BIOGRAPHY

Carrie is an author of Unapologetically Enough: Reshaping Success & Self-Love and the Chief Executive Officer of the Unapologetic Voice House, a hybrid book publishing business. Carrie has created several successful businesses, always putting her career first in search of external validation. She's a media darling, featured on more than 300 TV segments for her community work in Phoenix. When she turned 35, she surrendered to burnout and had to take a good, long look at her life as a single woman without her own children. She wrote Unapologetically Enough about her journey. 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 compared her 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 her business. She can be reached at www.UnapologeticallyEnough.com.
