EP 56 LAURA VELTZ: THE RUBBER BAND EFFECT
Description
This week on The Touchup™, we sit down with the incomparable Laura Veltz—songwriter, storyteller, and spiritual linebacker—whose impact on the music industry spans across pop, country, film, and everything in between.
From growing up in a family band to becoming the first woman to top Billboard’s Country Songwriter chart, Laura’s journey is as powerful as the songs she’s penned. (The Bones, Speechless, 29, What If I Never Get Over You—just to name a few.) But this episode? It’s not about the charts. It’s about the heart.
⸻
🔥 What We Touchup On:
• Creative survival: using songwriting as a tool to move through trauma
• Motherhood & breaking cycles: healing while raising emotionally safe kids
• Artistry vs. backlash: what it really felt like releasing “1965”
• The balance of business + soul in today’s music industry
• Why worrying is the biggest creativity killer (and how to write past it)
• Diner coffee, red lipstick, and the chaos of driving in NYC
This episode is part songwriting masterclass, part therapy session, and part ride-or-die girl chat. It’s raw. It’s hilarious. It’s important. ENJOY!
See ya later, Bye💋
