  • Episode 46: With Special Guest Suzanne Hite
    Mar 3 2026

    In this episode of The Experiment, we’re joined by Carrie’s longtime friend Suzanne Hite, an experienced yoga teacher and physical therapy assistant for a conversation about what it looks like to make small, intentional shifts in everyday life.

    Marybeth shares about experimenting with space, navigating the transition now that basketball season has ended and noticing what opens up when a full schedule suddenly slows down. Carrie reflects on a small but telling experiment: upgrading on a flight home from Florida, and what it stirred around worthiness, comfort, and receiving. Suzanne talks about her current experiment with a macro-focused eating plan, exploring how reducing it to a math equation creates structure and awareness.

    Together, we explore how seemingly practical experiments—food, travel, time, routine—often uncover something deeper about identity, balance, and self-trust.
