It started as a celebration of getting paid to write, but it became so much more.

Betsy Armstrong got a tattoo of a semicolon inside a heart—at first, it was about her love of punctuation and the thrill of becoming a published writer. But after her daughter struggled with suicidal ideation, that semicolon became a symbol of survival, hope, and the power of pausing through pain.

In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Betsy and I talk about grief, motherhood, and the long journey to healing—one word, and sometimes one pause, at a time.

“I’ve never felt that kind of love before… and I haven’t felt it since.”

When Lisa Labozzo flatlined after a horrific car accident, she didn’t see a white light—but what she did feel was even more profound: an overwhelming sense of peace, warmth, and unconditional love.

In this clip, she shares what it was like to come face-to-face with something greater than herself… and how it changed the course of her life forever.

In my recent conversation with bestselling author Kaira Rouda, one message stood out loud and clear: your voice is your brand.

Whether she was writing marketing copy, business books, or domestic thrillers, Kaira found success by leaning into who she truly is—not who the market wanted her to be. As she put it, “The key to longevity in the world of authoredom is putting the real you in your brand.”

It’s a reminder for all of us: when your writing reflects your authentic self, readers can feel it. And when you try to fake it (like me, writing a romance under a pseudonym)? Well, let’s just say it’s a short trip to cringe-ville.

Authenticity breaks through. Always.

“The weight of carrying it is heavier than the reveal.”

In this powerful episode of Uncorking a Story, Rob tonkin opens up about the generational trauma that shaped his life—and the courage it took to break the cycle. From early childhood neglect to surviving abuse and navigating the highs and lows of the entertainment industry, Rob shares the truth behind his transformation. His memoir, As***le, is more than a provocative title—it’s a deeply vulnerable journey toward healing.

Rob reminds us that the trauma we inherit isn’t ours to keep carrying. That sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is let it out—and let it go. I know this truth personally. Writing has been essential in my own healing process, helping me release the weight of my own grief and unspoken pain.

If you’ve ever felt the heaviness of secrets, or the pressure to keep it all together, this one’s for you.

Moved my dad out of the home he loved—lived there longer than the house I grew up in.
The walls didn’t cry, but this chair…
Why does it smile?
Mocking me?
Comforting me?
Maybe both.
Because endings have a sense of humor too.

When Christina Adams’ father vanished from her life, he left behind more than just questions—he left behind a wound. Years later, Christina and her husband Anthony turned that pain into fiction with Chasing Shadows, a novel inspired by the secrets they uncovered about her father’s double life.

What began as a search for truth became something deeper: a path toward healing, understanding, and ultimately—compassion.

As Christina shared on Uncorking a Story, storytelling helped her see her father not just as someone who left—but as a human being. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes, writing isn’t just about the story we tell… it’s about the healing that happens along the way.

It all started in a yoga studio.

Samantha Greene Woodruff went from SVP at Nickelodeon to bestselling historical fiction author—and it wasn’t part of the plan. After leaving her high-powered job, she signed up for yoga teacher training. Then a friend suggested a novel writing class. One class. One idea. One lightning strike later… Sam found her true path.

She didn’t set out to be a novelist—but once the door cracked open, she charged through it.

“I said, I’m gonna write a novel. And I’m gonna call myself a writer—even before I felt like one.”

Hear how she turned plagues, patriarchy, and Greenwich gossip into must-read fiction.

🧠 “Menopause gets a scary rap—but what if it’s actually an opportunity?” 💫

Therapist and author Lauren Tetenbaum says it’s time to reframe how we talk about menopause. Instead of viewing it as a decline or something to “combat,” Lauren sees it as a turning point—where women feel more empowered, self-assured, and connected to their bodies than ever before.

“It’s not the end—it’s a beginning,” she tells me. “Let’s replace fear with curiosity.”
