I bet you spend more time thinking about those tough, yet necessary, conversations rather than actually having them. I know these conversations are painful, but trust me, the freedom you’ll feel afterward is completely worth it. Today, I encourage you to face these conversations head-on even if you have fears or doubts. I share my advice for approaching them with love and clear intentions so you can unapologetically surround yourself with people and things that align with your dreams.

Laura is about to release her first novel, Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You’re the F-ing Worst, and in our conversation, she empowers you to live life authentically and honor your unique timeline.
