Julia McCoy discusses her inspiring memoir, Woman Rising: A True Story.

Welcome to the Livestream Deals podcast, I'm Ross Brand of Livestream Universe. We are joined by Express Writers CEO Julia McCoy, who recently released her memoir, Woman Rising: A True Story, which details her childhood of abuse in her father's cult and her escape to a new life with a thriving multimillion dollar business and healthy, stable family of her own. A portion of sales from Woman Rising will directly fund The Woman Rising Project, which aims to help survivors of abusive home environments.

Woman Rising: A True Story written by Julia McCoy, is a #1 New Release on Amazon. The book shares the reality of Julia’s terror-filled life as a young child; her heartaches, struggles, breakthroughs, and the true story of her midnight escape. But the story doesn’t stop here. Part 2 chronicles how she went on to experience healing, life fulfillment, and build four businesses. This is the story of one woman’s survival and her path to a thriving life, despite all the odds. It’s also an entrepreneur’s success manual.

Julia McCoy is an author, entrepreneur, mom, and wife. She dropped out of college at nineteen years old to pursue her dreams to write for a living and find healing and life fulfillment. At the age of 21, she escaped her father’s cult to build a life on her own terms. Her content agency, Express Writers, grew from nothing to over $4.3M in revenue in just seven years, and she was named an industry thought leader in content marketing by Forbes in 2018. Today, she’s the author of two bestselling books, founder of The Content Hacker, and lives in Austin, Texas, with her daughter, husband, and fur baby.
