Hello, world, welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Tuesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the most popular or interesting occupations or professions who shares an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Laura DeVore. Welcome, Laura. Hi. It's good to be here.

Thanks so much for the invitation. It is a pleasure to connect with you. Laura, are you using your

talents doing work that you love? I am all the time. Well, we're going to dive into

that whole story. Laura DeVore is a writer and catalyst for change for individuals and systems.

Her wisdom comes from the field of psychology, transpersonal development, and spiritual psychology.

Most importantly, it comes from facing the darkest aspects of human

experience. She's a respected professional and has experienced trauma that once laid secreted in a dark

inner world. She is a survivor of abuse, sex trafficking, illegal pharmaceutical drug research,

and institutional abuse. She can show those who've experienced trauma the way through the dark. It's a pleasure to meet you, Laura. Before we get into

the whole backstory, take just a couple of minutes and tell our listeners around the world what you're

working on now that has you excited and motivated. Just a brief overview, and then we'll get in the whole story.

Well, I've just finished my book in this last year, and it's coming out on April 5th,

and so I'm excited about that, and I'm going to be doing a book tour around the country.

Give us the full title of the book.

Darkness was my candle, an odyssey of survival and grace.

Oh, well, that's exciting.

So you're going to be really promoting the book online and in person?

Yes, I am.
