In this solo update, Laura shares vulnerably about navigating burnout, saying no to a return to Ireland, and finding her family’s rhythm again in Thailand.

She opens up about the loneliness of mothering without a village, the tension between homeschooling and international schooling, and the ongoing dance between her own needs and her child’s.

This season has also been deeply shaped by David Ghiyam’s 30-day container, where daily journaling, clearing limiting beliefs, and practicing the power of pause became anchors.

✨ You can check out David’s work here and explore his upcoming container “22 Days to Create Miracles.”

Laura reflects on how this devotional practice helped her release old narratives, soften into trust, and call in unexpected support—including aligned work that arrived in a surprising way.

Topics in this episode include:

• Burnout, recovery, and rebuilding support systems as a mother

• Living in rhythm with the menstrual cycle when making big life choices

• The yearning for village and the reality of modern motherhood’s isolation

• Homeschooling vs. schooling — balancing autonomy, structure, and support

• Journaling as free therapy and medicine for the nervous system

• The power of pause as a practice of presence and surrender

• Miracles, manifestation, and what happens when aligned action meets release
