What if a life lesson was hiding in your fridge?

In this episode of Life Lessons with Laura, I share a real life thriller that unexpectedly turned into bonding time with my dad; and a reminder that even infiltrating and disgusting situations can hold something positive if you choose to see it.

Sometimes the biggest lessons don’t come from huge life events.

Sometimes… they’re hiding in the fridge.

This episode marks 10 years of being vegan, and I’m finally talking about it openly.

I walk through how it started, what I learned from years of research and lived experience, and how my perspective on food, health, animals, and everyday choices gradually changed.

We unpack what veganism actually means in real life (beyond stereotypes), the social challenges no one talks about, and the misconceptions people still carry.

You’ll also hear from others living this lifestyle; their reasons, struggles, and what they wish people understood.

No preaching. No pressure. Just an honest conversation and an open invitation to think a little deeper.

In this episode, I start with piping hot TEA on what happened after the Narcissistic Abuse & Recovery episode dropped.

We dive into the realities of dating in 2025: the apps, social media noise, mixed signals, and emotional fatigue — and how to hold onto the good experiences without letting the hard ones close your heart.

I talk openly about the side of singlehood no one glamorizes — the quiet nights, the unanswered messages, and the moments of growth that still feel lonely — sharing personal stories and grounded ways to move through it with compassion.

I close with a special pre-release invitation, available first to listeners before it’s released publicly.

🎧 If modern dating has left you tired but still slightly hopeful, this episode is for you.

It’s cozy, honest, and your reminder that peace is productive.

What if your cycle wasn’t something to “deal with” — but a powerful blueprint for living, working, and thriving?

In this episode, I guide you through how to sync your life with your menstrual cycle, phase by phase — from the rest and reflection of menstruation to the magnetic energy of ovulation. You’ll learn how to support yourself with food, movement, mindset, and self-awareness in each stage of your cycle.

We explore:

•How to gently start tracking your symptoms using the Natural Cycles app
