Beth Anne Campbell
First of Her Name, The Grit Whisperer, Queen of Bacon, Supreme Goddess of Getting Sh*t Done, Khaleesi of the Great Corporate Sea, Giver of No F*cks, Princess of Pork, Breaker of Silence, and Mother of Hats
I, Beth Anne Campbell, am a former corporate queen (some might say prisoner) who traded in her tiara for a pen and a microphone. Or more accurately, the tiara was ripped away when I was made redundant (as if!) in 2023 after more than two decades as a successful professional in corporate tech.
I eventually realized that the stress of working in unfulfilling roles with horrible leaders and zero creativity was taking its toll on my body and soul. So I made the decision to pursue happiness over a big paycheck.
I never looked back. I am now living my dream life of writing, podcasting, and speaking out.
I host two podcasts that might seem like they are on opposite sides of the universe. The Thirsty Professional is a live show where my guests and I grab a bevvy, ditch the BS, and get real about careers, purpose, and passion. Something Weird Happened Here is a paranormal podcast for people who love a twisted tale, but aren’t afraid to poke at it a bit.
Born and raised in the great state of Michigan, I currently live in Virginia with my awesome husband, Sean, and our silver Labrador retriever Moxie. While I will always be a mitten girl at heart, I love living in Virginia.
I am slightly rebellious, harmlessly (for the most part) sarcastic, and hats are my thing. And I have been known to drop an f-bomb or two (or thirty). Jigsaw puzzles, bacon, jazz hands, and baby animals… these are a few of my favorite things.
Finally, I am an inclusive, pro-DEI, LGBTQ+ ally and supporter, proud feminist, science lover, and progressive thinker.
In my spare time, I can usually be found working on my next book or using my voice to make the world a better place.
My other life is writing, which is my heart and soul.
My debut book Where the Hell Is My Bacon? won an International Impact Award in 2024 and cemented my reputation for blending humor, heart, and transparency in everything I do.
After publishing my second nonfiction work—From BLAH to BADASS—I decided it was time to channel my inner novelist. Case of the Demon Drums is the first book in The RIP Files paranormal mystery trilogy, drawing inspiration from my decade as a ghost hunter.
I also polished my editing skills by helping my uncle publish his book about recovering from abuse and addiction, called The Broken Spoke.
