The Love, Her Podcast: Breathwork, Healing and Coming Home to Yourself

Do you ever get so focused on where you want to go that you forget to look at how far you’ve already come? It’s easy to keep our eyes on the next goal, the next milestone, the next version of ourselves we’re trying to become. But what if part of becoming her is actually pausing long enough to recognize the woman you’ve already become? As I celebrate one year of The Love, Her Podcast, I’ve been ref...

Confidence isn't something you're born with - it's built through experience, and one of the simplest ways to build it might surprise you: giving (and receiving) compliments. In this episode, Laura shares her own 30-day challenge to compliment one person a day, what she learned about the courage it takes to say a kind thing out loud, and why fully receiving a compliment can feel even harder than gi...

If you have a dream that feels too silly or too outrageous to say out loud, this episode is for you. This week, Laura explores why the hardest part of dreaming isn't having the dream - it's admitting you want it. Through her own story of a forgotten childhood dream, Laura unpacks how our wildest dreams aren't really about the literal thing at all - they're pointing us toward a feeling we're cravin...

What did you dream about before someone told you it wasn't realistic? In this episode, I'm talking about the dreams we bury as adults, the ones we're told to outgrow because they're not "practical." I'll share the story of the night I finally told my husband I wanted to write a book, and why it doesn't matter if I ever finish it. We'll talk about why dreaming...

I came across a quote recently that I can't stop thinking about: company is more powerful than willpower. How many times have you told yourself you have to do it all, do it all perfectly, and do it all alone? In this episode, I'm getting real about a moment I don't usually admit to publicly: sitting on my patio, in tears, ready to give up on something that mattered to me. I'll walk...

Do you ever find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no because you're afraid of someone's reaction? Maybe you walk on eggshells around certain people. Maybe you feel responsible for keeping everyone happy. Or maybe you've gotten so used to putting other people's needs first that you're not even sure what  you  want anymore. In this episode of The Love, Her Podcast , we're talking abou...

Have you ever felt guilty for something good happening in your life, simply because someone you love didn't get the same experience? In this episode, Laura explores a pattern so many high-achieving women carry without realizing it: the belief that their own joy somehow costs someone else. Through a deeply personal story, Laura unpacks the difference between empathy and taking on responsibility...

If you’re a mom who has ever felt guilty for wanting something more, this episode is for you.

Feelings aren't just what we run from — they're also what we're chasing, often without even realizing it. In this episode, I share the story of graduating with my doctorate degree after eight years of work, and feeling completely empty the moment I crossed that stage. I thought worthiness was waiting for me on the other side of that accomplishment. It wasn't. And it took me years to understand tha...

Last week, we talked about taking the action that scares you. But after that episode, Laura realized something deeper: it's rarely the action itself that holds us back – it's the feeling we're afraid that action will create. In this episode, Laura breaks down why your brain treats emotional discomfort like physical danger (yes, even your body's stress response gets involved), and shares two person...

Feeling unmotivated, uninspired, or stuck? In this episode, I'm sharing the one shift that has helped me move myself forward faster than anything else: taking the action that scares me most. I'll walk you through two personal stories - the time I went live on Instagram for the first time (and it was a total disaster), and a moment with my own coach that pushed me to have a conversation I'd been av...

Have you ever felt like you've lost your motivation? Maybe you haven't. Maybe you've just been waiting for motivation to come before taking the next step. This week, I'm sharing a conversation I almost didn't record. I was feeling burnt out, questioning myself, and wondering if I still had anything valuable to say. But as I sat down and pressed record, I realized something: action creates motivati...

Have you ever been told you were too sensitive? Too loud? Too quiet? Too ambitious? What if the people who said that were wrong? In this episode, Laura shares a recent conversation with her brother that changed how she sees one of her oldest beliefs about herself - that she was "too sensitive." She opens up about how that belief shaped her, and the surprising realization that the very qu...

If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you keep repeating the same patterns over and over again, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I'm sharing one of the biggest lessons I've learned on my own personal growth journey: you can't change what you're unwilling or unable to see. For years, I believed my circumstances, other people, or bad luck were holdin...

Five years ago, I blew out my birthday candles feeling completely lost. I was unhappy, disconnected from myself, and had no idea how much my life was about to change. Recently, I found myself caught in a familiar trap: comparison. After seeing another coach's incredible success, I started questioning my own progress and making her accomplishments mean something about me. But that experience remind...

What if the thing that's holding you back isn't a lack of confidence – but a fear of becoming arrogant? In this episode, Laura shares a powerful mindset shift that changed her life. For years, she held herself back because she subconsciously believed that stepping into her confidence would make her conceited. What she discovered instead is that true confidence and arrogance are actually opposites....

What if the most powerful thing you could do was simply be yourself? In this episode, Laura shares what has actually happened in her own life as she has stepped more and more into her true self — the beautiful things, and the hard things too.

What happens when you spend years pretending you’re okay… when deep down, you’re drowning?

What if the reason affirmations haven’t worked for you is because you’re trying to jump too far, too fast? In today’s episode, Laura opens up about the moment she sat in front of a mirror five years ago and physically could not say the words, “I am beautiful.” What followed was not overnight self-love, but a slow and honest journey of learning how to stop bullying herself and start speaking to her...

There was a version of Laura that genuinely believed everyone in her life deserved better. A better mom. A better woman. A better person. And she hid that pain behind a smile for years - performing confidence, showing up, saying all the right things - while silently falling apart on the inside. In this season three kickoff episode, Laura gets more vulnerable than ever before and opens up about why...
