Carol K. McClain is an author and speaker known for charting her own course and helping others step into a larger life. Her newly released Amazon bestselling memoir, Sailing Sweet Caroline, tells the remarkable true story of leaving a long marriage, embracing new love, and trading mountain life for the open sea—only to face a catastrophic sailing accident in the Caribbean that tested everything she thought she knew about courage, resilience, and starting over.

After surviving the loss of her home at sea, Carol rebuilt her life once again and now brings rare authenticity, emotional depth, and lived wisdom to every conversation and stage.

Blending real-world adventure with decades of personal development and transformational study, Carol speaks on reinvention, the power of choice, and what becomes possible when we trust our deepest desires—and have the courage to follow where they lead.

She is available for podcast interviews, media features, speaking engagements, and Infinite Possibilities training programs.
