Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 • Duration 22:16

Send us a text

In this episode of Between The Bells, I’m joined by copywriter and workshop leader Laura Sands.

We chat about:

✍️ How Laura went from blogging on maternity leave to full-time freelance copywriting

🧠 Why she believes good writing starts with knowing what good looks like

🧰 The power of breaking writing into three steps: planning, drafting, editing

💬 How to apply the “Rule of One” to keep your copy clear, focused and effective

💡 Tips on navigating AI tools with confidence, not fear

Bell Ringing Takeaway: Your health is your business. Laura’s reminder to look after the basics - movement, rest, nutrition, and support - is vital for long-term success.

School Drop-Off Shoutout: No school run these days - just one good coffee, a stroll in the garden, and a fresh mindset to start the day right.

Homework Assignment: Apply Laura’s “Rule of One” to your next piece of writing - one reader, one message, one focus. Simplicity is the secret to copy that connects.
