Welcome to The Resilient Author Podcast, a show about the story behind the book and the courage it takes to bring an idea to life.
I’m Kary Youman, author, speaker, and host of The Resilient Author Podcast. Each week, I sit down with writers, creators, and change-makers to uncover the real journey behind their words, the setbacks, breakthroughs, and moments of resilience that shaped their work.
This isn’t a podcast about how to “sell more books.” It’s a space for honest conversation about what it means to keep going when self-doubt, rejection, or life itself tries to pull you off course.
Every episode is designed to remind you that writing isn’t just about publishing a book. It’s about becoming the kind of person capable of telling your story fully and truthfully.
When I was working on my own book, I realized something important: every author I met had their own version of resistance. Some faced loss. Others battled imposter syndrome. Many simply struggled to find the time or courage to begin. Yet they all shared one thing: they refused to quit.
That’s what The Resilient Author is about. It’s about the strength it takes to keep showing up for your dream, even when it’s hard.
Each conversation dives deep into topics like:
How authors transform personal pain into purpose
The truth about creative block and burnout
The unexpected ways publishing can change your life
Lessons in perseverance from writers across genres
You’ll hear from first-time authors, seasoned storytellers, and voices from every walk of life who have faced the blank page and decided to write anyway.
When I’m not behind the mic, I help aspiring authors “speak their book” through my Voice to Book™ Method, a process that helps people transform their spoken words into a finished manuscript. Whether through coaching, courses, or community, my goal is simple: to help people share their stories and leave a legacy that lasts.
If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book, felt stuck along the way, or needed a reminder that your story matters, you’re in the right place.
Because resilience isn’t just a trait. It’s a practice. And every story shared here is proof that you can begin again, no matter where you are.
Each week, I share honest conversations and lessons from authors who’ve faced resistance and kept going. Join the newsletter to stay inspired, learn from their journeys, and keep writing yours.
