About this listen

 The star of Southern Charm and cofounder and CMO of Sewing Down South reveals how he turned his passion for sewing into a profitable enterprise and a fulfilling life, while also taking us behind-the-scenes of one of Bravo’s most popular shows.

As a young boy sitting at a sewing machine in home economics class, Craig Conover had no idea that this hobby would one day change his life for the better. Growing up in Delaware, Conover experienced cruel bullying and suffered from severe anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. But while law school in Charleston seemed to provide the direction he needed, Conover spent years searching for meaning and passion in life. The chance to become a cast member on Bravo’s Southern Charm promised to provide that.

Though the show gave Conover a shot at fame and fortune, it also offered destructive temptations that fed his insecurities. As the show increased in popularity, he sank deeper into self-doubt. Unable to take control of his life, Conover quickly lost his job, his girlfriend, and his motivation. Then, at his lowest point, Conover turned to his passion—sewing—and slowly pulled himself out of the spiral. A chance phone call from an old friend gave Conover the support he needed to turn his hobby into a business. Soon after, Sewing Down South was born and became an overnight success, with Conover launching a multi-state “Pillow Party Tour,” being featured on HSN, and opening a retail store in downtown Charleston.

Now, Conover reveals the full story of the drama that swirled around him on the show—both on screen and off—and how it led to the founding of Sewing Down South. He also talks about how he was able to turn his passion into his work and reclaim the direction of his life and what lessons we can learn from his experience.

Big southern charm fan & bought the audiobook as soon as it was released but never had the time or inclination to get into it. Once I became more invested in Craig’s backstory through my fandom of his relationship with Paige I listened to the whole thing in a day!!

After getting into the groove of his narration Craig really is a delight to listen to and has quite a lot of inspirational nuggets that I found both genuine and endearing.

Great simple listening with a bit of BTS gossip but not much; so don’t get too disappointed by that. I view Craig with far more respect and admiration after finishing this book.

Surprisingly inspiring

Wow! I have a very recent diagnosis of ADHD inatentive. I really felt a connection to Craig on the show. Before I was diagnosed, I related to the real struggle of procrastination and I now know that it is a big symptom of ADHD. My wish for Craig, is for him to learn and apply self compassion, do it more. I live in Australia 🇦🇺 and would love to visit the flagship store one day. Keep dreaming and thank you for the inspiration and being a safe place. Sending unconditional love ❤️ A x
