What happens when you give your best to a company, quadruple the business, and still get fired by text? For Laura Campbell, that painful moment became a turning point. In this episode of The Catch her Spark Podcast with Jen Maldonado, Laura shares how getting fired pushed her to stop depending on someone else to recognize her value and start building something of her own. Laura has spent more than 26 years working in animal health and nutrition. She has built trusted relationships with farmers, producers, feed mills, and nutritionists, and she is a professional animal auditor helping ensure animals are treated with care and respect. But Laura's story goes far beyond her career. She opens up about becoming a single mother at just 24 years old, rebuilding her life, navigating career setbacks, starting her own business, and learning to trust the intuition that told her when something wasn't right. Laura and Jen also explore what it means for women to take up space instead of constantly trying to earn it. One idea runs through Laura's entire story: excellence is her brand. Whether she is auditing a facility, working with a customer, raising her daughters, or rebuilding after a setback, Laura believes in showing up with integrity, doing what she says she will do, and helping people become better. You'll hear how Laura turned auditing from a process of finding what's wrong into an opportunity for continuous improvement. She shares why she wants the people she audits to see her as a partner—and why one client telling her, "You're tough, but you make us better," meant so much to her. You'll also discover the invisible world behind the food on your table and why Laura wants consumers to better understand the farmers, producers, nutritionists, and auditors working every day to keep animals healthy and America's food supply resilient. This conversation is about resilience, intuition, integrity, financial independence, and what can happen when a woman decides to build a life on her own terms.
