Ronit Plank (she/her) is a writer, podcaster, teacher, and storyteller with a passion for learning how someone else has lived or survived. She loves the way stories–whether fiction, nonfiction, or interviews–bridge vastly different lived experiences and help connect those who might not otherwise have found each other. She wrote her memoir When She Comes Back to offer a window into how losing her mother to a cult impacted her childhood and how, after years of emotional distance, they reconciled when she became a mother herself. She created the podcast And Then Everything Changed to highlight the lives of people who have survived hardship, trauma, or pain and have made it their mission to help others find their way.
