Barrett has strong faith, and she opened up about this in an interview with Niagara Falls Publications. “Well, anybody that’s a fan of myself and my husband, they would know that we're very faith-based people; that we love the Lord Jesus very much. And we do really base our life around the Bible. And so, we are big followers of Christ, and really do what we do to glorify God and the gifts that he's given us. I think he's gifted me with a voice. And I think he's gifted my husband in other ways, which is why we do music together.”

2. She Works Hard

Barrett has been working hard since she was young. She revealed to Niagara Falls Publications that her parents helped her develop this attitude. “I'm originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I have two very hard-working parents who have always had multiple jobs my entire life. So, I think my parents definitely instilled a hard-working characteristic in myself, as well, and I don't take things for granted. And I know that people would die to be doing what I do, and be able to do this job.”

3. She Ate Healthy

After having her first child, Barrett revealed in an interview that she started eating healthier. “I don’t know, I guess being a mom…I really haven’t gotten the chance to, like, eat all the junk food that I was eating,” she says. “So I guess it really just cut [the weight] out in my face and all around the place! I thankfully was able to kind of like shed some weight quickly and get off all the baby weight and I feel good. I dunno, I’m thankful for that — that my body kinda was able to snap back and be healthier than it was before, even after having a baby, and quickly, after that. So I can thank, I guess, my 21-year-old metabolism for that!”

Wright opened up about her weight loss and getting healthier to Soap Opera Digest in 2016. She says that she got in touch with a fitness coach. “For six months, I’d feel better and then get sick again. I was still really struggling with the end of my marriage [to John Wright, her spouse of 21 years] — feeling better about it, but probably not really dealing with it. And I thought, ‘I have to do something.’ There was a girl I’d seen a lot on my friends’ [social media] pages, a Beach body coach. I reached out to her and said, ‘I need to make a major change in my life.’”

2. She Kept Herself Accountable

In her Soap Opera Digest interview, Wright revealed that her coach had her post workout photos on Facebook each day. She says that this helped her stick with the workouts and motivate her. “My coach had me showing up to a Facebook page to post after-workout pictures and that accountability really got into my head,” she explains. “The workout is only 30 minutes a day and no matter how late I worked, I worked out. If I got home at 8:30 or 9 at night, I worked out and posted that picture. If I had to be at work at 6:30, I was up at 5 doing my workout and posting. I was like, ‘This really works!’ Then I thought, ‘Every workout works. So why did this click in differently for my brain?’ And it was the coaching page, the community.”

3. She’s Positive

Wright is all about having a positive mindset, as she thinks this helps get her through rough times. She shared her mantra in an interview with FBJ Fit. “Whenever I am facing anything challenging, I tell myself, ‘I can handle this. I got it!’ I passionately believe that you are what you say you are. If you say you feel tired and terrible all the time, then that is your reality. Being grateful, and taking responsibility for your thoughts and actions, gives you the power to create the life you want. Much like the character of Carly, I really try to tune into and trust my instincts!”

4. Wright Has Found Acceptance in Herself

Wright has found acceptance in herself, and talked about this on Instagram. “This 23-year-old was ashamed of her body and thought if she could lose 10 more pounds she would be perfect and worthy of love,” Wright wrote in the caption. “She wasn’t focused on the things she loved, just on being skinny enough to be loved. Every day, all day long, these were my thoughts. 30 years later I’m finally discovering how beautiful life is. How grateful I am for a body that has been with me and taking care of me for 51 years. And how much fun life can be when you decide to live! Not sure why I decided to share this today. I just got this picture last night and wanted to hug this young girl and tell her how amazing she is.”

Sweeney likes to weight train to stay in shape. “In addition, at least once a week, I do a day of circuit training with weights,” she told People. “It helps me maintain muscle tone. My schedule is so busy all the time, so I can’t hold myself to specific times or a firm schedule, but these are my goals and I do the best I can.”

5. She Tracks What She Eats

Sweeney revealed to People that she makes sure to track what she eats, as it helps her maintain a healthy diet. “I know all about hitting plateaus and how frustrating they can be.

6. She Does Short, Intense Workouts

Sweeney has a busy schedule, but she always makes sure to stay in shape. She tells People that when she doesn’t have a lot of time, she does really intense workouts. “I’ve learned that I get a good intense, short workout by running sprints on the treadmill. It’s not always about distance – a workout is about the intensity you put into it. So when I don’t have a lot of time, I really focus my energy and go really hardcore – run 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for several minutes. Then I do a similar intensity doing burpees (pushup, jump to your feet, and then jump in the air, then back down to pushup).”

7. She Keeps Her Kitchen Stocked

Sweeney revealed to New Beauty that she likes to keep her kitchen stocked with healthy foods. “Preparation is key. I don’t have time every day to wash fruit, chop vegetables or go to the market, so I really focus on having only healthy options readily available, from stocking my refrigerator with great fruits and raw vegetables to having raw nuts in the pantry and planning ahead as much as possible. Salads are always satisfying and easy to prepare, so those are a definite go-to.”
