Carrie Lehtonen

Carrie's second chance at life came at 31 years old when a blood clot in her coronary artery resulted in a myocardial infarction. As a healthy triathlete in the prime of her life, Carrie was the last person anyone would suspect of having heart disease. After 18 years of experience in Human Resources, Carrie chose to pursue a second career in health and wellness to help people find their path to better health and live inspired lives. Carrie is committed to reducing the impact of heart disease, and loves seeing people light up when they learn something new, challenge themselves beyond what they think they are capable of, and tap into their passion.

Carrie is the founder and president of Firefly Community LLC. Carrie created Firefly because she believes that what the world needs most is for each and every person to uncover his/her passion. We all have a unique gift, and it's Carrie's mission to help you ignite your inner light so that you can shine!
