Discover in this empowering conversation with host Natalie Benamou and Laurie Wessels, President of the Wessels Group, her inspiring journey of courage and reinvention. Laurie made the bold decision to sell her townhouse, pack up her life, and set out on the open road in a camper. Through her story, we explore the exhilarating choice to break free from societal expectations and redefine life on her own terms.

The process of discovery includes an exercise Laurie uses with her coaching clients, “Love, Like, Capable”. It is  a powerful tool to help women reconnect with their passions, skills, and untapped potential. The conversation explores the importance of embracing change, overcoming fears, and recognizing our intrinsic value—factors that are vital not only to personal growth but to sustaining a sense of community and purpose.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Rediscover What Matters: Take a moment and use the “Love, Like, Capable” exercise and discover what brings you joy, passion, and a sense of purpose, shifting the focus from financial success to intrinsic value.
2. Empowerment Through Community: Laurie emphasizes the vital role of community and connection in navigating life’s transitions, underscoring the value of the NEXT mastermind program. Women supporting women is at the heart of this program designed for women after corporate careers.
3. Overcome Fear to Embrace What’s Next: This episode encourages women to move beyond fears that often hold them back, inspiring them to shine their light brightly and embrace the full potential of what lies ahead.
