Description
“You’re not going to believe what happened,” Laurie would say about the experiences she had with the caregivers at work, and these experiences ultimately motivated her to begin writing. In her book, Sandwiched, she writes about challenging times, but also the different ways in which she grew. She learned to give herself time to grieve, to follow the love, and to be honest and true to herself about what she wants. Tune in to this twenty minute episode for some insight into lessons that can take a lifetime to learn.About Laurie:Laurie James is mother, caregiver, divorcée, turned author and transformative coach. She has successfully launched her four daughters into adulthood and has been the primary caretaker for her elderly parents. Laurie has learned through therapy and other healing programs that she has everything she needs within her to create the life she desires, and she wants to bring that knowledge to other women. She is training to become a Martha Beck certified coach and expects to receive her ICF (International Coach Federation) credential in July 2021. Laurie enjoys coaching women who are searching for happiness and helps them discover what that means to them. An active community volunteer, she co-chairs a youth program for high school students, exposing them to a variety of career paths before they apply to college. She’s also an active member of a collaborative giving circle that pools donation dollars to help Los Angeles-based nonprofits.Laurie graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a BS in business and held a position as a corporate recruiter before she stayed home to raise her children. She lives in Manhattan Beach with her adopted husky, Lu. When she is not walking her dog, volunteering, promoting her book or coaching, she can be found skiing, sailing, hiking, doing yoga, spending time with my girlfriends or planning her next adventure.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/laurie.james.79219754IG: https://www.instagram.com/laurie.james/Website: https://www.laurieejames.com/About me:Karen Laos is a keynote speaker and leadership coach equipping women to stand out with unshakable confidence.
