Description
Show Notes:
On this episode of How to Human, Sam Lamott speaks with his dear friend Laura Whitfield.
When Laura Whitfield was fourteen, her extraordinary brother, Lawrence, was killed in a mountain climbing accident. That night she had an epiphany: Life is short. Dream big, even if it means taking risks.
After graduating from high school, she set out on her own and moved to North Carolina’s Outer Banks for a magical summer filled with friendships, boys, and beer. One night she met a handsome DJ, who everyone called “Steve the Dream,” and risked her heart. When September came, Steve moved to New York City to become a model, which prompted Laura to start thinking about modeling, too.
After a semester of college, and still seeking to fill the void left by her brother’s death, she dropped out and moved to New York to become a cover girl. But while juggling the demands of life in the big city waiting tables, failed relationships, and the cutthroat world of modeling Laura lost her way.
Untethered is a stirring memoir about a young woman’s quest to find hope and stability after devastating loss. Ultimately, it’s about overcoming shame, embracing faith, and learning that taking risks and failing can lead to a bigger life than one might dare to imagine.
