6 min - 235: Staying Whole Through the Heavy Work with Laura Parker
What would you say yes to if you could only see as far as the next bend?
Fifteen years ago, Laura Parker and her husband said yes to an opportunity to help combat human trafficking in Thailand. They didn’t know that first yes would lead to starting The Exodus Road, a global organization with more than 100 team members, working across multiple countries to combat human trafficking and empower survivors.
Laura is honest about how if she had understood the full cost to her family, marriage, and personal life, she might not have had the courage to say yes at the beginning. Both truths can exist together: meaningful work can matter deeply, and it can still ask more than we expected.
When Laura became CEO, she used the idea of a leadership lab to understand her own growth. She draws on the “above the line” framework from 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, which describes a grounded leader as open, curious, and committed to learning. That phrase became a personal practice as she moved away from trying to have every answer. It’s also helped her listen more closely, admit where she is falling short, and build confidence in making difficult decisions.
Laura speaks openly about the challenge of leading a growing organization while raising children. Her children gained a love of travel, adventure, and service, but they also experienced the cost of this heavy work. She recognizes that there are things she would handle differently with the knowledge she has today.
That reflection leads to one of the most generous ideas in the episode: the person we were years ago did not have the insight we have now. Laura describes this as moving from one version of yourself to another, with greater maturity and understanding. Leaders can learn from the past without punishing themselves for what they did not yet know
