Awaken and Align

After 15 years of chasing job titles and promotional raises in the corporate world, Chris realized she wasn't chasing what really mattered to her. And, she started to lose control over her true destiny. So after years of climbing the corporate ladder in one of the most iconic cities in the world - New York City, and even working with some A-list celebrities, she quit everything in the summer of 2019 to pursue a new chapter aligned with her authentic self and vowed to chase every one of her dreams, not bound by any other factor besides her inner compass. This journey led her to move to Europe to fulfill one of her biggest (and a 20 year) dreams and to have more meaning in her work by inspiring men and women to always live fully in the present and always on their own terms. This new life mission led her to launch P.S. Younger Self, a platform and community to share wisdom from inspirational entrepreneurs, life coaches, creatives and thought leaders from around the world to help more people crush their fears and optimize their lifestyles to live a life without regrets.

Karen Perez is truly a face behind a mask-- the mask. The New York-based Stylist/Designer launched Second Wind, a boutique quickly turning heads for its empowering line of handcrafted masks.

Second Wind carries the intent to empower women with every decision. With every piece Second Wind brings to life, there is a message of spirit, equality, and persistence as the world embraces a new normal.

The law of attraction is just one of the 12 universal laws, and getting familiar with the other 11 can help us unlock a more spiritually aligned life. The law of attraction is about matching energetic frequencies to attract the things we desire into our experience. It is based on the idea that like attracts like, but you can also repel. Whatever you are focused on grows – be it good or bad, negative or positive. You might be asking yourself then why don't I have the thing? Or my person? Maybe you need to incorporate the other 11 Universal Laws. In this solo episode, Laura talks about each of the 12 Universal Laws in-depth with practical examples.
