Imperfect Progress with Alyssa and Carlie
Imperfect Progress is your companion on the journey to a more intentional, purpose-driven life. Hosted by two women navigating growth in real time—not from a place of having it all figured out, but from exactly where we are.

We’re showing up, embracing the messy middle, and taking one imperfect step at a time.
