Just a few of hours after it’s release ‘The Woman I’m Becoming’ captured the attention of people globally.

Elements of her chapter that she shares include; fear, self-talk and self-doubt – Carol-Ann shares top tips on how to overcome limiting thought patterns and how you can turn it around so you are more positive and empowered. Woven throughout her chapter is Carol-Ann’s personal story of how she overcame her fears and worries to create a life that she dreamt of. Her chapter also offers advice and top tips on subjects such as identity, beliefs and values.
Carol-Ann was taught in her early 20’s that limiting thoughts is something that can be changed and within her chapter she shares a simple concept called the ‘Worrier V’s Warrior’ way of thinking which she says changed her life forever.
This passion project was spearheaded by 31 year old Abigail Horne, Founder of Authors&Co which helps women leave a legacy through creating bestselling books. Abi felt compelled to show young women how to be kinder to themselves, love and value themselves and feel empowered to create the futures they desire after recently having a baby girl.

Carol-Ann Reid, Life Coach, Master NLP Practitioner and International Motivational Speaker
said: “I am delighted to be involved in this incredible collaboration book for International Women’s Day – uniting with other women from around the globe to help empower 14-18year olds. I was so excited when I found out it had become a best seller within hours!
“Sharing my message in this book is important to me because, what I know from studying neuroscience and training in the areas that I have is, the earlier we learn that we have a choice in how we think, feel and behave, the more confident and resilient we become. If we teach the younger generation the power that their thoughts and words have on themselves and others, the world will be a very different place.
“Within my chapter I share a simple concept called the ‘Worrier V’s Warrior’ way of thinking which changed my life forever. I am thrilled be an example of how it is completely possible to create a life that aligns with your dreams, aspirations and who you are.”

Here are three things Carol-Ann she now knows that she wishes her teenage self knew:
1. Be grateful for everything in your life. From the small things, to the big things. I believe that ‘Gratitude is medicine for the mind’
2. Speak your truth and say what you think. Your opinion is just as valuable as anyone else’s! Holding things in only hurts yourself.
3. It’s ok to make mistakes and not get everything right the first time you try something! The best lessons come from your mistakes, not your victories.
Alongside the launch of this book Carol-Ann is also making her workbook “Discover Your Warrior Within” available for FREE download. This workbook help’s you to identify your strengths and values; empowering you to feel even more confident and resilient. Visit https://carolannreid.com/ for your copy.
