When things aren’t going so well in your life, it can be easy to fall into a funk and get down. It is less easy, however, to reframe your situation and take the positive out of it.

In this episode of Creativity: Uncovered, Lauren Hackney shares her story of how at the lowest point in her life, her creativity saved her.

In one year, Lauren lost her job and almost lost her husband, and her imaginative bedtime stories with her kids turned all of that around for her. Lauren is now the author of a series of kids books, The Lolly Shop series, and has no plans to stop writing.

• Losing her job and her husband’s near-fatal heart attack rocked Lauren’s life
