We are not the stories.
We are the storytellers, connecting to others with the stories we tell.

Memoir of An Ordinary Person is my story. It’s about someone who you don’t know and never heard of and yet, you may recognize me in yourself. It's about how I created a life that I dreamt of and made it mine.
Meet Carrie KC West
When I attended the American Film Institute, it was due mostly to my love of stories and storytelling. Stories were how I comforted myself in the madness and terror of my house. I endured trauma and panic almost from the moment I was born. As a child, my family rejected me and I learned to fend for myself, sometimes with near catastrophic results. And yet, I am now a thriving successful adult. Memoir of An Ordinary Person is the story of my journey to an extraordinary life.
Is there more?
After much encouragement, I wrote Memoir of An Ordinary Person to share and celebrate my journey and inspire others on their journeys in life. I know that if I didn’t go on this exploration of change, I’d either commit violent acts or hurt myself and people I love as a way to mitigate the deep emotional pain I felt. My adventure shows that we can heal and become more of who we are, more of who we are meant to be.
Who cares?
If your family was a mess of dysfunction and drama, it may comfort you to know that I can relate. Your story is a shared one. On the other hand, if your life was fairly free of the chaos, I hope you'll agree that it's time to tell this story that unfortunately too many people can relate to. My book can help you understand how stories affect us, and most importantly, how stories can empower you to live a happy and fulfilling life, one that you dream of living.
Why am I crowdfunding?
My plan is to launch the book and my new workshop that will Awaken to Your Dream Life Story. I want this all to happen at the same time and you know what? It’s expensive to do it and do it well. I’m hoping that with your help I’ll get everything done at the same time. And in return I will give you the first, hot off the press book and for some of you, a free session to show you how you too can have the life you dream of.
What you can do
First, subscribe to my mailing list. I will send you a preview along with regular updates to let you know how everything is going. I’ll let you know when my campaign is ready and share more of my stories. Some are quite funny some aren’t but that’s how it goes sometimes. When the campaign launches, I’ll ask you to preorder my book. I’ve got some great gifts to send along to everyone that helps. And I’ll be adding more as the campaign grows.

Am I legit?
I am, as they say, an open book. I’m rebuilding my social media footprint to make it up to date and will let you know when that launches. I’ll also share photos of my puppy who runs our home and owns me and my heart. I’d send photos of my family, but the puppy is cuter. You can email and ask me anything. I am grateful that you’ve read this far and look forward to connecting with you and sharing my story. Perhaps you'll be inspired to share your story, too.
Thanks for visiting.
