Find Your Path audiobook

Dear Carrie and anyone thinking about reading ​Find Your Path,​As a Christian, wife, mother, author, teacher, and runner, I want to say THANK YOU to Carrie Underwood for this phenomenal book. Yes, it arrived yesterday and I read every bit of it before bedtime. That says a lot with my hectic schedule.Carrie does an amazing job of keeping it real, not making excuses, focusing on what you enjoy and moving forward. I love the Fit52 philosophy and truth be told, I’ve been on the struggle bus since my last half marathon in November. I just wasn’t feeling the same ole morning routine- get up before work at 4:30, run to the dang fire station uptown and head home to start the day. Those 5 miles were turning into something else on my list and were dreadful even if I LOVE the girls I run with. So, I did what I needed to do. I took a break, enjoyed sleeping until 6:30 when I’d frantically jump out of bed, hurry Carlee to get ready and fly out the door. Guess what y’all? That’s not working either. Not to mention, I’m dreaming all the time and can tell you all about them. Did y’all know that angelica root is a evade vampires? For real! That’s what my brain is doing at night.This book isn’t a fix all, but it is one to show that even with a hectic everyday mama life you can move more, make better choices, and feel like you aren’t alone. For me, this has been my struggle since I sub 2 my first half marathon, ran a full a year later and didn’t BQ as expected, and within a month was diagnosed with Mold Toxicity due to my classroom environment which left me barely able to run a mile. But y’all know I don’t give up easily, and I pushed to run the half this past November and shocked a few folks that I survived those 13.1. (It wasn’t easy and it was the hardest race I’ve ran in my life because I’m still on the mend.) I had Find Your Path and another health book, Run to the Finish, both arrived together yesterday. Knowing that Carrie is strong in her faith, one of my favorite country music stars, and puts her family first, I dove in. It filled my cup in more than one way, and the funniest part is that during my struggles, I wrote a book that my agent, Stephanie, has been shopping. This book focused on allergy friendly foods, the rat race to keep up with social media, always being perfect, getting tired of the same ole crap day in and out, but it also shows what happens when you get outside and notice the little moments in life. It really made me think about what Carrie talks about in Find Your Path. Get outside, enjoy the moments you have to move, be present with who matters most, and it hit home. Now, the funny part of this is… In this novel, the main character has to run in Nashville and who ends up running beside her in this race? You guessed it, Carrie. I couldn’t help but get tickled. I tell you this not to push my books (but if Harper Collins wants to reach out I’m game. LOL,) but to show that she’s as true and genuine as I believed and imagined. Carrie Underwood is a strong role model in my house. My daughter, Carlee, adores her and this mama does too! I won’t ever forget Carlee’s face when she received tickets for her birthday to travel to Nashville to see her perform for the second time. She saw her previously in Charlotte, NC when she was 4. It’s by far been one of the most memorable concerts for our family… and we’re some country music concert fools. LOLCarrie, thank you for pouring your heart out with your struggles that we all face because in this world, we need to know we aren’t alone. Your kindness and faith shine through in everything you do. I admire your ability to keep your family life private and be the best mother and wife you can for your family. You truly are an inspiration to this mama who at one point thought she had to do all the things, but has realized life is more enjoyable when you fill your cup, spend some time with God, get outside, and spend the little moments with the ones that matter most.​With Love and Mason Jars,Casey

This book wasn’t anything earth shattering, but I loved it just the same and read it in less than 24 hours! I’m a big fan of Carrie’s, so I loved this inside peek at part of her life. It was organized well and covered all aspects of fitness; it would be an amazing resource for beginners to this lifestyle. It also has helpful journaling prompts and she so cleverly named the chapters of this book after her songs. While she has a slightly-obsessive take on fitness, and I have eased up since previously living that way (which is right for my body), she still had some great reminders, especially as I’m going through wedding body prep!

I absolutely adore Carrie Underwood. I feel like she is one of those people who has stayed true to who she is. She is an amazing singer, entrepreneur, mother and is strong in her faith. I love her dedication to being strong and healthy, and heck....who doesn't want her legs???? I think that this book came at the perfect time that I needed to hear a few of the things that she said. After doing Keto for over two months, I had been looking for ways to come off and try to figure out what I wanted to do. I know the statistics of restrictive diets and that the extremes aren't really sustainable. Carrie shares some of her earlier diets and failures and the way that she eats and works out now. I think if Carrie Underwood can eat carbs, so can I. I love her approach that there are birthdays, holidays, social events that you want to attend and enjoy and you should...but that you should also be healthy most of the time and make the best decisions you can. That you need to be healthy 52 weeks of the year, but don't have to be perfect every day.

Very inspiring, beautiful pictures and full of practical advice on how to take better care of your body! I don’t think Carrie’s approach to health and fitness would be everyone’s cup of tea - she is very disciplined, but I’m already noticing benefits from taking a few leaves out of her book!

Carrie Underwood is health/fitness GOALS. I loved all of her tips/tricks for working out and eating healthy. Highly recommend this one to anyone wanting to start working out or someone who is already doing it consistently. We all have room for improvement and Carrie sheds light on this in a real-life-down-to-earth way that is so Carrie Underwood. I also can’t wait to try some of her recipes (and buy her cute workout clothes!)

A really insightful book about Carrie Underwood’s fitness and health regime. Man, she is so talented and athletic to boot! I like how she said that fitness is her antidepressant/anti-anxiety medication for her. I feel like that too with fitness! She brings up some great points about being derailed in one’s fitness or diet regime: even you get derailed that you need to do some self-talk to get back on your path! Don’t just let your derailment make you give up on your path. As someone who struggles with consistency within diet/fitness, the book’s advice and insight will help me to stick with my fitness/health regime! Filled with recipes, Carrie Underwood’s personal examples on dieting, exercises and her relationship with health and fitness— along with her trainer’s and nutritionist’s advice—you will not be disappointed in this book if your looking to enhance or improve your health. ❤️

3.5 starsI'm not a huge country music fan, but I do like Carrie Underwood and I love reading about health and fitness. Nothing in this book was mind-blowing. I don't know that I'll ever do Carrie's Fit52 workout (didn't sound like my thing), but I did enjoy reading about the health choices Carrie makes and being encouraged to up my health game again. I actually liked the segments by Carrie's trainer and nutritionist best!I also appreciated that Carrie included the variations her husband Mike uses with her recipes. Although I do eat vegetarian meals frequently, I will be much more likely to try more of the recipes with non-vegan options, too. (Especially since I personally avoid soy and thus tofu, which is one of her standard ingredients.)

Picked this up at my library on a whim. I'm not a self-help reader, but figured it would be interesting learning about her health and fitness journey. I saw her perform at the Opry during her pregnancy, and admired the strength she showed. While I didn't agree 100% with some of her philosophies, as she is fortunate to speak from a place of financial privilege, I still thought the structure and point of her book was very clear. Tabbed some recipes I look forward to trying as well!

I loved this book! I loved hearing her story, her journey and all the tips and tricks for staying healthy! I thinks she's got things pretty well figured out for herself, which makes me super motivated to get to work figuring out my own path!!

I love hearing how Carrie Underwood balances a healthy lifestyle on top of her crazy schedule. She gives us great reminders of how important it is to love our body and how to take care of it. It’s fun to hear from her personal trainer and nutritionist and their tips on staying healthy.
