Carrie Sanders was born in small New York town seventy miles north of NYC. The daughter of a police officer turned farmer, her first job consisted of tending to alpacas, flinging hay bales and conducting business with a handshake. Now a retired Navy Officer, Carrie puts the experience of farm life and twenty years of military experience to excellent use in all her endeavors in and out of the home.
Carrie is a dedicated Homeschooling mom who puts faith and family first. Whether it is studying botany at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens or bioluminescence while chasing fireflies, she is passionate about making learning fun for her daughters. Working from a family vision board, the Sanders family Matriarch is making her family goals become reality. From her firstborn’s desire to visit Paris to her baby girls’ wish to section hike the Appalachian Trail, Carrie is dedicated to helping others make the most of their precious life.
Continuing a life of service instilled very young, Carrie is passionate about the fight against human trafficking and is the Director of Innovation of the Safe House Project, a 501(c)3 that is dedicated to building and sustaining safe houses across the world.
A work-from-anywhere entrepreneur in the health and wellness field, Carrie has coached hundreds of people towards their fitness goals. Her clientele has included firefighters, stay-at-home moms, NASA Wallops Island professionals and many others.
Dedicated to her own daily self-improvement and personal growth, Carrie is also committed to helping others become the best versions of themselves. She encourages others to approach life with an open mind and is always ready to take a chance on a new opportunity as long as it aligns her strong values and will broaden smiles. Her passion comes across whether she is speaking to a group of two or two hundred. Overcoming life challenges and never letting an opportunity pass her by has contributed to a diverse career and exciting, unfolding life story.
PASSIONS
FAMILY
Presently in the beautiful and significant position of being wife and mother to my husband and daughters is a blessing. My daughters deserve a mother who loves their father well and leads them with intentionality, strength and grace. The example I set will reflect for generations and I intend for my legacy to be an impactful one.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Having struggled for years with my weight and self-image, I took it upon myself to change my own health and well-being so that I can be the example first to my family and then to others on how to live a life of balance. There is so much misinformation about diets and lifestyle. I am passionate about helping quiet the noise and empower others to truly understand the way their body was designed to operate for optimum wellness.
ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING
My daughters live a relatively untroubled life, free to explore and grow and play. As a fully aware mom, I cannot sit idly by with the knowledge that approximately ten children a day in our country are lured into sex trafficking where their innocence is stolen and their well-being ignored. Every child deserves a chance to be free and I commit my effort to rescue those in need.

Every child should have the chance to be free.
