In this episode of the Authors Impact Hub Podcast, we sit down with poet and entrepreneur Ciara Lewis, author of The Anchor Holds — a deeply personal collection of poems inspired by real-life events surrounding trauma, grief, motherhood, and healing.

Ciara opens up about how poetry became her outlet for processing pain, finding purpose, and discovering joy after tragedy. From poems written in high school to launching her first book and stepping into entrepreneurship, this conversation is both heartfelt and empowering.

You’ll hear:

• How writing helped Ciara cope with trauma

• The story behind her book's mantra: “Defined by Tragedy, Grief, and Happiness”

• Why she’s turning poetry into products like mugs and blankets

• How her work is helping others find healing through words

Whether you’re a writer, survivor, or someone on a healing journey, this episode will encourage you to own your story and embrace the impact your voice can make.
