Kristine Best speaks with Carolyn Wilman about mindfulness, mental health, and the many turns of a career built around contests, marketing, and writing. Carolyn shares how early podcasting, motherhood, unemployment, and setbacks shaped her path, along with lessons from Helene Hadsell and the power of trusting the journey. They discuss Words for Winning, sweepstakes systems, the impact of words and attention, and how small actions can shift a life. The conversation also covers publishing, translations, audiobooks, AI, trauma-informed language, intuition, and why winning can be a mindset as much as an outcome.
