Most women aren't struggling because they lack discipline, knowledge, or willpower. They're struggling because no one ever told them about the corset.
It shows up in how they eat and how they feel about their bodies. But it doesn't stop there. It's in the pressure to perform, to be perfect, to hold everyone else together while quietly coming apart.
The corset is stitched together by the diet industry, the beauty industry, pharmaceutical companies, workplace culture, social media, and the impossible expectations placed on women to be everything to everyone. Every system profits when women believe they're a problem to be solved, and none of them were built to make you healthier.
They were built to keep you confused and dependent. They lace you into a corset and then blame you for not breathing.
You've been taught that exhaustion is normal, that shrinking is strength, and that peace, confidence, and freedom are waiting on the other side of finally fixing yourself.
That's the trap. And you can't change what you can't see.
From Corset to Crown is for women who are done being buried under pressure they never asked for. Each week, host Carrie Lupoli, behavioral transformation expert, Board Certified Nutritionist, bestselling author, and the woman they call the Crown Straightener, cuts through the noise with behavioral science, the real science of what your body needs, and the truth most people won't say out loud.
Because the healthiest version of you has nothing to do with a meal plan. It has everything to do with knowing who you are, what you want, and why you want it.
The crown was always there. It just needs straightening.

Are You Making Choices From Fear or Self-Worth? The 3 Cs Framework
Épisode 297
mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 27:52
Sometimes the pressure you're trying to escape at 40 started when you were just a child! In this episode, I share conversations with college students that revealed something powerful: the corset doesn't discriminate by age or gender. It can show up as pressure to build muscle, fear of rejection, the need for approval, or the urge to fit in even when it means betraying who we are.
I'll walk you through my 3 Cs framework to help you recognize outside pressure, reconnect with what truly matters, and make decisions aligned with your values.
Whether you're a college student, a parent, or someone still learning to trust yourself, this conversation will help you rethink what it means to find and hear yourself.
Conclusion
No matter our age, we don't have to earn our worth through approval, achievement, or fitting in. We can learn to trust ourselves, and make choices that reflect who we are. It's never too late (or too early) to recognize and challenge unhealthy beliefs we may have carried for years.
In This Episode:
- The corset starts long before adulthood
- The hidden beliefs that shape our self-worth
- Helping the next generation sooner
- Conversations with college students
- Peer pressure and making choices
- The 3 Cs: Corset, Center, Crown

You Don’t Have to Find Your Purpose. You’re Already Living It.
Épisode 296
mardi 13 octobre 2026 • Durée 28:30
Have you ever wondered, “What am I actually supposed to be doing with my life?” Maybe you’ve reached a goal you thought would give you clarity, only to find yourself asking the same question again.
For years, I thought my purpose was something I had to discover—a specific role, career, or destination. But what I eventually realized completely changed how I see my life: I don’t have to find my purpose because I’m already living it.
In this episode, I break down the four-part purpose cycle: calling, gifts, disruptive events, and reinvention. Every season of life gives us opportunities to serve others, develop new gifts, and grow through experiences that reshape who we are.
Conclusion
Even the difficult seasons can have meaning. A disruptive event may force us to see life differently, reinvent ourselves, and step into a new calling. When you understand the cycle, you can stop seeing life’s curveballs as chaos and start seeing them as part of your growth. You’re not lost. You’re becoming.
What If You Could Change Your Life Without Changing Everything?
Épisode 295
mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 40:44
How often do you wake up already overwhelmed by everything you need to do? The list starts before your feet even hit the floor: work, kids, appointments, errands, exercise, meals, messages, and somewhere at the bottom of that endless list is you.
The problem is not about having more time. Overwhelm happens when you don't prioritize intentional time with yourself. In this episode, I discuss the difference between operating from the corset (conditioning, comparison, chaos, and old beliefs) and operating from the crown of self-awareness, self-leadership, self-worth, and intentional choices.
I also share a simple morning practice to help you stop living on autopilot. It's built around three parts: gratitude, new learning, and reflection & planning.
You don't need hours or another complicated routine. What you need is a few minutes to slow down and think about your thinking, understand why you're behaving the way you are, and decide how you want to show up.
Conclusion
You don't need to completely disrupt your life to transform it. Sometimes the most powerful change starts with a few quiet minutes before the world gets your attention. Pause. Get grounded. Learn something new. Reflect. Plan. Have that daily staff meeting with yourself.
In This Episode:
- Why quick fixes don't create lasting success
- Why your brain keeps you stuck
- The difference between the corset and the crown
- Self-consciousness vs. self-awareness
- The power of morning time
- Three parts to Carrie's morning time routine
- A daily staff meeting with yourself
She Lost 55 Pounds, But That Wasn’t Her Biggest Transformation
Épisode 294
mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 35:21
What if the biggest transformation in your life seems to be the number on the scale? For years, Cindy believed her problem was her weight. She knew her hormones were off. She was carrying more weight than her body needed, and she had tried diet after diet to fix it. But underneath all of that was something she couldn't see yet: a deeply ingrained belief that she wasn't enough.
When Cindy took a self-love assessment, she scored negative 54, and that number became a wake-up call.
In this episode, Cindy and I talk about what happened when she stopped treating weight loss as the goal and started treating health, self-trust, and self-love as the foundation. We talk about the diet mindset she inherited growing up, the pressure of what women are “supposed” to look like, and how those beliefs can become so deeply embedded that we don't realize they're shaping the way we live.
Today, Cindy can look in the mirror and say, “I love myself,” and actually believe it. The woman who originally came to us to lose weight is now a certified nutrition and lifestyle coach, helping other women discover their worth and write their stories of freedom.
Conclusion
Your goal should be to become more fully yourself, not to become someone else. Health isn't about earning your worth. Weight isn't a measure of your value, and taking care of yourself isn't selfish. Sometimes straightening your crown means keeping your word to yourself, asking for what you need, setting a boundary, or simply remembering that you matter, too.
In This Episode:
- The negative self-talk Cindy thought was normal
- Living with chronic stress and a diet mentality
- The decision to finally advocate for herself
- Eating without counting or restricting
Why You Keep Going Back to Old Habits and How to Make Change Finally Stick
Épisode 293
mardi 22 septembre 2026 • Durée 38:16
What if the reason you keep going back to old habits has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with how your brain is wired?
We often think transformation starts with motivation. We get excited, commit to a plan, and promise ourselves that this time will be different. But motivation eventually fades. And when change starts to feel uncomfortable, our brains naturally pull us back toward what feels familiar, even when those familiar habits aren't serving us.
In this episode, I’m joined by my head coach, longtime friend, and someone who knows this work better than almost anyone: Deb Van Dusen.
Deb and I go way back. We were childhood friends who lost touch, then reconnected years later. She initially came to me looking for a body transformation. Today, Deb trains our coaches, develops our curriculum, and has spent nearly eight years studying behavior, change, women's health, and what helps transformation stick.
We also dive into one of my favorite metaphors for transformation: butterfly soup. When a caterpillar enters its chrysalis, it essentially dissolves into a soup before becoming something completely new. To become a butterfly, the caterpillar has to let go of what it was.
Conclusion
The butterfly doesn't become a butterfly by staying comfortable. Neither do we. Your crown has been there all along. But sometimes you have to be willing to get messy, question what you've believed, let go of the identity you've outgrown, and discover the woman underneath it all.
In This Episode:
- Deb’s journey from weight loss to life transformation
- When losing the weight doesn’t change how you feel
- Why we return to what feels comfortable
When Wellness Becomes Another Source Of Pressure
Épisode 292
mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 51:22
We spend so much time trying to fix ourselves–changing how we look, buying products, following wellness trends, taking supplements, and searching for the next solution. But what if our bodies are far more intelligent than we give them credit for?
In this episode, I’m joined by Warren Phillips, the Non-Toxic Dad, for a conversation that goes deeper than toxins in food, clothing, and homes. We explore the connection between physical toxicity and the beliefs that can disconnect us from who we are. Because whether it’s a chemical toxin or a belief that tells us we aren’t enough, the result can be the same.
Warren shares his journey of becoming sick through environmental exposure and then spending years studying detoxification, eventually helping others reconnect with their biology.
Our conversation takes the idea of the “corset” beyond appearance. We talk about the cultural conditioning, beauty standards, products, relationships, and beliefs that can disconnect us from our bodies and our sense of self.
Creating a healthier environment doesn't mean you have to change everything overnight. Start with one percent, listen to your body, and continue building your own blueprint for the healthiest version of you.
Conclusion
Becoming healthier is about reconnecting–with our bodies, with nature, with our intuition. And reconnecting with the woman we actually are underneath all the expectations about who we're supposed to be. Remember, your body is not your enemy. You are not broken. Your crown is not broken. Sometimes you just need to stop fighting your biology and start working with it.
In This Episode:
- Warren’s journey into non-toxic living and environmental health
- How everyday toxins can affect your health
You Don’t Need To Fix Your Body To Be Worthy
Épisode 291
mardi 8 septembre 2026 • Durée 41:35
Sometimes the number on the scale keeps distracting you from what actually matters. For years, women have been taught to measure their health by weight, appearance, and perfection, but true health is about how you feel, how you show up, and whether you are taking care of yourself from a place of self-worth.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kellyann Petrucci, a board-certified naturopathic doctor, New York Times bestselling author, and weight-loss and anti-aging expert, for a conversation that goes far beyond food. We talk about aging, confidence, comparison, identity, and what it means to make health choices from the crown instead of the corset.
We explore how the habits we build can either come from fear or from a genuine belief that we are worth caring for. The goal should never be about just losing weight. The goal has to be about becoming the healthiest, strongest, most aligned version of yourself.
Conclusion
Health is not about punishment or perfection. It’s about choosing habits that allow you to show up fully for your purpose, your family, and your future. The number on the scale doesn’t determine your value. The way you choose to care for yourself does.
In This Episode:
- The corset, the crown, and redefining self-worth
- Why health is about more than weight loss
- How Dr. Kellyann pursued her calling
- Balancing success, aging, and the pressure women carry
- Breaking free from comparison and the scale
- Health as a vehicle for purpose and a meaningful life
- Choosing self-worth over chasing perfection
- Making informed choices in the wellness industry
Are You Living The Life Someone Else Chose For You?
Épisode 290
mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 40:19
What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn’t your body, your habits, or even your circumstances, but the story you keep telling yourself about who you are?
In this episode, I’m having a conversation with my good friend Courtney Townley, keynote speaker and author of The Consistency Code. We’re pulling back the curtain on our upcoming From Corset to Crown event, but more importantly, we’re talking about the deeper work women have to do when they’re ready to stop outsourcing their identity and start leading themselves.
We get into the stories that feel true simply because we’ve heard them for so long, the difference between doing something from the corset versus the crown, and why taking a risk can be the very thing that builds confidence, self-trust, and a more alive version of your life.
Conclusion
The stories we tell ourselves can become so familiar that we stop questioning them, but too often those statements are not facts. Your identity is not fixed. It is shaped by what you practice. Every time you choose self-leadership, take a risk, try again, or do something that scares you, you are practicing becoming someone new.
In This Episode:
- Why we are doing this: our shared perspective
- Redefining health through identity, purpose, and self-leadership
- The power of being in a room with women who are changing the conversation
- Learning to lead yourself while still accepting support
- The “truthiness” stories that keep women stuck
Stop Living For Approval And Start Choosing For Yourself
Épisode 289
mardi 25 août 2026 • Durée 26:16
What if knowing what you want is actually an act of self-worth? As women, we’re often taught to look outside ourselves for the answers: what we should wear, how we should look, what we should buy, and even what we should want.
In this episode, I’m having a very different kind of conversation with Rachel Moscaritolo and Amanda Watkins, the women behind Bespoke by A+R, about jewelry, entrepreneurship, empowerment, and what happens when you stop letting other people tell you what you want.
Rather than starting with what is available in a traditional retail store, Rachel and Amanda begin by understanding the individual–her lifestyle, preferences, and what she actually wants. That idea connects directly to my From Corset to Crown message–moving away from pressure and approval and toward self-trust and knowing who you are. I also share the deeply personal story of losing my wedding rings in the ocean and the realization that came from it.
Conclusion
Losing my rings initially made me feel shame and guilt. But when I found them, I realized the rings weren’t truly lost. I just needed to know where to look. And I think so many women need that reminder. You are not lost. You don't need to earn your self-worth. Your value is already within you, and you only need to "find" it.
In This Episode:
- How two women turned an idea into a business
- Why traditional jewelry shopping can feel stressful and intimidating
- Starting with what you want instead of what you’re told to want
- How social media and comparison influence our choices
- The story behind Carrie’s lost wedding rings
- Understanding value, trust, and the jewelry industry
- Why the lost rings became a powerful lesson in self-worth
The Cost Of Abandoning Yourself During Difficult Seasons
Épisode 288
mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 34:38
What happens when life changes direction and suddenly the things that once felt easy become impossible?
A lot of women believe that when life gets stressful, overwhelming, or unpredictable, taking care of themselves has to go on pause. They wait for the storm to pass before they start showing up again.
But life will always bring changing winds. The question isn’t whether you keep sailing–it’s whether you know how to adjust your sails when conditions change.
In this episode, I’m sharing the exact framework I use with my private clients to help them continue caring for themselves through every season of life, from stormy waters to favorable winds, without abandoning who they are in the process.
Conclusion
There will be seasons in your life where there’s more space to grow and seasons for rebuilding, but there will be seasons where everything feels overwhelming. Just like when the wind shifts on a sailboat, you don’t panic or stop moving. You adjust your sails and continue forward.
In This Episode:
- Why life’s challenges are not a sign that something went wrong
- Understand the three fundamentals of self-care
- Navigating stormy waters: Preserve your energy
- Navigating headwinds: Simplify and protect what matters most
- Navigating steady waters: Build strength, habits, and resilience
- Navigating favorable winds: Expand and create more impact
