    I think we can all agree that self-worth should be innate. We all are born equal and worthy. So why do some feel like God’s favorites, while others struggle with low self-worth? This episode Laura dives into how worthiness wounds show up in our lives often stemming from our reflections from the father, and how this reflection supports of hinders the connection between our worth, our passions and our purpose.

  • Forgiveness needs a new publicist
    2 Oct 2026

    Forgiveness is not because they deserve it. It's certainly not a "welcome back in" sign. This episode Laura breaks down the fundamentals of how to approach forgiving. And how when done too quickly, forgiveness can actually wind up holding us back in a place of resentment. Forgiveness isn't for them, it's for us.
