But after decades in HR and a joyful detour into statement jewelry, a layoff and a global pandemic nudged her to explore a long-held curiosity: coaching.

Laura Belgray didn’t build her business with a vision board and a five-year plan. Instead, she followed what felt good, said yes to the next right thing, and turned random career breadcrumbs into a wildly successful brand. In this episode, Laura shares how a last-minute talk at Marie Forleo’s first live event changed everything and how it eventually led to The Copy Cure, her book deal, and the beloved emails she now sends to thousands.

We talk about her earliest “get paid to be you” fantasies, starting a blog with no opt-in, how she finds the point in everyday stories (and uses her own AI tool to help), and why she refused to write a book about copywriting even when publishers asked. If you’ve ever been told to niche down, pick a lane, or “elevate your message,” Laura’s take might be exactly what you need to hear.

About Laura Belgray:

Laura Belgray is the founder of Talking Shrimp, co-creator of The Copy Cure, and author of the best-selling memoir Tough Titties. She helps entrepreneurs and creatives get paid to be themselves through better writing, sharper storytelling, and unapologetic self-expression.
