Yet Podcast Episode 29
This week on the podcast, I interviewed a retired 20+ year stay at home mom turned empty nester, turned self-published author Carol Wyllie.
Carol thought she would jump right into writing when she became an empty nester, but things took a detour when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Carol’s been a lifetime writer and has always dreamt of writing and publishing books. After her dream of raising a family had come true, she shifted her focus to writing full time.
When her kids were younger, she wrote a series of children’s books on social graces.
After going through her cancer treatment, with some encouragement from a friend, a seed was planted for her to share her journey in a nonfiction book.
In 2021, Chemo Pissed Me Off went from a blank page to published in five and a half months and “wrote itself.”
As Carol says, “why waste something like this - put it down so that others can have this resource.”

About T.C. Burr
After years of putting it off, I have started writing my debut novel—a story about friendship, and about growing up. It follows the lives of a group of young men as they navigate the world between two mountainous seasons of life, with all the twists, turns and trials that come with growing up.
Through this podcast, I aim to highlight inspiring stories from fellow writers, entrepreneurs, and creatives, offering encouragement and practical advice for those pursuing their own creative and business ventures.
A dream left on the shelf is one of life's greatest regrets.
Today's a great day to get started.
It's not that you haven't done it, it's just that you haven't done it yet.
