Laura: On Strength & Tenacity Through Struggles, Part 2

Laura is back for Part 2 today to share the rest of her story.  Where we last left off, Laura had just packed her bags and shipped off to Germany in the wake of her brother’s suicide.  I don’t want to spoil too many details here, but the conclusion of Laura’s story is a true testament to how to the struggles you endure really do shape who you are for the better, and allow to give back a great deal to this world.

Highlights of this episode include:
-The “scripts” that we carry around about ourselves, and how they influence who we are...
-The effect that becoming a college professor had on her, despite never really believing she was smart
-The seemingly small incident that finally helped her feel “at home” in her career…
-How she made the incredible leap from college professor to therapist
-How all the difficult things she went through in her life informed the work she does today
-The best way to explain addiction-related issues to children
-And even a little Springsteen banter!
