How We Got Started

Building Upward was born from Carrie Marie Vaughn’s personal journey of healing and empowerment. After facing a health crisis and being told medication was her only option, she chose a different path... one rooted in natural wellness, faith, and self-discovery. Through holistic tools like targeted supplements, mindful practices, and deep personal work, she not only reversed her prognosis but also experienced a total transformation in her mindset, energy, and purpose.

That journey inspired her to help others do the same. What began as a personal mission soon grew into a movement... supporting individuals, teams, and organizations in breaking free from stress and overwhelm to live healthier, more empowered lives. Today, Carrie Marie offers coaching, courses, group experiences, corporate trainings, and wellness products, all grounded in her belief that lasting transformation starts from within.
