Caroline Foran is a number 1 bestselling author living and working in Dublin, with a degree in Communications and a Masters in Film and TV from DCU.
Outside of her two hit books – Owning It and The Confidence Kit – she works as a freelance journalist, writing for some of Ireland’s top publishers, both in print and online. She runs an interiors publishing platform alongside friend and business partner Jo Linehan: GAFF Interiors. Caroline quickly became a household name when her first book was released in 2017. Owning It – chronicling Caroline’s experience of anxiety and her incredibly practical approach to managing it – went to number one for 16 weeks. Since then, Caroline has appeared at countless events, giving keynote speeches about anxiety and stress management, as well as discussing confidence and fear – the subject of her bestselling follow up book. Her two books have been sold internationally and in 2019, her work launched in the United States. Her podcast – which also went straight to number one upon its release – is her latest venture. Owning It: The Anxiety Podcast is a relaxed, discussion based podcast in which author Caroline shares her experiences, what worked for her and what didn’t, along with a whole array of brilliant experts who weigh in on topics such as the fear of public speaking, anxiety and nutrition, why anxiety is something we experience from a psychology perspective and plenty more. Then, among the experts, Caroline chats to a series of familiar faces, all of whom have experienced crippling anxiety in their own way. She finds out how it manifested for them, how they cope on a daily basis, and ultimately what advice they have for the engaged listener.
