My Best Decisions: California, Kids & Religion | Carmen Talk

Every once in a while, it’s good to step back, take stock, and look at the choices that shaped your path - especially when you're feeling the squeeze of modern stress and just trying to focus on what you love. In this episode of Carmen Talk, I'm breaking down three of the biggest, most pivotal decisions I've ever made that I have zero regrets about: California: Why moving across the country to Los Angeles wasn't just a change of scenery, but finding where I was always supposed to be (and why this state deserves way less hate). Kids: Why choosing not to have children was the right path for me, and why we need to normalize the honest, complicated reality of parenting. Religion: How letting go of institutional dogma and heavy religiosity helped me build a deeply personal, healthy relationship with the universe (and why my mom's advice back in the 70s changed everything). At the end of the day, if you make decisions using the best information you have in front of you, you can walk forward without regret. Let's keep walking this journey together.
