We Should Write

We Should Write

We Should Write is a show about the healing power of writing—told through conversations that blend sarcasm and soul, vulnerability and absurdity. Each week, host Lindsay Lawler dives deep with songwriters, authors, and creatives of all kinds to discover how putting pen to paper helped them work their stuff out. It’s part therapy, part comedy, all heart. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just jotting thoughts in the notes app at 3 a.m., this show is your permission slip to get it out, and hear unheard stories of how your favorite artists have done just that. Because through writing, we unlock healing, creativity, clarity, and maybe even a whole new version of ourselves. So . . . we should write, right?!
