In this episode I chat with Michelle Scott—licensed psychotherapist, Reiki master teacher, “the weird therapist” and my friend—to explore the surprising link between stuck emotions, chronic pain, and speaking your truth.

Michelle shares her own journey through fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and years of silence that left her literally without a voice. Together, she and Laura unpack how emotional energy becomes physical pain, why humor is an underrated healing tool, and how reclaiming your voice can unlock both health and business alignment.

You’ll hear:

How suppressed emotions create chronic tension and illness

Why reclaiming your voice is essential for healing—and for your brand

What alignment really means (and why it might look like a woman in a lavender power suit with a dinosaur head)

How Michelle’s using the Fab Over 40 competition to model visibility as healing
