Laura speaks with author, Anaregina Frias who read Laura's first book Spiritual Nomad: A Journey Within and Abroad. Anaregina really resonated with Laura's story, specifically going through a similar traumatic event and how she navigated through those emotions and faced her fears. Laura speaks of she used her anxiety as motivation on her first backpacking trip through Europe at 18 years old and how it took her on adventures she would never imagine or dream of. Staying at the Funny Farm in Switzerland is what eventually would lead her to write this book 13 years later. She travel taught her that you just have to throw your hands up and let things happen, and maybe you'll meet a cool person along the way and it'll be a good story to tell one day. Enjoy!

I had the chance to speak with Gary Vee today last year. I've been a writer for the last 12+ years and have now published my second book, Penny Panic which I talk about with him. I had questions to ask about my writing and why it's not taking off even though people love what I write and give me great feedback. Gary Vee gives me the Jersey kick in the ass and calls me the fuck out. Listen to what he has to say and the breakthrough I had.  I'm grateful I had this moment and now a year later today, I'm starting my podcast with one of my favorite moments of a crazy 2020. I'm excited for this new venture and I appreciate you all who are here listening. Stay tuned for more episodes to come from the wild journey I've been on since last year!
