Carrie Myers, M.S. has been in the health, wellness, fitness, and personal development fields for over 35 years. She's worked in a variety settings, including gyms, studios, corporate, and clinical as an exercise physiologist, personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and yoga instructor.

As a stay-at-home homeschooling mom, Carrie began freelance writing after the birth of her fourth son and soon saw her work published in national consumer and trade publications. Her first book, Squeezing Your Size 14 Self into a Size 6 World: A Real Woman's Guide to Food, Fitness, and Self-Acceptance won a MIPA award in 2004.

Carrie is also a seasoned instructor and presenter, empowering women to take responsibility for their lives, including their health, relationships, and dreams. She has a B.S. in exercise science and health education, and an M.S. in health psychology. She's also a certified health and life coach, and certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.

While degrees and certifications certainly add to her credentials, Carrie feels that her life experiences matter more. She thanks God daily for allowing her to use her mistakes and failures to help empower other women to be who He created them to be, because she knows all the education in the world can't make up for real-life experiences.
