I did an Author Interview for the North Grenville Writers Circle and it's now on YouTube.
***Trigger Warning!***
This was very exciting for me as I have never done an author interview before. You can see the anxiety and ADHD running rampant, but I did my best to suppress them as much as I could. We discussed this website as well as my book "My Cinderella Story - A Dark Fairy Tale: Memoir Part 4 - The Plaid Prince". We also talked about my work history, my health and what my plans are for the next step.
I received numerous accolades for the interview which is so wonderful and encouraging!!
Debbie - "That's awesome Connie, love it"
Amber - "Wow! This was very brave of you to partake in! So proud of you"
Sandy - "Well done. Bravely sharing your story is timely and timeless. Many others will be touched deeply! Women who have or are experiencing domestic abuse and its devastating effects will feel validated, as will those in their lives! Thank you"
Peggy - "Amazing interview, Connie!"
Isabelle - "I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of you. Sharing your story — the pain, the wounds, the truth — takes a kind of courage most people never find. I know this book was part of your healing, it carries a powerful piece of your heart. Watching you speak about it so openly on the talk show…it moved me. You spoke with such strength and honesty. You’re not just surviving — you’re rising, and in doing so, you’re giving others permission to do the same. I know this journey hasn’t been easy, but what you’ve done is extraordinary. You’ve turned pain into purpose. I see you — and I admire you more than words can say. Connie what I wrote came from my heart! You are an incredible woman, and have so much to give/helping others… You are unique and one of a kind! Always remember that!"
Kerry - "I appreciate your authenticity and courage! Sharing our stories helps others and makes people feel they too can get through tough situations."
Evan - "Wow interesting! Good for you! You should be proud of yourself!"
Jen - "Connie I’m so proud of you and your accomplishments. You are an inspiration."
Eric - "That is amazing!"
Mark - "the interview is amazing, well put out there and intriguing...such an accomplishment...Very proud of you!"
Brooklyn - "You did such an incredible job speaking. You really inspire me and I'm so proud to know you and be a small part of your life. I love you!"
Lise - "Wow! What a powerful, open, honest, raw interview. Congratulations. Very empowering! You should be so proud of yourself. That took so much courage, and you nailed it! It probably helped you as much as it helped others. Perfect! I’m so very proud of you!"
Laurie - "You did a great job; you should be proud of yourself."
Reading all these beautiful words from so many amazing friends has really made me feel confident and proud of what I am doing. That I'm going in the right direction and am excited to see what comes next!
