    Is Social Media Serving You? Boundaries, Energetics, and Stepping Back as a Heart-Led Entrepreneur

    Laura discusses social media’s positive and negative influence and invites listeners to reflect on whether it truly serves them, how it feels energetically in the body, and whether it fuels addiction, comparison, and inauthenticity. She shares her journey from fearing social media pre-2020 to using it through an MLM and entrepreneurship, then noticing anxiety, anger, and “energetic funk” within minutes of logging on, especially as a highly sensitive person. She explains how social media can cloud intention for heart-led entrepreneurs, amplify pressure from influencers and business coaches, and encourage oversharing—particularly involving children—leading her to delete past posts and step back since last August. Since reducing use, she reports improved clarity and substantial business growth via word-of-mouth and email, and encourages boundaries, energy hygiene, and exploring alternative platforms.   Subscribe to stay updated on new episodes, follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and join the like-minded community seeking deeper spiritual understanding and growth.   Enjoying this podcast?!

    Season 3 Return: Winter Hibernation, Healing Isn’t a Phase, and Birthing New Beginnings

    Laura returns to the Higher Paradigm channel for season three after an intense winter in Western New York, using the season as a metaphor for her own internal hibernation and deep healing work. She challenges “healers” and spiritual communities she’s seen on social media for spiritually bypassing and claiming they’re done healing, arguing that true healing and spiritual growth are lifelong, require facing pain (including ancestral wounding), and involve co-creating with God rather than avoiding responsibility. Laura shares how stepping away from social media since last August has been freeing and helped her release the need for validation. She reflects on winter healing practices, witnessing her sister’s calm, sacred natural birth at a birthing center, and launching a new postpartum business with her sister, Happy Harvest Kitchen, with plans to launch by summer.   Subscribe to stay updated on new episodes, follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and join the like-minded community seeking deeper spiritual understanding and growth.   Enjoying this podcast?!
