One of the most difficult parts of writing a memoir for an author is being vulnerable and honest on the page. We worry about how many details to add and whether our story will hurt others, so we tend to edit ourselves. I was impressed with how vulnerable and open Laura Whitfield is in her memoir.

In this episode of "Authors Who Lead," I talk to Laura Whitfield about her journey writing her memoir, Untethered: Faith, Failure, and Finding Solid Ground, and how to be vulnerable on the page.
