To say that Carol has a colorful background is a huge understatement! She lived in a tiny 18-foot trailer as a child. . . surrounded by circus performers. What colorful neighbors! After flunking out of three colleges, she was determined enough to earn a Bachelor’s Degree followed by a Master’s Degree in counseling from New York University.

She taught Psychology and Life Skills in a New York prison for five years, and then moved to Nashville, TN after being offered a music opportunity. When she got to Music City, she quickly started performing with a who’s who of entertainers. . . Willie Nelson, Roy Clark, Jimmy Buffett, Johnny Cash, Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees, and many others. As an award-winning songwriter, Carol has had over 40 of her songs recorded. . . and as an actress has had movie roles with Sandra Bullock and Faye Dunaway.

Fifteen years ago, Carol became a sought-after speaker and best-selling author. Carol is a successful motivational expert and host of her own online show: “Get Fired UP!” She’s been published in four languages and also contributed to the mega-bestseller “Chicken Soup For The Soul” series.

From the 18-foot trailer to the star-studded stage, Carol also knows first-hand how to overcome adversity, and stay fired up through all of life’s challenges. After suffering a mini-stroke, she was left permanently blind in her left eye and lost her younger sister to breast cancer. We all have challenges, and Carol knows that we can all choose to turn those struggles into strengths!

Just like you, she learns the most powerful lessons during the toughest times. Carol Grace Anderson gives you the solutions and tools to get fired up for action!

Hobbies: Playing music with her husband, guitarist Coleman Murphy, cooking, walking, writing motivating songs, and cheering on the Tennessee Titans.
