Laura Reed was at her wit's end. She was sitting at the dining room table. A young mother. A father not around. A mouth to feed. Then she had and "awakening." Here what happened next on this episode of Life's New Normal Podcast.

Laura relocated from Johannesburg to North Carolina while she was still a child, but her family carried their culture and traditions (as well as their love for writing) with them wherever they went. At nine years old she saw her first poem published in print, and at fourteen, she picked up her first guitar and set her poems to music. 

The rest of the story is not history, but how her greatness as an artist is born from struggle. 

This is a powerful episode. You will not need a kleenex. Well, maybe you will, but not because of her story, but because you will cry from what you should have accomplished in life if you just pressed through your struggle.
