Carole Sanek Unscripted: Memoir, Truth & Healing

"Carole Sanek Unscripted is a twice-weekly audio essay podcast hosted by author, life coach, and survivor Carole Sanek.

After surviving mother-blame, estrangement, domestic violence, breast cancer, and the sudden loss of the love of her life - Carole stopped hiding her story.

Each episode is raw, real, and unapologetic. Part coaching, part memoir, part truth-telling for anyone who's been through the fire and is still standing.

Author of The Unforgiven Walk Alone and Running Shoes, with Book 3 (HELD) coming July 2026.

For anyone who's been blamed for someone else's crimes, walked alone in a house full of people, or is learning to hold themselves after loss.

You are not alone."
