A Quiet Rebellion- Carrie Birde on Shame, Voice, and Uncommon Grace

Carrie is the author of A Small Tale of Uncommon Grace, a novel she wrote in secret for years while wrestling with shame, creative fear, and a lifetime of being told to shrink her imagination. Her work is tender, hopeful, and defiantly beautiful — the kind of story that invites you to slow down and remember there is still a lot of magic in this world.

In our conversation, we get into her hidden writing life, the moment she finally claimed her voice, the creative practices that helped her heal, and how this book became her way of putting softness back into a noisy world.

If you’ve ever tucked your creativity out of sight, this one’s going to hit home. Settle in — Carrie’s rebellion is the quiet kind, and it might just spark your own.
