In 2012, Crist started a new Halloween Costume business in St. Petersburg, Florida called Goddessey, L.L.C., which she sold in early 2017.

During her husband's 2016 campaign for Congress, Carole Crist served as acting Campaign Director, and played a significant role in raising money. Stated Charlie Crist: "She's a great woman, my best friend, smart, loyal and driven and plays an integral part in this campaign."
