Hey! I’m Laura.
I’m a 43-year-old mom to my three favorite people in the universe, and a self-proclaimed foodie who believes that sharing a meal can be one of the best ways to connect, learn, and grow. I’m an adventurer at heart, whether it’s taking photos, gardening, or wandering through Home Depot, and I’m always up for a good conversation where we both walk away better people. (It’s starting to sound like my dating profile, but hey, I’m all about honesty!)
My journey with self-love has been anything but simple. Growing up, I struggled with my own sense of worth, and it wasn’t until later in life that I truly understood the depth of the transformation I needed. I started this blog with a simple goal: to share my story in the hope that it might inspire others who are also struggling with their own sense of self-love and identity. Through years of therapy, self-reflection, and big changes—like the birth of my youngest daughter, the loss of my job, and the sudden passing of my mother—I’ve learned that self-love is a journey, not a destination. It’s about the action that follows the words we speak to ourselves.
Today, I proudly affirm that I am a strong, confident, healthy, and empowered woman—not defined by any one role, but by the courage to reinvent myself every day. This blog is a space for personal growth, healing, and authenticity. I share the tools, lessons, and insights that helped me heal and embrace my true self.
Along this journey, I’ve written a book, Is It An Open Bar?, a journal of self-discovery where I dive deep into how I got to where I am today—filled with lessons, realizations, and the moments that transformed my life.
I am also a coach, leading women on their own personal growth journeys through my monthly offering, The Self Love Club. It’s an empowering virtual community where women come together to build confidence, share experiences, and connect on a deeper level. Through weekly sessions, we support each other as we grow, heal, and thrive.
In addition, I host The My Inner Struggle Podcast, available on YouTube and Spotify, where I have authentic conversations with incredible individuals who share their journeys of personal growth, resilience, and transformation.
To help others stay focused on their goals and maintain clarity throughout their days, I’ve also published two journals: one a Daily Planner and the other a Daily Journal. These tools are designed to help guide you through your day, keep your goals in front of you, and help you build the habits necessary for lasting growth.
I’ve learned that each day is a new beginning—an opportunity to grow, reflect, and make a positive impact on the world around me. I’m committed to showing up for myself and others with love, authenticity, and a bit of humor along the way. The lessons I’ve learned are the foundation of everything I offer on this site.
Where will this journey take me? I’m not sure, but I’ve learned that living fully in the present is what truly matters.
So, whether you’re here for inspiration, healing, or just a bit of encouragement, I’m sending you all the love. You are not alone.
Laura
