Do you need help with quitting your draining day job and working out how to make money doing something you love?

HELLO LOVELY!

Hi, I’m Laura, and I help women who feel trapped in a soul-sucking day job to reconnect with their magic and their passions, so that they can find career happiness and make money doing something they love. 


Back in 2017 I was trapped in a job I hated. I was feeling really low, I was completely drained everyday and I noticed I had started to experience anxiety. I knew I needed to change my situation and find a way to make money that didn’t make me miserable.

So I started to read personal development books, I started to open my mind to the possibilities that were out there for me, I started to question everything I was doing and asking myself how could this work better for me? Fast-forward a little bit and I’m now in a job I LOVE (for the first time in my life) and I also have a business that I am super passionate about and that brings me joy everyday. I’m making money doing things that I love and I know I now have the ability to keep going and create the freedom I want in my life.

I wanted to help other women to do the same, so I did some coaching training through work, set up my own business and started to help other women to create a career path they were excited about. All of my initial clients booked to work with me for longer which was amazing, and the more women I worked with the more I realised that my superpower is to spot the magic inside of you, and help you realise how you can use this to make money doing something you love, so that you can create more freedom in your life too!

What I bring to the party…

*12 years of experience running my own businesses. I started my first business (Adore Button Bouquets) in 2012 where I made wedding bouquets from buttons and brooches. I even made my own wedding bouquet! I then pivoted to this business in 2017.

*In depth coaching training through work and lots of happy coaching clients in my own business who have discovered their magic and learned how to make money doing something they love.

*3 years of experience in coaching people through difficult situations at work from bullying, to dealing with a toxic manager, to getting the right support in place for their mental health.

*A BA in Sociology and Social Policy - the way we function and the way society functions has always been fascinating to me! Maybe that’s why I am always looking for ways to challenge the status quo with how I live my life.

Things that matter

*Freedom - during work with my own coach I realised that freedom is my number one value in life. However to me this doesn’t mean never being tied down to anything and living a nomad lifestyle. It's having the freedom to choose that's important. I believe that more money = more choices, and more choices = freedom. If you can also make this money doing something you love then you are winning at life! 

*Thinking outside the box. This means setting up my life in a way that works for me. I started to ask myself the question: does it have to be done this way just because it always has, and how would this work better for me? I then started to apply this to my own life - choosing to compress my day job hours into 4 days per week and working from home 80% of the time so I can do a workout on my lunch break. I also created my ‘future me’ Monday’s (where I’m not in my day job), and every single Monday I do things that will benefit my future - for example seeing my personal trainer and working on my business.

*Honesty, transparency, keeping it real! I show up as me. I don’t wear make-up, I don’t wear smart clothes, I’m not business like at all. I am me. I’m friendly, empathetic, open and honest. I’m a deep thinker and a deep feeler, so I will think deeply about your problems and what we can do to help you achieve your dreams, and I truly care about what I do and about helping you.

Things to know before working with me:

*I have a relaxed approach to what I do. Our conversations will be like chatting with a friend, but don’t worry - I take what I do seriously and I will work hard to help you achieve your goals.

*I am managing my own anxiety, so I know how it feels. Despite this, I’m always pushing myself out of my comfort zone to achieve new things and to grow.

*I love hedgehogs and I feed my cute little band of wild hedgehogs every night. I have also rescued some hedgehogs in the past that have been either out in the daytime, or have been a bit too soggy because of all the Cumbrian rain! I am a huge animal lover and want all the animals in the world to be loved and cared for and safe.

If we met in a coffee shop I might ask you what your favourite friends episode is (mine is the one with Phoebe’s wedding, I ended up getting married in a small wedding in NYC too!), or if you like musicals (my current favourite is Merrily We Roll Along - google Daniel Radcliffe’s performance of Frankiln Shepherd inc. it will blow your mind!), or where is on your bucket-list to travel to (mine is currently a safari in Tanzania a city break in Lisbon and a trip back to Disneyworld).
