#146 Chatting to Carolyn Parker

Today I'm chatting to Carolyn Parker, Author.

We chat about Carolyn's journey into writing, her surprise Special Award win at the Woman Who Solopreneur Awards 2023, and receiving a standing ovation after sharing her story on stage at the Woman Who Solopreneur Awards 2024.

Carolyn talks about how she started her writing journey by sharing her own very personal story. She wrote about her firsts and sadly, her naivety, the challenges she faced and how she came through this period in her life with the aim to help others realise that they're not alone and can move forward . This kickstarted Carolyn's journey into writing.

 

We also chat about how Carolyn started her speaking journey and her standing ovation.

 

Carolyn is a huge advocate for other women, championing their success and giving encouragement, hence her Special Award win.

Carolyn's wording for her Special Award win:

"A surprise Award presented to someone who has shown resilience and a positive attitude, totally embodying Woman Who values and inspiring others within the Woman Who Achieves Community."
