12:00pm CT: In this episode of We Should Write, Lindsay Lawler sits down with writer, singer, and mother Kelly Jean Torres for a deeply honest conversation about healing, creativity, and the courage it takes to rewrite your story without living inside your past. Kelly opens up about her journey through foster care, childhood abuse, and surviving profound trauma, including a suicide attempt—and the long, intentional work of choosing a different future. Centered around her memoir Saving the Lost Girl, this episode explores writing as a path to integration rather than retraumatization, creativity as a safe place to tell the truth, and what it means to become the person—and the parent—you once needed. Together, Lindsay and Kelly hold space for both grief and hope, reminding listeners that while our stories matter, we are not required to stay trapped inside them.

12:00pm CT: On this episode of We Should Write, Lindsay sits down with Annie McCormick, a novelist who sold her home, let go of nearly everything she owned, and began traveling the world through pet sitting to create space for her writing life. What started as a bold leap into adventure became the foundation for her debut novel Runaway Kane and an entire fictional world shaped by risk, reinvention, and imagination. Together, they talk about modeling courage as an empty nester, how fiction can become a safe place to tell the truth, what happens to identity when no one knows your name, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your creativity is rearrange your life to make room for it.
