What if we stopped trying to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s solutions? What if we focused forward, on a “great big beautiful tomorrow” and started creating the future we want for ourselves, our planet and our children?

Join Laura Westman and Bay LeBlanc Quiney, two professionally certified coaches who deeply believe in the power of creativity, magic and imagination to transform leadership, and change our world for the better. Bay and Laura both love Disney everything and believe that the stories we love hold powerful messages and answers to some of today’s toughest questions. In each episode, we’ll be diving into conversations about things that matter, but don’t always make it to the table, and we’ll be bringing a lot of fun and laughter, along with faith, trust and pixie dust.

    Debriefing Dreams Training

    Debriefing Dreams Training

    Gather 'round, children, and hear the tale! What's the difference between a crummy downstairs bar and the place where Bay is recording today? How many different mustard yellow Mickey Mouse sweatshirts can one person find? Most importantly, Bay and Laura debrief the West of Wonderland Academy for Magical Coaching *Dreams* training that they hosted last week. It was magical, intimate and completely perfect. You can catch the recording and sign up for the next session at www.laurawestman.com/wow-academy 🪄 PS. This isn't in the episode, but Laura is having a crazy cool masterclass about the comfort zone with hypnotherapist Vickie Poole on 5/31/24! You should come! https://form.jotform.com/241455509654057

    Tiana, Taylor, Grief and Feeling Everything

    Tiana, Taylor, Grief and Feeling Everything

    You’re hot and you’re cold, you're yes and you’re no!!!! No, it’s not a conversation about Katy Perry, fooled ya, it’s about Taylor Swift! But it’s also about being a fan, a global citizen, and all other kinds of things. Let's be honest though, Bay and Laura love being a fan — and so do you. Ps. What's true about stuff, and how true is it? When is Tiana's Bayou Adventure opening and how much fun are you gonna have riding it? Do Bay and Laura have any fans other than each other?

    Next to Never(never)land

    Take me to Tomorrowland! Are you a donkey-headed astronaut diver or do you have limits on your possibility? Laura and Bay catch up about some fun little giggle-worthy things, a new friend of the podcast and then, of course, a deluge into DREAMS. In this accidentally vulnerable episode (when are they not), Bay and Laura open up the terrain they'll be crossing with trainees on May 23 in DREAMS training. Where do your dreams exist? Where do you feel like you can/can't let a dream come true? What do you think is/isn't possible for you, and why are dreams important? Space available in DREAMS training on May 23, 2024: https://www.laurawestman.com/wow-academy Uncover Your Creative Magic is here: https://bit.ly/3xDY0a2
