Hi, I’m Carrie!
I’m so glad you’re here because I want you to know something important … God created YOU on purpose, for a purpose. No accidents. No filler people. No “God must’ve been multitasking that day” moments.
Your story matters. Your voice matters. And the world needs what God placed inside of you—even the parts you’ve tried to downplay, overthink, or wait until you’re “more ready” to share.

Why I’m so passionate about helping women live life to the fullest…
I’m passionate about my role at iBloom because I’ve seen what happens when women are deeply called by God—but hesitate to fully step into visibility. Not because they lack faith or potential, but because leading, sharing, and being seen can feel vulnerable and uncomfortable.
iBloom exists for women like this.
Throughout my journey, God has repeatedly reminded me that obedience often comes before confidence—and that clarity creates courage. When a message is stewarded well, it doesn’t just inform; it invites. It gives women permission to say yes to growth, healing, and leadership.
In my role as Marketing & Growth Strategist, I get to help carry the heart of iBloom into the world with intention and care. I steward our message so the women God is already stirring can recognize iBloom as a place where they belong—where they can grow, be equipped, and become who He’s calling them to be.
This work isn’t about hype or algorithms. It’s about visibility with integrity. It’s about creating thoughtful pathways that lead women from curiosity to connection to transformation. And it’s deeply personal—because I know firsthand how powerful it is when faith, clarity, and calling finally align.
My Favorite Things:
- Evening time with God (Bible open and journal absolutely required)
- Writing—especially when it turns into something holy, healing, or accidentally funny
- Deep conversations with women who love Jesus and want to grow
- All the SPORTS
- A well-planned week (color-coding is a love language, I don’t make the rules)
- Encouraging others through words—spoken, written, or posted online
- Cooking for people I love (Love is shown in a 9×13 dish)
- All the SNEAKERS
- Black Paper Mate Medium Flair pens
- Time that feels intentional, not rushed
- Chips & Queso
My Go-To Scriptures:
“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.”
Proverbs 31:25
(Laughter included. Fear not invited.)“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:7
(Yes, even when showing up feels scary.)“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
Zechariah 4:10
(A reminder for anyone waiting to feel ‘ready.’)
