In this episode of "Behind the Glitz," I sit down with Carmen Ohling, a transformational life and leadership coach, whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Carmen faced her personal limitations and burnout head-on, and she’s here to share how she turned those challenges into opportunities for growth.

Carmen talks about the power of slowing down, taking time to reflect, and asking ourselves the tough questions that lead to a more fulfilling life. She’s a big believer in the importance of mentorship, attending conferences, and surrounding ourselves with people who are just as focused on growth as we are.

Throughout our conversation, Carmen emphasizes the need to prioritize our well-being and set clear priorities to overcome obstacles and reach our goals. She shares how disciplines and systems can actually bring more freedom into our lives. One of her personal tips? Planning your week based on energy rather than time. This simple shift can make all the difference in how we approach our days.

Carmen also highlights the importance of self-care and making time for deliberate play to avoid burnout and find balance. And if you’re looking for more tools and resources for your own journey, keep an eye out for her upcoming book—it’s going to be packed with insights.
