Press play on power

Carrie, It’s Not That Serious is a women-led podcast created to connect, uplift and celebrate women who are building with purpose. Hosted by Carrie Hunter, the show is a safe, honest space for WIPs – Women in Power – to share how they’ve learned to get out of their own way, step into their strength and help others do the same. Each week Carrie sits down with thoughtful high impact women to talk about ambition, reinvention, wellness and women’s health, travel, women’s golf and the realities of modern womanhood – all with authenticity and a sense of humor. From powerful interview to relaxed “Cocktail Hour” conversations where nothing is off-limits, this is a place for meaningful dialogue, shared wisdom and real connection.

No filters. No scripts.
