Laurie Yarnell Writes What We’re All Thinking

Description

She met her husband on day two, got tear-gassed in Collegetown, and now she writes the stuff everyone’s hoping someone is brave enough to publish. 

She is.

Journalist and essayist Laurie Yarnell joins us to talk about her Cornell roots, the art of freelancing for Good Housekeeping and HuffPost, and why some stories—second marriages, senior sex, and nosy neighbors—need to be written. 

Thankfully she counseled herself out of counseling and into so many publications we all love to read.

She's incredibly fun and so kind that it was difficult to get any pet peeves out of her. 

We did.

Shout out to Buddy and Georgia - tune in to find out who they are.
