Today, I am joined by the hilarious Laura Belgray, an award-winning copywriting expert and the true queen of being herself. 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.

Laura encourages you to embrace your inner dork, accept imperfections, and resist the urge to compare your worth to others. She stresses the power of standing out, finding peace in being disliked, and how important it is to surround yourself with people who bring out the best in your personality.
