Description

My guest this week Leslie A. Rasmussen knows what it means to start over. She’s gone from writing sitcoms in Hollywood (Roseanne and The Wild Thornberrys) to running a nutrition business to becoming a novelist—all while raising a family and navigating life’s big shifts. She speaks from the heart about womanhood, identity, and what it really takes to reinvent yourself. Her latest novel, When People Leave, is a moving story about three sisters coping with their mother’s suicide and the secrets she left behind. It’s a powerful look at family, forgiveness, and the quiet strength of women finding their way through loss. Leslie has been published in the Huffington Post and speaks on panels discussing women empowerment. Learn more about Leslie through her website: https://www.lesliearasmussen.com/
