In Part 1 of this 3-Part Creative Ritual Series, Laura leads us through a sequence of breath work, sound healing + a closing meditation designed to access a new depth of our self-expression, unlocking our creative sovereignty. The purpose of this ritual is to learn how to trust what's coming through without trying to control it, or to manipulate it into something else that you think would be more desirable or more digestible to the people you're trying to access. In this practice, you will le...

This is a clip from one of our weekly live coaching calls from inside The Secret Garden. Inspired by questions + themes from inside our community, these rooms are designed to guide your exploration of new ways of being, thinking & leading.This week, we jammed on how our success isn't actually as limited by how much we give/do... as much as it’s limited by how much we feel safe to receive in return. What really makes us feel unsafe to receive? And what are all the things that we're doing o...

This is a clip from one of the weekly coaching calls inside of The Secret Garden. This week our conversation was based around being a patient, loving mirror for our clients and why the ability for us to be their space often means more than having them follow a 'strict plan'.

In this episode, we hold a conversation around the seasons of healing and growth that we are moving through ourselves. How do we know when it's safe to use our own real-time experiences to support our clients or to guide the work that we do?So often we hold ourselves back from sharing the vulnerabilities of our own journey until we have a clearly defined way of presenting ourselves that doesn't jeopardize our authority or expertise. But what if our current experience is the easiest way to acc...

The conversation around self doubt and wanting to give up in our industry needs to change. After a disheartening experience with a past mentor around this ^ topic, I vowed never to make someone else feel alone & never to put myself above another. From that place, I really committed to a new depth of vulnerability with you and with myself. In this episode, I felt emotionally hung over from a day filled with self doubt. It would be so easy for me to pretend that didn't happen. No ...

I attended a new yoga class recently where the instructor presented us with a quote that I felt so connected to that I couldn't help but bring it forward to you. He said, "Alignment is awareness in action"...The truth is, alignment is not the absence of discomfort...alignment is intentionally choosing even when we're uncomfortable. It's not chasing a specific outcome, but rather chasing the intention of what you're seeking to embody in the work you do with your clients and in your business.&...

We're going to explore the decisions we make that allow us to access our growth, and what we truly need to step into our next level.This is something I ha...

In our Seasonal Immersion this past month, we were talking all about time scarcity, the ways in which we allow our relationship with time to dictate how we move in our business, how we move in our life, and what we feel available for.

Hi loves! In this special episode, I'm introducing you to one of my students who is not only a member of The Secret Garden, but also stepped into her own transformation inside of a program I offer on occasion called Uncharted. We've had many different journeys together and it was a gift to watch her come home to herself in each chapter of her evolution.Similar to Steph, I often witness a sparkle in my students that they don't yet see themselves...there was so much in this conversation that I ...

Today, we're diving deep on a question I get asked often from my students on how to create a group program that feels intimate, connected and engaged.Every time I get asked this question, I get thrown back in time...because little do they know, The Secret Garden was not my first shot at running a group program or a membership style space. This has been over a decade in the making & the truth is, I've ran many group programs that might have been an awesome experience, but they ultimately f...

This is a clip from a recent IG Live I held that was inspired by my experiences with past mentors and how I learned to reclaim my inner safety + get back to a place where I trusted myself after many years of following someone else's path. As heart-centered coaches, it is imperative that we learn to trust ourselves to make decisions, to listen to our intuition, and to better become aware of what we received out of the decision to hire someone who we perceive to have wronged us, or we feel...

Recently, I was flipping through videos from 4-5 years ago and was cringing watching an old version of me speak. I thought that reaction was so interesting, because I remember creating those videos and feeling really proud of what I was saying and how I was saying it. At the time, I felt authentically me. Perhaps you relate to this experience?In this episode, I'm bringing you into my past, performative layers and how I created a new relationship with feeling safe being fully myself, regardles...

I believe coaches are the natural born givers of the world...the ones to serve, the ones to save, the ones to help, the ones to guide. If you're a heart-centered coach, you likely feel what your clients feel and desire nothing more than to take their pain away so that they can see what's actually possible for them. There is nothing more beautiful than someone who desires to guide another to a more peaceful, full version of their lives. But because this is the lens in which we operate, we...

Recently, I was invited to do a workshop for a company called StrongerU. They were expressing to me how so many of their coaches were struggling when a client wanted to stop working with them because of financial reasons, or because of overwhelm, bandwidth, and lack of time to commit to the journey.I thought that this was beautiful because it IS a real point of friction for coaches. We want nothing more than to convince our clients that they're worth the time...that it's important to make the...

I have a friend who is a heart-centered coach...she started her journey out as a dietician, but has since abandoned a lot of the traditional models to create a beautiful, heart-centered program. Very recently, she wanted to launch this new program into the world. So, she hired a mentor to help her do that. She followed every step perfectly - she wrote every email, she created every social media post, she included every testimonial...she followed exactly what she was given. And she ended ...
