In this episode, I’m joined by Audra Carrion, the founder of the Carry On Community and co-host of the Dear Chiefs Podcast. Audra is a fierce advocate for first responder families, helping them not just survive, but truly thrive.
But Audra’s impact goes far beyond that. As a mom of four and a proud wife to a first responder, she has become a powerful voice for exposing the often-invisible mental load women carry. Through her work, she champions the importance of community, self-care, and using social media with intention - focusing on purpose, passion, and authenticity.
Audra opens up about her journey, sharing her insights and the ways she’s making a positive impact in communities across the country. From supporting local businesses to empowering women and families, she emphasizes the value of honesty, connection, and combating loneliness with genuine relationships.
Tune in to be inspired by a story of resilience, self-awareness, and heartfelt advocacy.
