Authors' Allies

From Setbacks to Spark: Losing 100 Pounds, Finding My Voice, and Helping Authors Win

30 Oct 2025

Description

This conversation was originally recorded for Kari Lowe’s podcast, She Ignites—and she graciously allowed us to share it here on Authors Allies so my listeners can learn more about me, my story, and why I’m so fired-up about helping authors. 🔥✨In this candid crossover episode with She Ignites, host Kari Lowe interviews Rebecca Paciorek (that’s me!), founder of Authors Allies and the Authors’ Allies RoundTable. We talk about the belief I had to burn away to build a business, the “rule” I’ve happily broken about women and earning power, and my journey to losing 100 pounds over six years. We also dig into navigating video fears, dealing with online comments, taking up unapologetic space, and why “be nice” isn’t soft—it’s strategic. Plus: what Authors Allies actually does for indie authors and how to test-drive the membership for free.Links & ResourcesShe Ignites podcast with Kari Lowe Kari’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557270878848Kari’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheignitescandleco/Kari’s TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thekariloweKari’s Website: sheignitescandleco.comAuthors’ Allies⁠ RoundTable⁠ can be found on our ⁠website.⁠  https://www.bluedotdigitalmarketing.com/Ebook: Did you download your copy of 10 Steps to Your Ultimate Book Marketing Plan ebook yet?
