This week's guest is the brilliantly charming and very British Laura Wood — author of 17 (yes, seventeen!) books including her newest adult rom-com, Let's Make a Scene. Laura is a screenwriter, novelist, unapologetic romantic, and former PhD student whose creative journey started as the ultimate procrastination project. In this episode, we dig into how a last-minute writing contest entry changed her entire life, the difference between writing for adults and young readers, and why procrastination might just be a secret creative superpower. Laura opens up about her writing process (spoiler: she's a speed demon), her love of dual timelines, and what it really takes to create effortless, seamless storytelling. We also get into why blank pages are terrifying, how she structures her novels like a mad genius, and how therapy — both real and fictional — shapes her characters. This conversation is part author confessional, part comedy, and part creative masterclass. Also, someone please get Laura to Costa Rica. Connect with Laura:

Laura Wood co-founded Invisible Creations about six years ago, inspired by her grandmother's struggles with mobility around her home. She noticed a glaring gap in the market for products that supported mobility without sacrificing style. Traditional aids like grab rails often look clinical and unappealing, making people feel like they were bringing a hospital into their home. Invisible Creations was born out of a desire to offer functional yet aesthetically pleasing solutions that everyone would be proud to have in their homes.Laura Wood LinkedinInvisible Creations WebsiteKey Takeaways Inclusive Design is for EveryoneDesign That Adapts with YouOutdoor Accessibility is CrucialMainstreaming Accessible ProductsCombatting Social IsolationFuture-Proofing HomesSecurity BenefitsTechnology and the Future of Accessible DesignGet in touch Thanks for listening to the Healthy Home Show Podcast.

Recorded on 20 October 2022 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar and Q&A with Dr Laura Wood. Danger, fear, conflict, and abuse have sadly impacted many of us, and are often a painful reality for our patients, family, and friends too. This session introduces how the incredible human brain and body adapts to threat, especially during the sensitive developmental window from before birth to around 26 years of age. We will explore what developmental (psychological) trauma can look like, how stress and trauma can affect our biology, and how to support people living in ‘survival-mode'. As we are all humans caring for other humans, this session aims to help us understand both ourselves and others better. Laura Wood is a paediatrician with special interest in human trafficking, childhood trauma recovery and health justice. She is the Research Director and Child & Family Lead at VITA, a clinician-led organisation dedicated to advancing the health and public health approach to human trafficking. Laura is completing her PhD in human trafficking and health with Lancaster University (UK) and is supporting the development of new social medicine and leadership training in the UK. Laura is married to Noel Aruparayil, ICMDA Regional Secretary for Eurasia. To listen live to future ICMDA webinars, visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/
Bethan talks about her many inspirations deriving from spending time in different countries while travelling. She explains how she lets color speak to her designs and patterns while explaining the design processes of her latest creations. Her love for Mexico strongly comes forward in the conversation and how the Mexican color palette has influenced her work. Bethan has always had an interest in the relation between people and the object and how she can reinforce that relation through time, and of course, color. Bethan Laura Wood has run a multidisciplinary studio since 2009 characterised by materials investigation, artisan collaboration and a passion for colour and detail. Residencies and location-based projects have become an important factor in her design process, often working in response to her location, in collaboration with local manufacturers, or reflecting back into her work the visual and material culture particular to that area. Bethan is fascinated by the connections we make with the everyday objects that surround us and, as a collector herself, likes to explore what drives people to hold onto one particular object while discarding another. Bethan explores these relationships and questions how they might become cultural conduits. She is interested in critical approaches to achieving sustainability within mass consumption and the production-driven context of the design industry.
