This week on We Should Write, Lindsay sits down with one of her all-time favorite humans and longtime co-writing partners, Chris Roberts—yes, that Chris Roberts: Grammy-winning, multi-instrumentalist, original Broadway cast member of The Civil War, founding member of One Flew South, and one of the most wildly versatile voices in Nashville. For nearly twenty years he’s been part of Lindsay's creative DNA—traveling the country with her singing at truck stops, writing everything from trucking anthems to pop melodies, playing writers’ retreats, and shaping so much of the music born in her corner of this city. But this week we will dive fully into HIS story of how writing has shaped his life. His songs have landed cuts with H.E.R., Ashley McBryde, Matt Stell, Ashley Campbell, and even the Super Bowl, Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed, 12 Strong, and half the networks you can name. From bluegrass to classical to video-game pop, Chris is brilliance, chaos, heart, and hilarity in one human—and Lindsay is truly honored to share him with you this week.

This week on We Should Write, Lindsay sits down with journalist Mark Gray, longtime PEOPLE and Rolling Stone correspondent and the sole print reporter on the ground during the 2017 Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting—and Mary Jo von Tillow, who lost her husband Kurt in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Together, they discuss their new book The Las Vegas Massacre Connections, a deeply human exploration of the unexpected bonds, healing journeys, and acts of courage that emerged in the years after the tragedy. Lindsay shares her own intertwined story with the von Tillow family, offering a conversation that is equal parts grief, resilience, connection, and the quiet strength of everyday Americans.

This week on We Should Write, Lindsay steps into unknown territory with first time author Heather Ogden—a 23-year-old writer, fantasy world-builder, and quiet-force-of-nature. Her gift didn’t begin with a dream of authorship but with a kid chasing YouTube fame and accidentally discovering her purpose. An introvert who finds meaning in silence and power in imagination, Heather creates morally gray characters, emotionally charged worlds, and stories that ask the questions most people are afraid to say out loud. What started as amateur scripts became backstories, then short stories, and eventually full novels as she realized she didn’t want the spotlight—she wanted to build universes. In this conversation, Heather opens up about creativity, identity, and the unexpected journey of becoming a storyteller, all while honoring the people who helped her find her way.

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.
