In this episode, we're joined by Carrie Severson. Carrie is the author of Unapologetically Enough and the CEO of a hybrid book publishing business. She started her publishing business 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 massive following. She’s married to her best friend and on her next soul quest to become the next version of herself. She can be reached at UnapologeticallyEnough.com
