  • Goldpine: Trusting When It’s Time To Share Your Story

    Goldpine: Trusting When It’s Time To Share Your Story
    Mar 11 2026
    In this special episode — and the very first filmed episode of We Should Write — Lindsay Lawler sits down with Kassie and Ben of the Americana duo Goldpine for a conversation that goes far beyond songwriting. Lindsay first met Kassie years ago during the wild Broadway days in Nashville, when Kassie was singing downtown and Ben was running sound at The Listening Room. Today, the two are 16 years into marriage, traveling the world together and creating music side by side as a husband-and-wife duo. What unfolds in this conversation is less about the music business and more about the deeper places songwriting can come from. Kassie shares about losing a parent and how grief, memory, faith, and healing eventually find their way into the songs we write and the lives we build. Together they explore the idea that the stories we carry from childhood, family, and loss often become the very things that shape our creativity—and sometimes even help us make peace with our past. Goldpine also performs two songs live in this intimate episode, and hearing them acoustically is something else entirely. Kassie’s voice, paired with the songwriting she and Ben create together, has a kind of control and emotional pull that can feel almost mind-bending. It’s the kind of performance that makes you realize these two were meant to be creating music together. More than a songwriter interview, this conversation touches on creativity, spirituality, marriage, and the quiet realization that the hardest parts of our lives often become the stories that help us grow.

  • Annie McCormick: What Happens When You Sell Everything and Let the Story Lead

    Annie McCormick: What Happens When You Sell Everything and Let the Story Lead
    Feb 11 2026

    In this episode of We Should Write, Lindsay sits down with Annie McCormick, a writer who made the bold decision to sell her home, let go of her belongings, and travel the world by pet sitting in order to create space for what she was always meant to do: write. What began as a life of wandering turned into a creative awakening, leading Annie to publish her first novel Runaway Kane and build an entire fictional world shaped by freedom, risk, and imagination.

    Together, Lindsay and Annie explore what it means to model adventure as an empty nester, how fiction can become a second life where truth feels safer to tell, and why imagination is just as essential to healing as self-reflection. They talk about writing on the road, identity without reputation, discipline versus inspiration, and the quiet permission that comes from starting over later than expected. This conversation is an invitation to loosen your grip on the plan, trust curiosity, and remember that sometimes the bravest thing you can do for your writing is make room for it.

  • Kelly Jean Torres: From Foster Care and Abuse, to Becoming a Caring, Creative Mother, All Through Writing

    Kelly Jean Torres: From Foster Care and Abuse, to Becoming a Caring, Creative Mother, All Through Writing
    Jan 14 2026

    In this deeply honest and grounding episode of We Should Write, Lindsay Lawler sits down with writer, singer, and mother Kelly Jean Torres for a conversation about healing, creativity, and what it means to rewrite your story without being trapped by it.

    Kelly shares her journey through foster care and childhood abuse—and how those experiences shaped her inner world. With courage and clarity, she opens up about surviving deep trauma, including a suicide attempt, while also reflecting on the profound work it took to heal, seek support, and choose a different future.

    At the heart of this episode is Kelly’s memoir, Saving the Lost Girl, and the belief that while our stories matter, we don’t have to stay inside them forever. Together, Lindsay and Kelly explore writing as a path to healing, the difference between revisiting pain to integrate it versus reliving it, and how creativity can become a safe place to tell the truth—and then let it go.

    This conversation holds space for both the hard and the hopeful—grief and gratitude, survival and self-authorship. Kelly reflects on becoming the mother she once needed, building a loving life in the present, and learning how to carry her younger self (and others) forward with compassion instead of fear.
