🎙️ Chatting with Betsy – Featuring Lonnee Rey
In this episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel welcomes Lonnee Rey — a transformational writing coach, award-winning editor, ghostwriter, and 19-time best-selling author. Lonnee is the founder of A Ray of Light Publishing and the visionary behind weekend writing workshops that helped create 16 best-selling anthologies.
A Powerful Voice for Late Bloomers
Lonnee Rey has been featured on The Tyra Banks Show and The Steve Harvey Show. Her personal journey — from an abusive marriage to rediscovering her strength through writing — is deeply moving. A skating accident unexpectedly opened the door to her career in hosting writing retreats that changed lives.
During the interview, Lonnee discusses the creation of her bestselling books:
How to Deal With a Dumbass: What to Do and Say When They Come Your Way
Life Lessons Learned from a Lousy Mother
Both titles became #1 international bestsellers and offer a blend of truth, humor, and empowerment.
Highlights from the Conversation
Betsy and Lonnee talk about what it means to be a late bloomer and why it’s never too late to reset your life. Lonnee shares a guiding idea from her book:
Awareness + Acceptance + Action = Change (page 154)
She also asks herself this simple but powerful question each day:
“How can I have more fun today?”
Betsy reflects on her own experiences with blooming later in life and finding purpose after personal challenges.
