Storytelling, Healing, and the Power to Rewrite Your Life with Carrie KC West and Lisa Manzo

In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, bestselling author, speaker, and narrative coach Carrie KC West shares how the stories we tell — and believe — shape our entire lives. With degrees in Counseling Psychology from Penn State and Filmmaking from the American Film Institute, Carrie blends psychological depth with cinematic storytelling to help others rewrite the narratives that hold them back.

From a childhood marked by instability to a career in Hollywood analyzing scripts and stories, Carrie learned that every human life follows the same structure as a great film: challenge, conflict, and the choice to rise. When the pandemic shut down her business, she faced her own turning point and chose to build a career helping others transform their personal stories. Her bestselling book Life Rewritten was born from that leap — proof that it’s never too late to take back the pen and create a story that feels true.
