    Re-Entry / Father's Day

    Hola strangos. This week we're talking "re-entry" into the dating world after serious time away. Healing brings new perspectives, but also makes us really weird out in the world, like dating flagellum. Laura also reflects on celibacy and sovereignty in dating and boundaries, as well as the "father wound," and how father longing can play into how we conduct ourselves and who we choose to date.

    Creative Hero

    What's the difference between manifestation, delusion, fantasy and disassociation? Who knows! These are very thin lines, folks.  This week we’re talking about creativity, or disassociation, depending how you look at it. And how it might just be the last thing that saves us from the nightmarish daily news cycle we're currently living in. Laura takes us on a journey through the past, how she resorted to fantasy to escape and uproot to London with a TV show, and how using creativity as a means of disassociation to escape a traumatic upbringing isn't always the best advice. We explore the value of our attention, and what we give it to. As well as tried and tested methods of harnessing our everyday creativity into something that brings us into greater commune with the divine. Got a W.I.P. question?

    W.I.P. "Highly Critical Parents"

    Highly critical parents are dream killers and soul crushers. How do we clean out the old septic tank of a subconscious, and finally take action on our aspirations and dreams after years of emotional pummeling?  This week Laura answers another WIP question, on how to find the motivation to take action on our goals, after an upbringing of heavy criticism. Laura explains her theory of “the gap of defeat,” and the methods she’s employed in order to do life and take action on our goals.  Got a question for Laura?

    Losing My Ambition

    Lost the energy to perform in the world? It's one thing to cut ties from a former career. It's another to have no remaining shreds of "ambiguous ambition" left. This episode dives into the early days of trying to "make it" in lunatic Hollywood, and the painful unraveling that occurs when we've been performing as the "false self."
