Carrie’s journey stems from a real-life experience; in this episode, she tells me about her motivation in creating her nonprofit organization. As a kid, Carrie had low self-esteem and was bullied, and those painful and rough pasts helped her to be on a mission. In 2011, she launched a nonprofit with a task that would elevate women’s self-esteem and help them improve because she thinks that if women have better role models, all women will be stronger, more united collective as women. She recently published her first book Unapologetically Enough and started her own publishing house.
Here is what you can expect from this episode:
About Carrie Severson:
Carrie Severson is the author of Unapologetically Enough and the CEO of a book publishing business she started after years of rejection by literary agents. She has been in the storytelling industry for nearly twenty-five years. She started the Unapologetic Voice House in 2019 after spending years pitching literary agents in the hopes of being published traditionally. All her rejection letters from literary agents came down to the same thing. They all loved the work.
They all compared the work to well-known authors. But because she didn’t have a big enough platform, agents always passed on her. Carrie used that pivot in life and launched a company that could help women just like her―unapologetic in their stories without a massive following. She’s married to her best friend and on her next soul quest to become the next version of herself.
