Ever thought that the messiest chapters of your life might actually be the best invitations to something new? On this episode of A World of Difference, host Lori Adams-Brown sat down with Laura Munson (she’s a bestselling author and the founder of Haven Writing Retreats) to talk about how those curveballs life throws at us can actually wake up our creativity.

We got real about divorce, loss, and those times when it feels like everything’s falling apart. Laura shares how writing and storytelling helped her find freedom and even a little bit of wonder, right in the middle of the chaos. She’s traveled everywhere...Montana, Ireland, Morocco, Tuscany...and it’s clear that travel and a willingness to see things differently can open up a whole new side of ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or wished for more meaning in your day-to-day, this one’s for you. We dig into why connecting with others, telling your story, and leaning into a little bit of wonder can help you bounce back and even feel more alive.

You don’t have to be a writer to get something out of it. Just bring your curiosity and maybe let yourself be surprised by what you find.
