Hey mama! This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in motherhood, convincing yourself “this is just how it is,” or talking yourself out of getting support because it feels indulgent, selfish, or “not necessary.” Today, Laura sits down with Raven—a mom of five, homeschooling pro, football-coach wife, online business manager, and full-on chaos navigator—to unpack one of the biggest traps moms get stuck in: believing they’re not allowed to want more.

This conversation is raw, hilarious, emotional, and honestly… healing. Raven brings the exact thoughts so many moms are silently living with: I don’t have a choice. I can’t spend money on myself. My chaos is just who I am. Other women can thrive, but not me. And Laura—through coaching, compassion, and a whole lot of truth bombs—helps her see what’s actually going on underneath that guilt.

You’re going to hear the exact mindset patterns keeping moms stuck in survival mode—and how to finally step into a version of life that feels peaceful, fun, intentional, and yes… free.

Inside this episode:

• The mental gymnastics moms do when spending money on themselves
• Why investments in our emotional wellbeing feel “indulgent” (spoiler: conditioning)
• The “Chad Filter” and how men make decisions without the guilt spiral
• Why chaos can feel familiar—and why our brains cling to it
• The difference between discomfort that keeps you stuck vs discomfort that leads to growth
• How motherhood martyrdom gets passed from generation to generation
• What it actually means to model joy, freedom, and fun for your kids
• How your energy affects your business, your family, and your ability to thrive
• The real fear behind joining Free the Moms (and why it’s totally normal)

If you’ve ever scrolled a sales page 12 times, gone back and forth for days, or felt that gut pull toward something that could help you—only to talk yourself out of it—this episode will feel like taking a breath you didn’t know you were holding.

Hey, mama! If you've ever felt trapped in the binge–restrict cycle—being “good” all week only to find yourself raiding the pantry by Friday night—this episode is going to set you free. I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach, Amber Abila, who shares her powerful story of overcoming binge eating and how dieting actually creates the very problem we’re trying to fix.

Together, we unpack why calorie counting and over-restriction lead to overeating, how to rewire your brain to end bingeing for good, and what healthy restriction really looks like (because yes, there’s such a thing!). You’ll walk away with a new understanding of what’s happening in your brain and how to step into real food freedom—without the guilt, shame, or “start-again-Monday” mindset.

We cover:

• The difference between binge eating and overeating (and why both start with restriction)
• Why dieting and calorie counting backfire—and what to do instead
• How to recognize “mental restriction” even when you’re eating enough
• What healthy, loving boundaries with food look like
• How to sit with urges and break the binge habit for good
• Why intuitive eating alone might not be the full answer
• What real recovery and food freedom can look like long-term

Hey, babes! This episode is extra special because it’s a peek inside a real live coaching call from inside the Free The Moms membership. You’ll hear me coach moms through all the messy, beautiful parts of life—setting boundaries, managing worry, staying calm when things get hectic (or when there are cookies everywhere 😅), and finding peace in the chaos.

We start with a grounding practice to come back to the body, followed by powerful coaching moments on:

• Turning worrying as a habit into calm presence
• Creating boundaries that buy you peace (and actually holding them!)
• What to do when other people’s emotions trigger yours
• How to stay in self-love even when habit change feels “messy”
• Shifting from resistance into radical acceptance

You’ll also hear me share quotes from Brianna Wiest and Glennon Doyle that will hit you right in the heart—especially if you’ve ever struggled with mom guilt or felt like you’re disappearing for your family. This is your permission slip to stop being a martyr and start being a model. 💕

Hey mama---if you've ever said "I'm just not a journaler," this one's for you. 💌 I sat down with Ashley, The Journaling Coach, to talk all things journaling---how it can reconnect you to yourself, release stress, and literally change your life. Whether you haven't touched a journal since middle school or already love a good brain dump, you're going to see journaling in a whole new way after this episode.

Ashley shares how a late-night journaling session after heartbreak turned into her life's work---helping others process, heal, and come home to themselves through writing. Together, we dive into why journaling matters so much for moms, how to start even if it feels awkward, and how this simple daily act can help you drop guilt, reclaim joy, and remember who you are beyond motherhood.

Here's what we talk about:  

• Why journaling is one of the fastest ways to get out of your head and into your heart  
• How writing helps you uncover subconscious stories and rewire your brain  
• The truth about why so many moms avoid journaling---and how to rebuild trust with yourself  
• Ashley's favorite go-to prompts (including the life-changing one: "What do I need more of?")  
• How journaling and fun go hand-in-hand (yes, healing can actually be FUN!)  
• The difference between brain dumping and prompted writing---and when to use each  
• Why giving yourself permission to write imperfectly is a radical act of self-care

And you'll hear me talk about my new favorite challenge: "Felt Guilty, Did It Anyway." Because when we model self-care and wholeness, we show our kids that love doesn't mean disappearing---it means being fully alive.

You know how I always say that restriction doesn't work for weight loss? Well, it turns out it doesn't work for money either. Germaine and I jam on all the sneaky money traps we fall into as women and moms --- and how we can finally free ourselves from them.

I sat down with my friend Germaine Foley, a total money queen who teaches women how to build wealth without restriction, deprivation, or overwhelm. You're going to be obsessed.

Germaine used to have over $200K in debt, and now she's completely turned it around. She shares how she built wealth without giving up lattes, vacations, or joy (yes, please!). Her approach --- the Do Both Method --- is all about building wealth and enjoying life at the same time.

Here's what we dive into:\

• The invisible bars that keep us stuck in money cages
• Why "just make more money" isn't actually the solution
• How crash diets and strict budgets are basically the same trap
• The mindset shift to do both --- live now and build for later
• How to align your spending with what actually matters to you
• My favorite takeaway: money needs attention, but not obsession (like a good partner!)
• Germaine's 3-account system that makes managing money simple and fun
• How to stop ignoring your finances --- and start feeling empowered by them
• Why spending on yourself isn't selfish --- it's smart, powerful, and necessary

I seriously got so fired up during this convo because the parallels between money and weight loss are wild. Both are about intention, not punishment. Attention, not restriction. Freedom, not perfection.

If you're ready to change your relationship with money (and honestly, your whole life), go check out Germaine's free private podcast

Or if you're like, "I need this woman in my life," book a consult with her.

This one's for every woman who's ever felt like slowing down isn't safe. Laura sits down with the incredible Krista Williams---cofounder of Almost 30, host of Morning Microdose, and author of Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love---to talk about what it really means to live in your divine feminine.

They dive into the tension so many of us feel between hustle and flow, between doing and receiving, and how to finally find balance between the masculine and feminine within us. Krista shares her journey from burnout and body shame to grounded self-trust, feminine embodiment, and a deeper relationship with God. Together, they explore how surrendering control can actually create more success, pleasure, and peace.

This is an episode about trusting your body, letting go of the rulebooks, and finding safety in softness---even when it feels rebellious. You'll walk away with a whole new understanding of feminine energy, worthiness, and what freedom can look like when you stop trying to earn it.

You'll hear:

• What the divine feminine really means (and why it's not weakness)
• How to find safety in rest, softness, and slowness
• Why balancing masculine and feminine energy leads to more creativity and ease
• The truth about healing your body image and ending the "thin = lovable" lie

Okay mamas, this one is FUN—you get my hubby Brian on the pod! 🙌 We’re diving into a hilarious (and kind of eye-opening) story from the first week of school that showed me just how differently moms and dads experience guilt. 

I was over here spiraling with full-on *mom guilt* for missing my son’s first day of kindergarten… meanwhile, Brian casually admits he didn’t feel guilty at all for missing our daughter’s big day. Like, what?! 😂 

So in this episode we’re breaking it all down—why moms carry the emotional load, why dads seem totally unbothered, and what we can actually *learn* from them about letting go of guilt. 

You’ll hear us laugh, tease, and keep it totally real about:

• Why dads often skip the guilt trip altogether  
• How our cultural “codes” shape what we think parenting *should* look like  
• Why trusting our partners (and our kids!) can free us up big time  
• How letting our kids feel their feelings is actually a gift  
• What happens when we stop trying to be everywhere, every time  

This convo is equal parts juicy, lighthearted, and freeing. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by mom guilt, I promise this will leave you laughing and breathing easier. And if you’re ready to really practice ditching the guilt (plus people-pleasing and perfectionism), come join me inside Free the Moms—we’re doing the work daily, live or on demand, and it’s already pure magic. ✨  

If you’ve ever felt resentment, overwhelm, or crushing mom guilt, this episode is your reminder that freedom is possible. And if you want to go deeper in uncaging yourself from guilt, people-pleasing, and perfectionism, come join us inside Free the Moms. We’re meeting daily (yes, live or on demand!) to ground, reset, and actually practice putting ourselves first. Because your peace is priceless—and your kids deserve a mom with a full cup.

I’m joined by three incredible clients—Tory, Blair, and Kelly—who are sharing their real-life experiences with the Morning Magic ritual inside the Freedom Moms Membership.

You’ll hear how these women went from feeling overwhelmed, perfectionistic, and constantly “on the waves” of life to feeling grounded, intentional, and focused. They share how just a few minutes of journaling, breathwork, and setting intentions each morning has transformed not only their own lives but also their relationships, their families, and even their work.

Listen in to learn:

• How to create mornings that actually fuel your day (even with a busy job or little ones at home!)
• Why letting go of perfectionism creates MORE peace, energy, and freedom
• The surprising wins these moms experienced—from launching businesses to enjoying dinner out with their husbands again
• Why you really do have the answers within you (and how to access them daily)
• The exact prompts that helped them shift from frantic to focused, spiraling to present, and outward to inward

God has a plan—and in this wild, soul-stirring convo, Nicole and I are breaking it down with our signature ADHD energy, humor, and heart. From $60k IRS bills that turned into unexpected blessings, to realizing that rejection is just redirection, this episode is a reminder that we don’t have to carry it all or control it all.

If you’ve ever obsessed over the “how,” felt like life was spinning out of control, or wondered if you’re just a little “delusional” for choosing to see the good—this one’s for you. Together, we unpack why it’s powerful to believe that God (or the universe, Spirit, Source—whatever resonates) is in every single detail. Because when we let go of control, we find freedom.

Tune in to hear:

• Why saying “this is for me” can change how we handle life’s curveballs
• Nicole’s perspective on atheism, dating, and finding Spirit everywhere
• My real-life $60,000 IRS scare and what it taught me about trust
• The cage of control and what freedom really looks like
• Why letting go of the “how” is the ultimate spiritual practice

Hey mama—this one is powerful. Meet Jennifer, one of my incredible clients who went from feeling completely depleted to living a life that feels free, vibrant, and so full of joy. She’s lost 65 pounds (yes, 65!)—but more importantly, she’s found true happiness and energy she didn’t even know was possible.

And the best part? It started with a tiny daily practice she didn’t even want to do at first: journaling.

If you’ve ever thought “ugh, journaling is not for me,” this episode might just change your mind. Jennifer takes us inside her journey—how she resisted at first, how she built a colorful stack of journals anyway, and how those few intentional minutes each morning rewired her thoughts, shifted her energy, and completely transformed her life.

You’ll hear about:

• The journaling hack that made it simple and fun (no long, dramatic diary entries required!)
• Why writing just a few words a day can reprogram your brain toward success
• How Jennifer went from sad, tired, and depleted to energized, confident, and free
• Why choosing your future self—over and over—is the secret to real transformation
• The unexpected byproducts of her weight loss (hint: it’s about way more than the scale)

If you’re ready to stop feeling depleted and start feeling free, this conversation will light you up.
