Lindsay sits down with longtime friend and multi-hyphenate powerhouse Chris Blair—entrepreneur, podcast host, artist manager, songwriter, author, amateur chef, pilot, and full-time lover of life. As the founder of Nashville’s iconic Listening Room Café and the force behind Emerge Nashville, Chris has spent nearly two decades championing songwriters, building businesses, and giving back through his Sound Good, Do Good initiative. He’s also a devoted husband, dad of three, and a guy Lindsay used to sing with back in the good ole days of Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge nearly 20 years ago—proof that the Nashville circle is small, wild, and full of stories.

This week on We Should Write, Lindsay sits down with award-winning author and keynote speaker Amy Daughters, a Texas-born storyteller with a wild, wonderful idea that changed her life: what if you wrote every single one of your Facebook friends a handwritten letter? In her heartfelt and hilariously human book “Dear Dana, that time I went crazy and wrote all 580 of my Facebook friends, a handwritten letter,,” Amy shares how a simple reconnection and a weekly letter to an old friend facing unthinkable loss, spiraled into 580 handwritten notes, deep unexpected friendships, and a profound reminder that community is often sitting right in front of us. Join us for a conversation that proves writing can be a lifeline, social media can spark real connection, and sometimes the most meaningful shifts begin with a stamp and a little courage.

This week on We Should Write, Lindsay Lawler is joined by author, Soul Talks podcast host, and jewelry designer Theresa Bruno for one of the most vulnerable conversations we’ve ever had on the show. Teresa’s new book, He’s Not Coming Back, chronicles the unthinkable loss of her husband to suicide and the lifelong journey of grief that now follows—not as something to “move past,” but as something to live with, honor, and transform. In this episode, Theresa will open up about how grief doesn’t take a vacation, why nature became her greatest healer, and how small, intentional rituals can keep love present even after loss. We talk about what it means to live fully when your life has been shattered, and how connection—real connection, without pretending—is the pathway to healing. And Theresa has wrapped this all up into her new book, and yes, continued to heal through writing. This is an episode for anyone who has ever lost someone or felt lost themselves, and Theresa offers a profound, gentle invitation to grieve, to love, and to begin again.

Lindsay welcomes to the show Larry Gatlin of Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers, a true Texas icon whose songs have resonated with generations. Larry began singing with his brothers Steve and Rudy as a child, and his journey from West Texas to Nashville stardom is one rooted in faith, hard work, and a deep love for the written word. Larry is more than a singer, he’s a gifted songwriter whose hits like “Broken Lady,” “All the Gold in California,” and “Houston (Means I’m One Day Closer to You)” captured both the spirit and storytelling heart of country music. He’s also been a presence in conservative circles, contributing commentary on Fox News and elsewhere. To our country-loving trucking audience, Larry Gatlin is exactly the kind of guest whose lyrics reflect real life, the road, home, and America — and whose voice still carries weight.
