In a culture obsessed with consuming more information, this heartfelt teaching from Laura is a clarion call to pause and ask: Are we living what we know?

In this intimate and powerful session, Laura explores the gap between understanding and embodiment, reminding us that knowledge without integration doesn’t create transformation—it creates pressure. She invites us to take radical responsibility for our own growth by engaging in small, courageous experiments that teach the body safety, presence, and adaptability in real time.

With compassion and clarity, Laura explains why our nervous systems often resist even the changes we consciously desire. Drawing on her experience teaching emotional intelligence, she shares why intellectual insight alone isn’t enough—and why real change requires us to bring the body along for the journey. It’s not about perfection; it’s about returning to ourselves again and again with gentleness, curiosity, and truth.

💡 You’ll learn:

  • Why information doesn’t equal transformation

  • How the body’s intelligence protects you—and how to work with it

  • What “micro-experiments” are and how they create lasting change

  • Why emotional safety is a prerequisite for growth

  • How to stop outsourcing worth and start embodying your wisdom

 

This episode is a loving, grounded reminder that your growth is not a race to win but a relationship to deepen—with yourself, your nervous system, and your inner truth.
If you’re ready to move beyond knowing and step into becoming, this conversation is your invitation.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Jason Lange, men's work facilitator, and the visionary behind MensGroup.com, to explore the transformative power of male connection and emotional authenticity.

 

Jason shares how vulnerability, accountability, and community can help men heal and grow. We dive into the cultural challenges men face when it comes to expressing emotions, why so many suffer in silence, and how safe, supportive spaces are helping to rewrite the script around masculinity.

Topics we cover:

What healthy masculinity looks like today

The loneliness epidemic among men

How group work helps men process pain and show up fully

The intersection of personal growth and collective healing

Why emotional safety is foundational in any relationship

 

Tune in for a heartfelt, eye-opening dialogue that invites us all—regardless of gender—to rethink how we connect, communicate, and support each other.

The Myth of Balance & The Wisdom You Find Along the Way

What if balance isn't a destination, but a rhythm we learn to move with?

In this soul-nourishing conversation, Jess Gruss joins Laura to unravel the myth of balance as a perfectly distributed 50/50 life.

 

Together, they explore the idea of balance as a living practice—a process of returning to presence, making micro-adjustments, and honoring the truth that imbalance is not failure, but a call to realignment. With compassion and insight, they guide listeners through the dance of groundedness and disruption, revealing the deep wisdom that emerges when we stop striving for perfection and start tuning into what’s real.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling short of “having it all together,” this episode offers a breath of fresh air and a powerful reframing that might change the way you see everything.

🎧 Tune in for reflection, freedom, and practical tools to support your own journey back to center.

Why is it so hard to show up for ourselves—especially when it matters most?

In this honest and soul-stirring episode, Laura unpacks the hidden patterns of self-abandonment that so many of us carry: people-pleasing, over-giving, poor boundaries, and the fear of being “too much” or “not enough.” With deep personal insight and gentle wisdom, she reveals how these patterns form, how they protect us—and how they quietly keep us disconnected from our own worth.

Through raw storytelling and reflective prompts, Laura invites you to look beneath the surface of your habits and ask: What am I afraid will happen if I choose myself?

💡 In this episode, you’ll explore:

  • What self-abandonment looks like in real life—and why it’s so common

  • How to identify the fear-based beliefs driving your people-pleasing

  • Laura’s personal story of rewriting her relationship with self-worth

🌱 Healing starts with one brave step: showing up for the person who needs you most—you.

Becoming the Love You Seek

We spend so much of our lives searching—for connection, for the right partner, for a love that finally feels like home. But what if the most powerful love story begins within?

In this transformative episode, Laura challenges the myth that love is something we find and instead invites us to become the love we seek. With wisdom and warmth, she explores what it truly means to build a relationship with yourself that is grounded in acceptance, courage, and radical self-compassion.

 

From redefining love beyond the transactional to embracing the grit and grace of real self-love, this conversation will shift how you think about intimacy, partnership, and your own worth.

💔✨ In this episode:

  • Why self-love is the foundation for lasting relationships

  • How to stop outsourcing your worth to others

  • The bravery it takes to love yourself through pain, growth, and change

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Fred Moss — psychiatrist, speaker, and author — for a raw and eye-opening conversation about the power of human connection in the healing process.
