Welcome to the Women Writing podcast. In this episode, I’m taking a coffee break with author Randi-Lee Bowslaugh.

Randi is a mental health advocate, author, and YouTube host of the Write or Die Show. She started writing at 14 years old as a coping strategy for her depression. Twenty years later she is now a mom, grandma, and thriving creative individual.
