Nice To Meet You, I’m Laura
Life has taken me on a journey I could never have scripted, filled with unexpected twists, countless lessons, and incredible blessings along the way. I grew up in Australia, surrounded by a culture that celebrated community, connection, and simple joys. My upbringing shaped my belief in the power of relationships and taught me the importance of creating spaces—both physical and emotional—that allow people to feel safe, seen, and loved.
It was in Australia that I met Carl, the man who would become my husband and my greatest teammate. From the moment we met, we were drawn together by a shared sense of purpose and adventure. We quickly became partners in every sense, and together, we’ve built a life that’s been nothing short of extraordinary.
The highlight of that life, without question, has been becoming a mom. Our three kids—Ava, Charlie, and Roman—are the heartbeat of everything I do. Being their mom is my favorite thing in the world. They make me laugh, challenge me to grow, and remind me daily what unconditional love looks like. Raising them has been the most rewarding (and often humbling) adventure of my life, and they continue to teach me lessons about grace, patience, and the importance of showing up as your true self.
“But life hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Like everyone, I’ve experienced seasons of loss, heartbreak, and unexpected challenges.”
Those moments have stretched me, shaped me, and, ultimately, strengthened me. I’ve learned that some of life’s most meaningful growth happens in the messiest and hardest moments. And I’ve come to believe that sharing those moments—the real, unfiltered parts of life—is what allows us to connect, heal, and move forward.
That’s why Carl and I created our podcast, Lights On. Together, we explore the raw, unpolished sides of life—faith, relationships, parenting, and everything in between. It’s a space where we can be vulnerable, laugh at ourselves, and shine a light on the lessons we’re learning in real-time. We hope it’s a place where listeners feel encouraged and reminded that they’re not alone in their struggles or triumphs.
“Creating meaningful impact through speaking and design”
Alongside the podcast, one of my greatest joys is speaking and connecting with people face-to-face. I love stepping onto a stage and sharing my heart, whether it’s about overcoming challenges, finding your purpose, or leaning into faith. Watching people light up with inspiration or discover a spark of hope is something I’ll never take for granted. It’s a privilege I hold close to my heart.
Beyond speaking and podcasting, I also find joy in helping others design lives that reflect who they truly are. Whether I’m creating an intentional space through interior design or guiding someone through building a brand that tells their unique story, my mission is always the same: to empower people to live authentically and to create environments—both physical and emotional—that reflect their values and dreams.
At the core of it all, I believe in the power of connection, in the beauty of resilience, and in the importance of living a life that feels true to who you are. Whether I’m raising my kids, speaking to an audience, or working on a design project, my goal is always to inspire and uplift the people around me. Life has taken me on an incredible journey, and I’m so grateful to share a part of it with you.
