The Day I Stopped Running… by Carmel Brown
Upcoming Book

This book isn’t about doing more. It’s about being more you.
Featured In: Voices of the 21st Century – Unstoppable Women Standing Strong
Paperback release: 5 February 2026
Carmel’s story, The Day I Stopped Running, will be featured in this inspiring anthology alongside powerful voices from women around the world.
Read it. Feel it. Rise with it.
“I didn’t know I was running—until I stopped.”
From the outside, Carmel looked unstoppable leading a thriving business, juggling big responsibilities, and showing up with confidence. But behind the mask of achievement was exhaustion, self-doubt, and the fear of not being enough.
This book is Carmel’s story of what happened when she finally paused, turned inward, and discovered that everything she was chasing was already within her.
Through raw honesty and gentle wisdom, Carmel invites you to reflect on your own journey:
Who are you when the titles are stripped away?
What happens when you stop proving and start being?
Could the way home be… inward?
It’s a story about connection, authenticity, and what it means to strip away the armour and live from the heart.
