Carole Sanek Unscripted: Memoir, Truth & Healing

Yeah I damn near caved and I was able to stop it from happening with the assistance of my soul.

Ideas perch oh yeah, sometimes they sit on the edge of my desk other times they sit on the top of my second monitor sometimes I’m on the top of my lamo shade and they just look at me asking metaphorically speaking of course if I’m ready to start.

Soul talk I’ve brought it back for 3 1/2 years on Fridays. I talked about soul talk all the time and I just felt that right now. A lot of us need to be in touch with our souls.

He bled on me oh yeah, at dinner a perfect stranger bled on me it got a little awkward.

If only - how many times have you caught yourself saying that if only this if only that we all have a lot of if only and they do change our lives decisions based on if only well, I’ll never know.

Simple title, Larry, simple title for a complex man who love me more than I’ve ever been loved before. My own Wuthering Heights.

Today I talk about why I wrote the book the unforgiven walk alone and I’m just starting to admit my feelings and to tell the why because the Y is ugly and it has two words two words that explain exactly why I wrote the book

My fire I explain it the best way I know how. 45 years 45 years of fire it’s not going to go away. I learned how to live with it.

I am fire and butterflies. That’s what I talk about today and I explain exactly why those words describe who I am and maybe who you are too

Are you healed now? A reader asked me this question several days ago someone I know who by the way happens to like my books. Sorry I had to plug that a little but she asked me that question and today I discuss the answer.

Today I talk about the inner circle. It’s a real group. It’s a real group of people who subscribe to what I call my secret writings things that may not make it into my book held things that will make it into the book if I get votes to do so from those in the inner circle, and this is where I might even get a little bit, naughty.

Ahead of the storm I’m recording ahead of the storm I live in South Carolina in the upstate and we are going to get hit. They’re saying a half inch to 1 inch of solid ice. Nobody’s going anywhere I downloaded a bunch of movies and TV shows through prime and Netflix and I’m staying put.

I wanted to expand un acceptance and sovereignty and do a two-part audio essay on this topic and this is the last part if you missed the first episode just dial it back you’ll find it. I’m always available somewhere.

Acceptance is a sovereign act. I want you to think about that. I woke up thinking about acceptance today and I wanted to talk about that and help everybody realize everybody’s listening real life. We’re going for sovereignty this year.

Today’s episode is all about the soft side of sovereignty. I didn’t want to give a talk on sovereignty like I did on Tuesday without backing it up about the soft side of it because there’s a misunderstanding about the word and I want everybody to understand what the word really means and how it feels to be sovereign the right way?

Today I talk about quiet frequency of sovereignty that should alert some people to the fact that this is going to be a darn good audio essay.

I’ve always loved talking about letting go and that’s what I talk about today because you have a fire burning in you yeah and that fire is telling you there are some things to let go of or maybe someone.

You don’t need to reinvent yourself and I tell you exactly why in today’s episode.

Fire that stays, that’s what I’m introducing every listener to on this episode. I’m hoping that you will think about it and join me this year in a slow burn of success.

Allowing the window change, you know it always changes at this time of the year we get ideas we set goals that’s not allowing them to change a line window change is listening looking for that inner fire feeling it. Come on with me a lot will happen in 2026.

The day after Christmas was always a favorite day of mine, but I’m talking about when I was a kid when the gift I got for Christmas was something I could play with or experiment with our skate with the next day. Did I ever tell you that my father froze our backyard so I could have a skating rink. Yeah I had a cool dad. We also had an ice skating rink within walking distance of our house and the entire week and a half after Christmas before school resumed. I was at the rink cost $.25 can yo...

Entering the season gently, it’s not easy for everybody. It’s not easy to admit that you need to do this. It’s here after six other Christmases filled with grief. Grief has left me alone for the most part. I decorated my way. I didn’t put a tree up. I just decorated my way and I feel so much better about my decision.

Christmas is good and bad. I took some time today maybe too much time to talk about some of the Christmases in my life the funny ones the sad ones the OK one the lovely ones you know we’ve all had them good ones and bad ones.

When you feel something is wrong really you need to take step back fit yourself down and take a good look at why you feel that way at the end of today’s episode. I share a story about what happened to me this weekend when I had to go to the emergency room and be admitted to a hospital under a stroke protocol and no, I did not have a stroke so I’m a little bit aggravated at the overzealousness of the young resident in the ER but I’m also grateful to him because guess what it nev...

The bridge life gives us the opportunity to build a bridge from your past to your future and if you’re ready to cross one, God bless you. It’s a wonderful feeling.

Disappointment, it happens to all of us and today I bring it up because I recently had a big disappointment. Life always gives us things to talk about doesn’t it?

Hey, tomorrow is Saint Nicholas day? Yeah, anybody with the European background know exactly what that means so, put your boots on the windowsill tonight and hope that you’re gonna get them filled with candies and fruit and small trinkets and no twigs wrapped in red wrapping paper.

Happy birthday dad you did a great job. I love you. I miss you and the memories still live in my heart.

Permission that’s what I talk about today I give those of you who are feeling relief the day after Thanksgiving I give you permission to feel that relief.

Just happens to be my birthday this week actually tomorrow if you’re listening to this on Tuesday the day at strange live I can’t believe another trip around the sun and here I go again.

Gratitude that’s my topic today. It’s the one I wake up with every morning being grateful and I go to sleep with that every night being grateful because there is so much that I can be grateful for. I look for it at times sometimes I have to look for it, but it comes bouncing back into my life. Try it.

Today’s episode five things Rosie taught me this week is all about what our pets can teach us even cats. I’ll give you that even cats. We just need to pay attention.

Strength doesn’t always roar sometimes it’s the quiet moment you decide not to repeat an old pattern.

A moment of fear became the clarity. I didn’t know I was waiting for and my healing answered first.

The warmest thing in the room what a glorious thing to be that’s what I talk about today because November always makes me feel like the warmest thing in the room.

November girl -and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Healing has no deadline, and I wanna make sure that everybody who listens to this episode today understands that healing is not an assignment. It has taken me a long time and there are still moments, but I can usually knock those moments to the ground.

The unforgiven still do walk in my case mine doesn’t, but I still needed to figure out if I could ever forgive the act that’s why I wrote the unforgiven walk alone.

Today I talk about quiet victories the little ones that come to us at the right time the ones give us peace.

Still standing, that’s the name of this episode in which I talk about what it’s like to finally admit that I was a victim of domestic violence and how I plan to stand on the top of table, rock, mountain and scream I am still standing
