What happens when you dedicate two decades to raising your kids—and then decide it’s finally your turn?
In this episode, I sit down with C.M. Wyllie, a retired stay-at-home mom turned indie author whose story is equal parts powerful, emotional, and inspiring. From battling breast cancer and writing her first nonfiction book (Chemo Pissed Me Off), to turning her children’s silly nicknames into a published book series, to now chasing her dream of writing spicy new adult romance, Carol proves it’s never too late to go after what’s on your heart.
We talk about:
💡 How she pivoted from nonfiction to children’s books to romance
💡 The lessons cancer taught her about resilience and creativity
💡 Marketing tips for indie authors (and why your audience matters more than numbers)
💡 The importance of showing up authentically on social media
💡 What being a “money hungry mama” means to her
If you’ve ever felt like your dreams had to wait, this conversation will remind you that your story isn’t over—and the best chapters might still be ahead.
