“Beauty is in the eye of anyone who sees what’s missing but can’t stop pointing to what’s still there. If there’s no definition for love yet – I think that’s a good one.”

-Andrea Gibson

About me…

Hey, I’m Laura

I grew up in a religious community and an academic school. So church trained me to hide my sexuality. And school trained me to hide my dyslexia. I coped. I looked like I was on top of it. But I couldn’t understand why I never felt myself, outside of a few close relationships. Why I seemed to lose my confidence so easily. Why my critical voice was so loud. Why I quietly struggled with anxiety and depression.

So I set out on a journey to unpack why I so often felt like a misfit and it’s led me to a place where I can (most of the time) embrace the parts of me I thought I had to hide.

It’s been a journey to love and accept my differences but one that builds wholeness, lets you walk taller, quietens the inner critic, and eases anxiety and depression.

If you’ve spent your life feeling like a misfit too, I’d love to walk with you on this journey. To understand that you’re not wrong but the environment around you is. To heal and recover from the damage this has done to you. To help you figure out what you need and learn to set boundaries that serve you. To make friends with your uniqueness and celebrate all of you, not just the parts that look ok.
