Thirteen years ago, I quit my steady job as a nonprofit program director to grow my first successful business as a copywriter and (eventually) achieve my goal of writing a published book.

I’d dreamed of being a writer and author since I was six, but I felt so guilty about leaving my job and letting beloved people down. What looked like growth for me looked like loss for them.

Community members frowned and told me they’d miss me and they were very sad.
Colleagues asked lots of questions; a few even begged me to stay.
My direct supervisor literally broke down in tears when I told her the news.

At times I felt so guilty and afraid of losing their love that I could barely breathe! It was a struggle, but I made it to the other side and built a new life.

A decade later when my first book, You Don’t Owe Anyone, came out, I faced an even bigger fear: losing my family’s love and approval. Since the book recounts some traumatic times, I knew it would be a tough read for my family.

The number-one question I got from readers and interviewers was: “How did your family react, and how on earth did you put this out there, knowing they would read it?”

It wasn’t easy. For a while there, I thought that publishing the book might lead to family estrangement. Thankfully that didn’t happen, but facing up to that huge fear changed me.

Since then, I’ve learned so much about how to build the inner strength to stay true to who we are and what we want, even when we face confusion, dismay, or outright disapproval from the people closest to us.

Is that your biggest challenge, too? Are you asking yourself …

• How do I make the needed changes without upsetting others?
• I don’t want to hurt people, but I want to tell my story, what do I do?
• How do I live my truth if I’m scared to lose people?

The bad news is, you probably can’t make the needed changes without upsetting anyone.

The good news is, you can grow your confidence to the point where you KNOW you’ll be fine even if they freak out.  

That’s what I learned how to do, and over the past seven years, I’ve coached hundreds of clients to do the same.

Let’s work together to go from “I can’t rock the boat” to, “I’m going after my goals.”

Join me on Wednesday, August 14th at 11am CDT to begin.

We’ll do a group call first, then a Bonus Visioning Call where we’ll work one on one to create a customized plan just for you.

Join me LIVE on Wednesday, August 14th from 11am – 12:30pm CDT.

I’ll share the exact tools and strategies to help you pursue your own path with confidence (even if your friends and family aren’t on board yet), then we’ll open up for questions and live coaching.

To ask a question or request live coaching in advance, email caroline[AT]carolinegarnetmcgraw[DOT]com. If you can’t attend live, rest assured that registration gets you replay access as well.

This package includes both group call AND special 45 minute 1:1 Bonus Visioning Call with me, to be scheduled after the event.

You’ll come away from this Bonus Visioning Call with three things:

1) A clear, compelling picture of exactly what your future life will look like if you decide to go for your goals with confidence

2) A specific, targeted assessment of the biggest challenge you’re facing right now

3) An opportunity to work with me to get to your vision and overcome your obstacle (if it’s a mutual fit).

The total package value is $597, but your price is $97.

50% of proceeds from this masterclass will be donated to support the small children of Sophie Fitzsimmons-Peters, who died this summer at age 34.
