How Laura Van Wormer Remarkably Found Her Voice Again
Description
What happens when life takes away the voice you built your career on, and then gives you a completely new way to use it?
In this powerful episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich talks with bestselling author Laura Van Wormer, who published 14 novels with major publishers before a devastating head-on collision with a drunk driver changed everything. After years of struggling with traumatic brain injury and the loss of her writing ability, Laura found her way back to storytelling through podcasting.
Laura is the creator of The Class of ’74, a serialized audio drama set in the early 1970s that blends nostalgia, history, humor, and healing.
In this episode:
- Laura shares how the crash changed her life and creativity
- Why podcasting became part of her recovery
- How The Class of ’74 reconnects people with their own memories
- The role of history, high school, and community in storytelling
- What Betty White taught Laura about gratitude and grief
