Podcast appearances and mentions of Carla King

Today, I interview Carla King, an author and publishing expert who overcame the struggle of being an introvert terrified of speaking publicly—even after her writing was published. Carla grew up in a unique environment shaped by her introverted, artistic mother and extroverted, mechanical father. Living in rural North Carolina, she spent much of her time reading and working on mechanical projects with her dad, finding comfort in solitude and observation. A dramatic move to Silicon Valley during her teenage years pushed her into a new world of cultural contrasts, where she began exploring her identity and finding her voice through writing and travel. A pivotal moment in Carla's journey came when she took a solo motorcycle trip through Europe, leaving behind a marriage that no longer served her. That experience not only marked her personal transformation but also inspired her first published story. Today, Carla uses her expertise and adventurous spirit to guide authors in turning their stories into books, teaching them to overcome the fear of sharing their deepest truths and connect authentically with their readers.__________________Carla King is an author and publishing expert who's passionate about guiding writers through the journey of turning their stories into polished, professional books. Known for her adventurous solo motorcycle travels and as a pioneer in online travel blogging, Carla brings creativity and clear, actionable advice to her coaching. Through her books, workshops, and the Your Publishing Compass yearlong program, she helps authors confidently navigate the publishing process and share their stories with the world.__________________Find Carla here:https://carlaking.com/ https://carlaking.com/in/carlaking/ https://www.facebook.com/missadventuring/ https://www.instagram.com/missadventuring/Free Download - https://BookHip.com/LJQATKD Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.
