What if the very thing you’re craving — peace, clarity, vitality — has been within you all along?

In this raw and insightful episode, I sit down with the incredible Elisa Kurylowicz, former elite athlete, mindset coach, and host of the Elisa Unfiltered Podcast, to talk about the wound of feminine sisterhood—the ways in which women struggle to build, maintain, and repair deep, meaningful friendships. We unpack the hidden layers of competition vs. collaboration, the subconscious wounds many women carry from childhood, and how they manifest in adulthood—whether through betrayal, exclusion, or self-sabotage. Elisa shares her own experiences of deep sisterhood breakups,...

Into my life walks Corrie Bignell, The Unregistered Nurse / Certified Self Sabotage Coach - with a workshop all about self sabotage. I was a co-facilitator at a retreat where I had the privilege of hearing all Corrie's work and wisdom. Corrie joins me today to talk ALL about the topic of self sabotage. You are going to want to listen to this. If you asked me two weeks ago if I self sabotage myself I would've said no. And once I listened to why most of us are unconsciously self sabotaging ourselves, it all made much more sense. And now my answer is, YES ... but...

This short episode is a solo episode talking about HEALING. The healing we've done. The healing we've yet to do. And the healing that is between where we are and where we want to be. Eight weeks ago I started to practice again after a four year break. In this time I have known that many of us are struggling in our wholeness. The stress (in all its forms), unprocessed emotions and trauma have left many humans managing ... versus thriving. Simply put, I'm sharing my thoughts and views on what's happening in the world right now and how you can move into a greater...

In this episode, I share my experience of moving to Costa Rica from Canada. For some this is a much anticipated podcast episode. I talk about the reason why we moved -- including concerns about Canada's "pandemic" response and governmental control. I talk about the trucker / freedom rally and how it influenced our decision. In a way we never saw coming. I cover how and why we chose Costa Rica and the area we are in - including our many challenges along the way. Also, the residency and visa process, access to healthcare, nutritious food and...

Working With Laura + Attending Retreats:
I have recently opened up some opportunities for women to work 1:1 with me in personal leadership coaching. This year my group programs are on pause … I can feel a deep level of 1:1 work that’s emerging for me and I’m creating as much space as possible for what’s coming through.
