Writing a Book and Crafting Cocktails with Carly Gelsinger (Wheelehan)


Listen Later

Carly is the author of her book Once You Go In, a cocktail enthusiast, and a mother of three. Carly and I got to know each other during the pandemic when she started dropping off her special craft cocktails at my doorstep! She's ambitious and creative, which is why I wanted to have her on the podcast. To talk all about pursuing passions, the process of writing her book, and how she created this cocktail-book-loving podcast, Huckleberry Gin.

Key Takeaways

  • Her relentless pursuit of writing a book, even when other writers told her she was too young to write a memoir.
  • Following your ambition and wanting it more than anything else.
  • Recognizing when passion fades that it's better for you and others to release it. 

"I know how I feel when I'm not creating, when I'm not investing myself in something ambitiously creative. I feel this vague emptiness when I'm not. It's like I can't not [create]."
