Carey Sipp
Carey Sipp, the dynamic author of The TurnAround Mom, is an addiction and abuse survivor and parenting education advocate who believes Americans must break our collective addiction to what she calls toxic intensity, "the mother of all addictions," to stop the heartbreaking cycles of addiction and abuse destroying our families.
A single mom for 11 years, Carey was married in 2005 to a wonderful man who is a loving husband and stepfather. She now has three stepchildren.
"The gifts of recovery are terrific blessings in a new marriage. Acceptance, gratitude, patience -- all the qualities we learn as we gain greater compassion for ourselves -- are invaluable tools as we forge new family relationships."
For many years, Carey was an award-winning advertising creative director, primarily working on fundraising materials for nonprofit organizations such as children's hospitals, children's causes, the arts, and educational institutions.

Carey is writer, speaker, and inventor, who has written all of her life to "stay out of trouble and to teach myself things I need to know." She is known for her honesty, sense of humor, and her ability to touch the hearts and minds of her audience.
A graduate of the University of Tennessee with a degree in communications, Carey has a "life-long commitment to learning." She has done extensive studies on addiction, abuse, parenting, recovery, and children's needs.
A current resident of Atlanta, Georgia, Carey is available as a guest speaker for civic groups, recovery centers, workshops, events, and conferences, and is working on her next book.
