This week on Safe Space, Laura shares the story of one of the biggest changes in her adult life: moving to Denver. From boarding the flight out of New York City to the moment she stepped into her new apartment, she reflects on the grief, excitement, clarity, and deep nervous system regulation that came with letting go of the life she had to build the one she truly wants.
This deeply personal episode explores the chaos and magic of major life transitions. Laura opens up about what it’s felt like to slow down, feel at peace, and start over after burnout. She talks about finding community, leaning into connection, and what happens when you finally give yourself permission to choose joy—even if it means leaving everything familiar behind.
Whether you’re navigating a big life change or just fantasizing about a fresh start, this episode is an emotional roadmap for what it means to trust yourself and take the leap.
