This week on The Touchup™, we sit down with the incomparable Laura Veltz—songwriter, storyteller, and spiritual linebacker—whose impact on the music industry spans across pop, country, film, and everything in between.

From growing up in a family band to becoming the first woman to top Billboard’s Country Songwriter chart, Laura’s journey is as powerful as the songs she’s penned. (The Bones, Speechless, 29, What If I Never Get Over You—just to name a few.) But this episode? It’s not about the charts. It’s about the heart.

⸻

🔥 What We Touchup On:
    •    Creative survival: using songwriting as a tool to move through trauma
    •    Motherhood & breaking cycles: healing while raising emotionally safe kids
    •    Artistry vs. backlash: what it really felt like releasing “1965”
    •    The balance of business + soul in today’s music industry
    •    Why worrying is the biggest creativity killer (and how to write past it)
    •    Diner coffee, red lipstick, and the chaos of driving in NYC

This episode is part songwriting masterclass, part therapy session, and part ride-or-die girl chat. It’s raw. It’s hilarious. It’s important. ENJOY!

See ya later, Bye💋
