What happens when a painful divorce becomes the catalyst for your most authentic life? Carroll Patrizi — host of Conversations with Carroll and founder of the Surrender Movement — joins Amy and Nancy Harrington of The Passionistas Project to share a journey of accountability, self-discovery, and radical self-authorship.

Growing up one of 11 children, Carroll learned early how storytelling shapes identity. But it took a pivotal moment with her therapist to realize she alone is the author of her own life. That wake-up call led her to release shame, embrace personal growth, and commit to a daily practice of surrender — not as giving up, but as a powerful act of presence and self-awareness.

In this deeply moving conversation, Carroll and the Passionistas explore what it really means to share unfiltered stories, redefine success, and reclaim your voice. Carroll also shares her vision for a global Surrender Movement anthology featuring up to 70 co-authors, along with empowering workshops and summits designed to help women release comparison and embrace collaboration.

If you're seeking women's empowerment, resilience, and authentic storytelling for women, this episode will leave you grounded and ready to rewrite your own story.
