My guest today is Amy Burford, sales executive turned business and life coach. Amy has pivoted several times during her career, often to the amazement of the people in her life. Listen as she describes how she faces the fear and takes the leap anyway.

Today’s guest is Laura Merlo, owner of Reach Yoga onChicago’s North Shore. But long before she was leading a thriving wellness community, Laura’s path was anything but linear.

From creative writer, stylist, bartender, and boutiqueowner… to yoga teacher, entrepreneur, and community builder — Laura’s story is a masterclass in trusting your instincts, following curiosity, and creating alife rooted in purpose rather than convention.

In this episode, we talk about motherhood, entrepreneurship, reinvention in your late 30s, protecting your energy, and what happens when you finally say yes to the thing that keeps calling you back.

This is Laura’s Wild Card Life.
