My Story and Purpose

Professionalism and Experience

Professionalism and Experience

Laurie grew up the second oldest in a family of four daughters…talk about dealing with the roller coaster that is the life of teenagers!  Her mother has spent four decades “saving the authentic selves” of her girls. Her quest for empowering girls to believe in themselves and feel a sense of true belonging began after Laurie's own battle with bulimia/anorexia in her teens and witnessing the pain and devastation of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide.  


As a lifelong advocate for youth, Laurie has 20+ years of related comprehensive professional experience in building and leading teams, content design and development, and delivering programs for girls, women, and moms.


What she has learned by “getting real” with people of all ages is that we all feel inadequate in some way, that we feel not good enough, that we need to be perfect to be accepted and to be worthy. 



















Laurie’s purpose and mission includes help others let go of scarcity and perfectionism…to feel sufficient: 

“YOU ARE ENOUGH. You are WORTHY – NOW, TODAY.”


LOVE YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE 

& WHO YOU WILL BECOME


"The Love & Light in me sees, recognizes and honors the Love & Light in you. You are strong, you are worth it, and you are worthy - just as you are."  - Laurie
