An Interview with Author Lynda Williams on Grit, Art, and the Power of the Anti-Hero
In this episode of The Molten Truth, Zoey Michaels sits down with Lynda Williams, author of The Beauty and the Hell of It, a collection of raw, luminous stories born from life’s most unforgiving moments.
Lynda shares the journey behind the words—the pivotal decision to invest in herself as a writer, the transformative workshop that cracked her open, and the belief that even in chaos, there’s a pulse worth capturing.
Together, they dive deep into:
Why some of our worst days become the most honest art
How women can—and should—take up space as anti-heroes
What it means to write without flinching
The beauty that exists not in spite of the hell, but within it
This conversation is a love letter to the writers, the brokenhearted, the brave, and anyone who’s ever wondered if pain can become purpose.
