Meet Laura
I'm in joyful recovery from juggling too much on the balance beam of life.
Sound familiar?
In my struggle to achieve the myth of worldly balance, and be everything to everyone, my journey from brokenness to healing continues. I've learned how to take those things which have thrown me off course and allow them to be used as a gift to help other women find hope and purpose along their way.
About Me
I became a growth and wellness coach after my own journey of transformation. When my kids entered the teen years, I soon realized I had overidentified with my various roles, especially as a mom. After battling infertility issues, being a mom eventually became an idol. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being an involved and loving mom, but I needed to figure out who I am outside of that role if I was going to prepare for the empty nest and not go nuts!
Along the way, I learned how our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health are inextricably woven together. Think of a tapestry. If you look at the back, you only see the chaos, but when you look at the front, you witness the masterpiece. All of your experiences come together to make the masterpiece of YOU! Nothing is wasted or lost. Intentional Growth and Wellness is about walking with you along the journey of weaving your path to create the transformed life of wellness you deserve. I would love to encourage, empower, and equip you to live your best life!
I've been in the trenches. Some of what I've experienced in life and what fuels my passion for coaching includes fertility issues, parenting (now into the young adult years), homeschooling, anxiety and depression, ADHD, lack of confidence, chronic pain, co-dependency, marital and financial struggles, stunted spiritual growth, and the loss of my mom to dementia when she was only 64 years old. I was stuck in the mire for a time, and neglected my self-care.
Here is this safe space, what you see is what you get. Being transparent with each other allows us to stop the comparison game, get real, appreciate, and be joyful about whom we are created to be.
I'm a women's leader, writer, speaker, and life coach. I'm also a former homeschool mom, and a loving wife of 31 years (if you don't count the bump in the road).
And the beach is my happy place.
Here you will find encouragement, empowerment and equipping to discover joy, contentment, confidence, and wellness in the midst of life's chaos. You'll also begin to understand more about how you've been created to be completely unique, and I'm so grateful you're here with all your gifts, personality, experience, and more. You're not alone, and life coaching can help you sift through the noise and focus on getting back to you.

The journey to your authentic self is about to begin. I hope you'll allow me to share some of what I've learned along the way and walk with you as you take the brave next steps to fully understand how you are uniquely created to live boldly and bravely into this precious life.
The world needs the unique and authentic you.
May your doing flow from your being,
-Laura
