Episode 364: From Depressed to Intuitively Driven After Learning and Applying a New Mindset, with Laura Strachan

Today’s guest, Laura Strachan, is someone I met 3 years ago when she joined a free training I did on Facebook, because she was so depressed she couldn’t get out of bed. Fortunately she took action that day and signed up for my training which changed her life.

I asked Laura to join me on my podcast today because we recently met in-person at my retreat and I was reminded of how she not only learned new mindset habits that gave her guidance and direction of purpose but how she continues to grow and explore new opportunities that unfold and challenge her. She is a master at continually to expand outside of her comfort zone.

I asked Laura to share her most recent breakthroughs, new lessons learned from the retreat experience and her tips on how she continues to shine her positive light on the world and gets divine guidance on the purpose-driven second half she’s created.

We dive into the importance of embracing change and not settling for complacency in life. Laura also recounts her own life-changing journey, emphasizing the significance of small actions and being open to unexpected opportunities, ultimately showcasing the incredible impact of micro-changes and being of service to others.

In this episode, Laura shares:

• How she opens herself up to opportunities by following and listening to her intuition
• Why the retreat environment was key to her receiving the guidance she needed and how to create that environment in the busy world we live in
• The one tool she uses that helps her shift her negative and fear-based thinking into more helpful thoughts
• The importance of finding mentors and cultivating relationships with like-minded people who are on similar journeys

Laura shares her transformative journey of the past 3 years and her latest exciting news about what she’s doing as well as a big trip she and I have planned to go on next year. Today she is a completely different person than the one I met. Her story is a testament that you can change your life in a moment by one small action. 

Listen in and be inspired by Laura to take action on making your second half one of positivity, connection, and trust in the divine guidance that is there just waiting for you to get quiet, tune in, and hear it.
