In this powerful episode of STANDOUT by Notorious WMN, Paige Hernandez sits down with Corrina Carter, Founder & CEO of CMS Mortgage, to share one of the most honest, raw, and inspiring business journeys you’ll hear in the mortgage and entrepreneurship space.

After being fired as a single mom with two kids and no backup plan, Corrina rebuilt her life from the couch of uncertainty to leading a company now operating in 27+ states with more than 160 team members.

She opens up about the early years of survival mode, relying on friendship to keep the lights on, the fear of not knowing where the next paycheck would come from, and the exact mindset shifts that allowed her to scale with intention instead of chaos.

This conversation goes far beyond business. Corrina and Paige dive into women in leadership, building process-driven companies, why most businesses fail to scale, the emotional cost of entrepreneurship, and what it truly means to create “unreasonable hospitality” as a brand standard.

If you’re a business owner, team leader, single parent, or woman with big vision and real responsibilities—this episode is for you.
