Hello, I’m Laura!
A Soul & Self-Worth Coach with a calling to help others reconnect with themselves and live a more fulfilling and joyful life.
A bit about me…
For most of my existence I was being dragged through life, pretty much numb and in survival mode. I was asleep at the wheel of my own life (in one of those fancy futuristic cars that drive themselves). For most of my adult life I knew there was something ‘off’…a tiny, quiet, inner voice struggling to be heard. I would hit lows throughout the years that would cause me to break down, but those weren’t big enough signals for me to pay attention to, as I would just move forward from there living the same life (maybe in a different job or apartment, but with the same ‘pit in my stomach’ feeling). And yes, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results – I’d say I was more confused and exhausted than insane though…just sayin’.
I thought this was just how life was supposed to be for ‘most of us’…
-
Wake up exhausted (no matter how much or how little sleep I got)
-
Hit the snooze button multiple times to try to delay the inevitable
-
Feel cranky and irritable for most of the day at a job I didn’t enjoy
-
Struggle with confidence and decision-making as I had no real sense of my true self
-
Struggle to try to ‘eat healthy’ (whatever that meant at that moment in time) and then be disappointed in myself if I didn’t
-
Binge watch tv shows and movies and then feel guilty for not doing something ‘more productive’, and finally…
-
Stay up way too late and spend too much time on my phone (again, leading to more guilt), before going to bed dreading the same kind of day tomorrow
Sound at all familiar??? Yikes…what a way to live in this one and only life we get.
Cue the pandemic hitting in 2020. I was very grateful to not have been impacted as much as others had been, but the gradual decline of my mental health slowly crept up on me (along with more guilt, from thoughts like ‘I have so much to be grateful for…why am I letting anxiety and depression creep in?’). By the end of the summer of 2021 I had hit my wall, and I made the difficult (but important) decision to take some time off work to focus on restoring myself, whatever that was going to look like. This time off ended up being truly life-changing for many reasons, and I’m so glad I took this time for myself (despite my guilt, and worrying about what I thought others might think of me).
So here I am…with a passion to pay-forward what I’ve learned throughout my life, but especially over the past few months, when I chose to deliberately give myself (that little voice inside) the loving attention I’ve been craving for years.
WARNING: If you hang out around here long enough, you may just:
-
Figure out your ‘higher-calling’
-
Feel more in control of your life (which is so empowering!)
-
Find yourself sleeping more deeply and feeling more rested
-
Wake up with energy (without hitting that snooze button at all!)
-
Develop deeper connections with other humans (hopefully I’m one of them!)
-
Connect with your true self deeper than you ever have before
-
Feel more moments of joy each day (sometimes out of nowhere!)
-
Be able to re-wire your brain to consciously change negative thoughts to positive ones
-
Begin to enjoy moving your body and eating nutritious food
-
Replace unhelpful habits with more supportive ones
-
Have more fun in your life!
I can’t wait to connect with you, to help you uncover and connect with your truest self, and proudly and joyfully show yourself off to the world!
Remember… YOU. ARE. WORTH. IT.
XO
Laura
