Hello! I'm Laura, a life coach specializing in using neuroplasticity to help clients overcome fear of failure and achieve success, happiness, and fulfillment. By uncovering true identities, identifying limiting beliefs, and rewiring the brain, I've transformed my own life. I moved from the U.S. to Mexico, earned my MBA, became fluent in Spanish, worked as a Chief of Staff at a Mexican impact investing firm, and started my life coaching company to empower women to shed societal expectations and fears, reaching their full potential. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, exploring parks in Mexico City, spending time with friends, my cat, and my plants, and traveling to anywhere with an ocean.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
I've found the most happiness in placing myself in situations outside of my comfort zone - through other cultures, languages, countries, and with people who don't look like me. Learning how others see the world, engaging in conversations on similarities & differences creates a level of empathy, compassion, and curiosity that I find as necessary to my life as food and water.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
I cannot start my day without doing yoga and meditating, which allows me creativity in my body movement and in the visualization of my day, my relationships, and my largest life goals. I find this routine is crucial before starting in on a highly scheduled work day. Outside of this, I play the piano, I love to be in nature, I do a lot of writing, I love blasting music and singing along, and I really enjoy "gardening" - although since I live in an apartment in Mexico City it means tending to my indoor potted plants, of which I have many and am quite obsessed with.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
I am an expert in rewiring your brain, using neuroplasticity in order to achieve the level of success and happiness that you deserve without the fear of failure, judgement, or worthiness. I have used the techniques that I coach on in order to transform my life - from a life with surface level contentment where I was checking the boxes of success that society had dictated to me - to a life that is fully chosen by me, unique, and ever stimulating, in another country, language, and culture than my own. I wake up every day bursting with motivation, fullness, happiness, and pride in myself and I want nothing more than to empower other women to feel the same and finally live their potential. I would love to mentor any young woman who could benefit from someone who has lived this experience.
