When things aren’t going so well in your life, it can be easy to fall into a funk and get down. It is less easy, however, to reframe your situation and take the positive out of it.

 

In this episode of Creativity: Uncovered, Lauren Hackney shares her story of how at the lowest point in her life, her creativity saved her. 

 

In one year, Lauren lost her job and almost lost her husband, and her imaginative bedtime stories with her kids turned all of that around for her. Lauren is now the author of a series of kids books, The Lolly Shop series, and has no plans to stop writing.

 

Tune into this episode to hear how:

• Losing her job and her husband’s near-fatal heart attack rocked Lauren’s life
• Lockdown brought up the big questions in life
• Her bedtime story routine with her kids started a new career
• Lauren wrote a series of books with her two sons
• How she battled rejection and self-published her books
• Lauren discovered her creativity (but still doesn’t consider herself an author)
• Writing helped her heal from and reframe the lowest point in her life
• Lauren has created a legacy for her kids

Happy listening!
