you know your people will find you. We are not for everyone, but our people will find us if we show up authentically. So from that moment on I was like I'm going to be me and every year I've gotten a little bit more. Every year I've gotten a little bit more comfortable with me and knowing that you know I don't talk eloquently, I say stupid things, I'm not perfect, I show up messy, I don't, I'm not a planner, I have all these things and it's like, but that's just me.
Jama Pantel:And so I want to be authentic about the challenges and the setbacks and the reinventing ourselves and all the things you said, something that I think is very, very true and something that I happen to agree with. You're like I'm going to show up as me. I can't be anybody else, right? I know personally in this like online world and stuff like that. You see what everybody else is doing, clearly, and stuff like that, and the temptation to try to be like somebody else or replicate a reel or somebody that went viral, like it's always there in the back of our minds, right. But I know for me personally, when I look at that and think that I was like, oh, that that's not me. It works for them, great for them. That's not me.
Jama Pantel:And so, again, I know you. I know you stay true to yourself the entire time, which is like what I admire about you, because I again I've you know, I've been in this influencer space and stuff too and I see a lot of stuff that I'm like I know this person in real life. And then I see this person on here and sometimes, you know not not quite jiving well or whatever and you were one of those people that I knew in person and I knew online and you were always the same person, and that's what made me stick with your journey.
Carey Pierce:Follow along and learn a lot, as you know.
Jama Pantel:I'm not a girly girl, right? I don't wear makeup, I don't do all the things, but then I'm sitting here listening to you. I'm like, oh, that resonates. I want to try that stick for my, which I'm going to get. I didn't get before I left, but I'm getting like.
Carey Pierce:I love that but.
Jama Pantel:I know you built your business up and you worked really really hard to build this business up. So how long did it take to get there? So, if y'all don't know, she's built her business into you know six figure business, which is huge and stuff like that, and network marketing and marketing any business. Like you know, when I did that in my business, it was huge. Right, that's a big milestone. We always like give ourselves and she did that, did that and got there. So how did you go about getting there? Like, again, knowing me, that was a goal I set in my mind. Was that like something? Yeah, so tell me about like, setting that goal, doing the work to achieve that goal.
Carey Pierce:Yeah, well, you know, like I said, I'm not really a planner, so I've always had big goals and I'm really bad at like people. You know they plan things out and and I'm like that's just not me. I just kind of wing it. So I just did what I do and I showed up consistently. Um, I stayed true to me, I, I shared the things I was passionate about and it grew. I was passionate about and it grew, it just grew, and you know it happens every day. It's not like all of a sudden, boom, you're there. So it's like those little things that you do on a daily basis get you to your goals.
Jama Pantel:So Did you have like set like I'm going to show up X times a week, like what, or did you was just when you felt like doing it.
Carey Pierce:I'm like I'm going to just show up like I'm, like I said it, my work schedule, my lifestyle is just like you, just do it, it's not a question. It's like this is part of my life, this is how I show up. I'm, I'm. I want to inspire people, I want to help people, but if I'm not showing them like, there's always that, that, that the quote, that like you have to have your open sign on, and so my open sign is on all the time. And my kids are grown, my husband works, so it's like this is my life. It doesn't feel like work to me, it's just who I am.
Jama Pantel:Yeah, and you know, I, I see a lot in the online space and stuff like that about like blasting side hustles and all these things like they're bad and they're bad. I was like, um, this isn't a side hustle, this is a heart hustle. Yeah, I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't love it, and I see that in you, right, like I again, I see that in you there aren't. You know, there are plenty of people that do it. There are people who are not and do it for the paycheck, and that's definitely not something you did. You showed up, you served and you did it admirably. Um, then I know there was setbacks. Right, there were setbacks, setbacks, staying authentic and coming back from the setbacks. So tell me kind of what you know, kind of the downward, like you knew something, some things were going to change. It was going down. You were determined to rise above. So tell us a little bit about that above.
Carey Pierce:So tell us a little bit about that. So the company that I was with for it was almost five years announced that they were changing the model of it and it was going to an affiliate model, which meant that the six figure income that I had worked on and built over over those five years was taken away. And so I just, you know it hit me hard. But the company that I loved for all those years, I couldn't, I couldn't just turn that off and be like, oh my gosh, you know I'm losing. So I just I took the high road, like I still love the company. Do I support what they changed, how they changed it? No, you know that.
Carey Pierce:You know there's all these things that happened that could have been done differently, but at the end of the day it is what it is. And so you, either you know, and so you either you know, let it go or embrace it and pivot. And so I chose to pivot. But what I didn't know was that this journey I had been on, let's see, for the last year had just kind of worked its way in to help me get over that loss. And so there was another opportunity that presented itself, and I'd been, I'd kept it on the down low for a while because it didn't at that time it didn't align with what I was doing as far as the team that I was growing and the people that I was helping, because I was always like, tried and true, you know one passion. You focus on that passion, not multiple. And so I held back on that one and it was such a blessing in disguise because it really it presented itself when I needed it and then I just like embraced it and now I'm focused, I'm still with company A, now I've got company B and I'm building a business there.
Carey Pierce:So, you know, sometimes life throws us curve balls, you know, and it's up to you how you respond to them. You know, some people don't handle it well but, like, at the end of the day, you just have to do what's right and trust your gut.
Jama Pantel:Yeah, yeah, and it makes total sense. You know, everybody has to pivot. Everybody has things like. You don't have as much as you want to be in control of things. You can't be in control of everything.
Jama Pantel:I pivoted with my business. I'm going full force. I built it up to a six figure business. I'm in the studio, I'm doing all these things and my mom was diagnosed with cancer, right, and so I stopped marketing. I stopped doing all the things because and you were with me when my dad was diagnosed with cancer five, six years before and I got sick and I couldn't do anything and I was bound and determined not to let that happen this time. So I stopped marketing and I stopped doing all those things and, um, I was very open about it this time versus the first time, when my dad had cancer and I never really talked about it. I was open about it. I was open with my clients about it. People were not happy with me about it, but I chose to do what I knew in my heart was the high road and the best thing to do. I couldn't be giving my whole heart to my business when there was a piece missing, dealing with my mom, exactly.
Jama Pantel:Yes and so those setbacks happen no matter what, and we have no as much as we say. We have control over X, y and Z. We I mean my business is my name and I have zero control over a lot of stuff that happens right and take the high road and all the things, and I think you did that with such grace, such excellence. And so now that you are building back up and doing all the things, have you, I mean, I'm guessing I know the answers to this, but is anything changed? Are you planning on doing anything different? Anything?
Carey Pierce:I think that I I'm a little bit more strategic this time around. The first time is, like you know, you kind of get a little scrappy and you might like, should I really do that? And this time around I'm like I'm going to stay true to myself and I'm going to watch what happens, and if I can do it again, I'm going to do it again, and if I can't, well, I'm going to do it again, and if I can't, well, I'm going to give it my best effort.
Jama Pantel:So um, yeah, intention. So I heard you say I'm going to do it intentional this time, yeah, which is huge. Um, I know a lot of people do words of the year and that you know stuff like that and it's so. I know I've actually seen several people and intention is one of theirs, so that makes total sense to go into it intentionally and stuff like that. So what do you have a word of the year? Like, what is it? Yeah, so share that with me. Share how you came to that, because all of this always fascinates me. Like, and what are your hopes for, like this year and beyond, and stuff like that, based on that.
Carey Pierce:Perfect. So last year my word was authenticity and it was like oh my gosh. So I feel like I've done this for the last six or seven years and that word is kind of like you mentioned in your podcast, what's your why? So I refer back to my word of the year. When things get low, when I had to pivot, like be authentic, that was the word, that was what I held to my, you know, held true to me, and so this year I got out my word list and it's like vision. Vision stood out to me. So my year, my word of the year for 2025, is vision, because I have a big vision for this year and so you know, I don't know what it is, but I'm going to work so hard to follow what I feel like is my path for this year.
Jama Pantel:I love that. That's a great word. Vision and I do a lot of things fly by the seat of my pants too right, there's a reason we've been friends for so many years. We just wing it.
Jama Pantel:Yeah just wing it and just show up and wing it. And I, even more so, love the fact that you said you don't know what that complete vision is, you don't know what it's going to be right. No, but I know, and you know that in your heart, in your gut, in your true self, you know that you'll reach that.
Carey Pierce:I do. I really feel that I do, because I feel like I have this passion and this trueness that is undeniable, like when you're so passionate, like your photography, you know we can feel the passion you have and the story from how it started with your grandma, like that just gives me chills every time and it's like that passion comes through in everything you do. And so I feel like when somebody finds their passion gosh, you're just unstoppable yeah, that is words of wisdom right there.
Jama Pantel:When you find your passion, you know what it is. You, you're unstoppable. And I have had the pleasure of taking pictures for Carrie. It was so fun. Again, you give me people in front of my camera. I will always be taking pictures. You know what I love passion, right, yeah, so so where do you see beyond? Do you see yourself just continuing to go with this? Do you see any more pivots, any more changes? Like, do you have a an ultimate, like goal and stuff like that is one. And then I have something else I want to ask you as well.
Carey Pierce:Okay, I don't you know. People ask like what's your five-year plan? And I'm like I don't know. I just I want to push and see what I can do, because everything I've achieved to this point has been well beyond what I ever imagined. So, like I don't want to set a limit, I'm just going to see what is possible. So the other thing I want to talk about, and this is huge.
Jama Pantel:There is not. Again, as an older generation, I'm, you know, closer to 50 and 40. Still a baby compared to you, right, but there aren't as many. I don't know if influencers are where, there's not. You know, we as women, and when we were younger, right, we were taught to be quiet, be the good girl. You know, we as women, in our and when we were younger, right, we were taught to be quiet, be the good girl. You know, do do all the things and stuff like that.
Jama Pantel:And so for a woman coming out and doing this and stuff like that, so when you're over 50 space, I for one think you are rocking it. So, and you embrace that, you dive full force into that. And again, one of those things women, you don't talk about your age, you're not asked about your age and all those things, right? Well, in what both of us do, I talk about it regularly to to inspire, not, yes, age doesn't limit you, right? So I personally look at you and I'm assuming you've had women over 50 who have come to you as an inspiration, as their inspiration and stuff like that. So tell me what made you, like, lean into, into that?
Carey Pierce:Yes, that is so awkward, but, yes, you know, it used to be like don't ask her age, and it's like, why not?
Carey Pierce:Like I don't know? I think it's so freeing and I, you know, your superpower is that thing, and that thing for a lot of women is the age, and it's like that's not a hindrance, like that's not your excuse, that is should be what fuels you, because I don't know, you're right, like the company that I was, that I'm still with, but it's kind of like my secondary now is it's really focused on young girls, and so it was always so empowering to me to represent this age group, like the over 50 age group, because we're not dead, we're just getting started, and it's like, come on, the kids are grown and gone. It's our time. And so, like, if I can inspire anybody to embrace your age, to get out there to try something new, like I didn't start running till I was 45. To get out there to try something new, like I didn't start running till I was 45. I am not athletic at all, but it's like now's our time to just try new things and and not be afraid of aging.
Jama Pantel:So and I love that. And, as you know, I was on another influencer team, run team, and I sought out the masters runners Like that's the thing in the running world. Masters runners, that's anybody over 40. And there were not that many of them and those are the people that I resonate with and wanted to hear more from and more about and more of their journey and stuff like that.
Jama Pantel:I was like a 20 year old doing stuff doesn't impress me. You're young, like I could do anything in 20. I was invincible. That impressed me. 30 year old doesn't impress me. You're young, like I could do anything in 20. I was invincible. Then impress me. 30 year old. I mean, I was, you know, pr in my late 30s. Like that's when, as runners, we tend to, you know, do our best and a lot of younger runners don't realize that. But that is if you look at all the research and I'm a researcher, that's when you master. Everything is late thirties, right. So I'm looking over 40 and into the masters and beyond. Are the inspirations to me the ones that are still going, still doing this?
Carey Pierce:I wholeheartedly admire that you still have the desire to run marathons, but I just finished one and I was like, oh, I don't want to do that. I was so bummed I didn't get into Sydney.
Jama Pantel:I know, I saw that I was like oh no, no, Sydney, It'll be next time, so my goal is to run all the majors. So it is a goal of yours to run all the majors, yeah.
Carey Pierce:My husband thinks I'm crazy, but I'm like I love a goal and it's like that is such a wild, crazy goal that why not?
Jama Pantel:It's crazy because you, my goal has been to run zero majors and I've stuck to it. I've run a lot of marathons. I've run zero majors, had zero desire to run zero majors, um, yet I still support and still love, like the marathon I ran three weeks ago had 128 runners. The marathons carry around 50,000. Yes, a lot. It's crazy and the introvert in me is like mind blown by those crowds and can't even wrap my head around like being in a corral with that many people. So she is the prime example of doing it and putting yourself out there, even when it's scary and daunting, and all all the things, and putting in the work to make it happen. Yes, yeah, is there anything else you want to share about your journey, about where you're going, about all the things?
Carey Pierce:I would just say that you know, just do it. So my, my mantra, my favorite quote of all time is you may see me struggle, but you'll never see me quit. And it's true, like, don't strive for perfection, just try, just struggle through it, because what happens on the other side of it is incredible, you know.
Jama Pantel:And I love this and I love that advice, and I do think this is where we, as masters, women, can inspire future younger generations. Because I know I was scared back then. I would have never put myself out there as a you know in my twenties, or even thirties, like that wouldn't have happened. So I do think us being willing to be vulnerable and share that it's still messy, even at our age, and we still don't know what we're doing. We're human. Yes, we still don't know what we're doing. We're still just winging life and winging everything else.
Jama Pantel:But it's working for us Exactly, it works Like it works. We're not like these 100% put together, like and I'm and I'm sure you've done it too, because I know you're the way you are as well but I mean, I look into this, I research these things, like I mean, if you see people online like selling and marketing and all these things right, and there's like do it this way, do it this way, and it's like there is no right way to do it, you do you boo. And that's what I've witnessed in Carrie's journey and why I wanted her on here. She remains so authentic and so herself throughout all of her growth and throughout the years, and it's only continued to show up and show up better and more herself and more authentic and put herself out there more, and I think that's a huge inspiration.
Carey Pierce:Thank you so much. I'm so glad you asked me. I was so, so nervous to do this. I almost didn't, because that's just the introvert in me. But I'm like but it's you, it's my big chicken.
Jama Pantel:So you can't tell me no, I can't tell you no, you can't tell me no exactly. And I appreciate you doing this because, again, I tend to surround myself with people like me right, introverts but I want to show the world, if I can, that just because you are an introvert doesn't mean you can't put yourself out there and stay authentic to who you are, and I think there needs to be more of that, and I know I am, I know you are. We're grateful to our extrovert friends who get us doing things that we would never do and saying yes to things we would never say yes to. But, at the end of the day, staying true to yourself, I think, is what resonates and what I think more people should put out into the world and stuff like that, and I think you do it expertly.
Carey Pierce:I think our introvert is our superpower.
Jama Pantel:Really it's us and there are a lot of us out there it's, it's us, and there are a lot of us out there, and so that actually at that said like. So when you deal with these women and you do it one-on-one right, clearly you put yourself out there for a huge audience, even though you feel like you're just talking to yourself, you recognize you have a huge following and everything else. Yet they come into your world one-on-one and that's where you shine and that's where you grow. These relationships with people is behind us, exactly yes yeah, I'm one-on-one.
Jama Pantel:We're good, but put me in a group and I'm going to be that shy person over in the corner not talking to anybody yeah, and so I'm assuming you're that way with all of your, the women you work with and everything else, and that's that is your superpowers, like bringing them that way and have. That's why they stick around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. So is there any? Where can they find you if they want to follow you? Again? She does beauty. She's in you know, beauty, skincare, makeup, like. She talks about all of that and doing it in very natural ways, which I also love. As somebody who doesn't do a lot. The natural speaks to me. So where can we find you? Where? How can we support you? What can we do for you?
Carey Pierce:Oh, thank you. So I'm on all the all the social media platforms you can find me. It's either Carrie Pierce Beauty or FitBeautycom or FitBeautyCarriePierce.
Jama Pantel:And I can get those for her and share them in the show notes so y'all can have them and have access to her. I know mentioning it to a few of my friends that I was going to interview you and they don't know you. They're like, oh, I want to hear this interview. They want the tips too, too, on how to show up authentically over and over again. Right, and I like how you broke it down just as simple. Um, you just do it, like you just do it. It is, it is what it is, and you just do it and like I can only say it so much. I want them to hear it from other people. Yeah, so any final thoughts or anything before we?
Carey Pierce:No, I just I'm so thankful for you. I'm so thankful that we met all those years ago and it's just been so much fun to watch you grow and grow your business and you know all the things.
Jama Pantel:Well, thank you so much for being on here with me today. Again, I know it was hard and I'm so glad you said yes, and you're absolutely right the only way we can grow is stepping outside of our comfort zone and pushing ourselves and doing these things, and that's what we both continue to do. So, yes, yes, thank you so much, thank you. I want to thank y'all again for tuning into living the whole picture. I hope you enjoyed today's episode and it left you feeling inspired and wanting to show up, whether it's behind the camera, in front of it, putting yourself out there in your business, in your life. Any way, you want to show up, show up as yourself and show up and share the whole picture. That's what you do and until next time, keep chasing those dreams and living the whole picture. Bye.
