This is Words in the Raw. I’m Amanda Cook: wife, mother, woman of faith, voice over artist, and writer. Writing is therapy—it clears the mind, cleanses the soul, expresses joy, and so much more. I share my writing here (in all its varieties) in case any of my words, raw as they are, resonate with you. And if you’re ready, I hope this podcast inspires you to find and write down your own words too.
