She is also a freelance culture writer and host of the popular podcast, The Only One In The Room, living in Studio City, California. Her recent articles in HuffPo and The Temper on the subjects of race, recovery, and divorce have garnered her worldwide acclaim. She currently sits on the advisory boards of the San Diego Writer’s Festival and the Outliers HQ podcast Festival. This is a super special conversation from inside the Shameless Mom Con Collective. I invited Laura to come have a conversation with me about sharing women's stories, as we have collectively shared hundreds and hundred of womens’ stories over the last few years. The power of sharing our stories is so significant and I knew Laura would have a lot of insight into this. I hope this conversation inspires you to share your stories in the spaces you feel safe to do so.  Listen in to hear us share: What inspired us to start making space for other women’s stories What we’ve learned after sharing hundreds of women's stories over the last few years Some of our favorite stories that we’ve shared on our podcasts Why we are all more powerful when we start sharing our stories How to create safe spaces for women to share stories Links mentioned: Download my free Shameless Motivational Coloring Book Podcast: The Only One In The Room Connect with Laura: theonlyonepod.com Thank you to our sponsors: Hello Fresh: Go to HelloFresh.com/shameless12 and use code shameless12 for 12 free meals, including free shipping!
