Week 10 arrives with Laura's body enforcing a pause she didn't know she needed. After speaking illness into existence with uncanny precision, she embraces the spiritual truth about purging old identities. Meanwhile, Instagram throws her in jail for creating actual value vs rewarding noise, the November reels challenge brings massive reach but questionable alignment, and unexpected breathing room reveals what's been missing from the relentless pace of building.
What You'll Learn:
The Pattern Shift: From: "I need to maintain momentum at all costs to prove I'm serious" To: "Space isn't empty - it's where everything gestates"

Month two is complete and Laura's discovering the numbers tell a radically different story than her brain's daily broadcast. While daily Instagram views looked pathetic, monthly stats reveal something unexpected. Revenue jumps 15x through one simple shift. The Bet maintains its steady six downloads per episode. And as she flips from screenshots to reels after training the algorithm for two months, the universe demonstrates its sense of humor through perfectly-timed technical glitches that become her best-performing content.
What You'll Learn:
The Pattern Shift: From: "Daily metrics determine whether I'm succeeding or failing" To: "The real story lives in the patterns only monthly data can reveal"

Laura continues The Bet - her year-long experiment in building a business on pure energy instead of strategy. No scripts, no second takes, just the raw documentation of what happens when you trust that you literally cannot say the wrong thing to the right people.
Listen to discover why the universe might be sending you messages through the exact channels you're already tuned to receive.
When Everything You've Been Resisting Converges at Once
Seven weeks of teaching to blank faces suddenly yields undeniable evidence that working with energy 'works'. A conversation about legitimacy turns into permission to be exactly who and what you are. And when three different identities collide in one week, the only way forward is to embrace your inner quack.
What You'll Learn:
The Pattern Shift:
From: "I need to fit into respected containers to be legitimate"
To: "Legitimacy comes from being exactly what you are - even if that's a quack"

When Three People Tell You the Same Thing, Listen
Three different people deliver the same message in one week: slow down and receive. Laura unplugs for 24 hours and discovers an uncomfortable truth - she doesn't know how to relax. When she finally creates space to just be, something unexpected shows up. The universe has its own algorithm, and it responds to energy, not effort. Plus, a breakfast conversation with Mike cracks open MEMO's identity crisis, revealing why confusion creates stagnation and what happens when you finally make the damn decision.
What You'll Learn:
The Pattern Shift: From: "My worth is tied to constant productivity and visible output" To: "Creating space to receive is as valuable as the work itself"

When the Curveball Hits
Wednesday morning brought the kind of news that rocks your entire world. The test that arrives right after you think you've mastered abundance. This is real-time documentation of what happens when fear shows up - and how an unexpected tool helped shift everything.

Month one is complete and Laura's pulling back the curtain on what's actually happening. Through tracking metrics across multiple platforms, wrestling with MEMO's unclear identity, catching the Mini Memo safety blanket pattern, and noticing Instagram drift back into overthinking - one truth emerges: confused energy creates stagnation. Plus, a surprising shift at the university signals something bigger wanting to emerge, and the real cost of measuring worth by who stays instead of who transforms becomes impossible to ignore.
What You'll Learn:
The Pattern Shift: From: "I need to prove I'm legitimate through volume and expertise" To: "Legitimacy is embodied through aligned choices, not manufactured content"

This is the last mini memo drop.
After catching myself using Friday episodes as an insurance policy against Tuesday's messiness, I'm choosing the experiment over the performance. The mini memos were never about you - they were my safety blanket, my way of proving I'm legitimate while supposedly trusting energy over strategy.
In this episode:
The Bet continues Tuesday. Just Tuesday. Because building by subtracting beats performing by adding every single time.
Week four brings a breakthrough about success metrics: Laura discovers she's been measuring worth by who stays instead of who transforms. Through patterns caught in MEMO cancellations, Mini Memo questioning, and Instagram overthinking, she uncovers a childhood wound about feeling unwanted that's been driving her to prove value instead of simply being valuable. The revelation? Being a step on someone's journey - not their destination - is the actual win.
What You'll Learn:
The Pattern Shift: From: "People staying means I'm valuable" To: "People leaving means I succeeded"
Key Questions Laura's Asking:

The Hidden Energy Drain Killing Your Momentum
Laura reveals the invisible energy leak that's exhausting you: maintenance energy. Every incomplete commitment - from unused gym memberships to half-started projects to friendships you've outgrown - runs a background process in your brain, draining power all day long. Like having 30 apps running on your phone, these energetic parasites feed on your attention whether you're conscious of them or not.
What You'll Learn:
The Pattern Shift: From: "I'm being strategic by keeping multiple options open" To: "Every incomplete thing is a no to something else"
Connect with The Bet:
What's your heaviest energy parasite? The one thing that would feel amazing to finally release? Drop me a message and tell me what you're letting go of today.
When Your Own Medicine Is the Cure
Week three hits Laura with a cascade of technical disasters, a MEMO cancellation that triggers old patterns, and the busiest week of her life. Deep in "the goo" of transformation (that disorienting state where your brain can't predict what's coming next), she makes a pivotal decision: use her own product. The revelation? The medicine she needed was already in her cabinet.
What You'll Learn:
The Pattern Shift: From: "If it's not working perfectly, I must be on the wrong path" To: "Every grain of sand counts, even when I can't see the scale tipping"

Found The Bet? I'm three weeks in and still don't know if anyone's listening. If you're out there, let me know how you found this experiment. Drop me a DM, send an email, leave a review - any signal that you exist would make my day. Because right now I'm just talking into the void and trusting someone needs to hear this.
That thing you can't make yourself do? Your brain did the math and said absolutely not.
You're not lazy. You're not lacking discipline. Your brain is running a calculation that's coming up with the wrong answer.
In this Mini Memo Drop, discover the formula that's secretly controlling every action you take (or don't take) and why willpower is a losing game against biology.
The download: E+S+P = A. Energy plus Safety plus Pleasure equals Action. Your brain runs this equation on everything. If one variable is off, you're not moving.
Why it matters: You've been trying to override your operating system instead of working with it. Once you know the math, you can hack the variables. Stop buying productivity apps. You need better math.
Let me know you found my experiment!
When Giving More Gets You Less
Laura uncovers the pattern that's been bleeding her business dry: drastically undercharging while over-delivering, thinking the universe will somehow balance it out. Through a powerful concept called Ayni (sacred reciprocity from Andean philosophy), she realizes that blocking fair exchange actually creates energetic debt for everyone involved. Watch as she catches herself trying to prove her worth by giving it away.

Ready to examine your own energy leaks? Let's connect:
Tell me: Where are YOU over-delivering and under-receiving?
You've already survived the unsurvivable. Your brain just forgot to add it to your resume.
That thing that destroyed you? The divorce, diagnosis, betrayal, or loss that split your life into before and after? You survived it. You're here.
In this Mini Memo Drop, discover why your brain is treating everyday challenges like death threats when you've already got a PhD in survival.
The download: Your brain misfiled your survival story. Instead of filing it under "Proof of What I Can Handle," it filed it under "Never Risk Anything Again." Wrong folder. Wrong lesson. Wrong conclusion.
Why it matters: Your nervous system can't tell the difference between "this might be awkward" and "this might kill me." But you've already handled the unhandleable. Everything else is just paperwork.
The worst already happened. You're still here. Time to update your security clearance.
Already updating your resume? The algorithm is recognizing you as titanium. Send proof of life:
Tell me what you survived that your brain "forgot" to count - I'm collecting evidence that we're all walking around with outdated threat assessments.
When Perfectionism Becomes Self-Sabotage
What starts as a spiral of self-doubt becomes a powerful lesson about the difference between building a business and performing success. Watch cognitive engineering happen in real-time as Laura debugs her perfectionist programming.

Drop me a DM about what patterns YOU'RE catching this week.
The voice that's killing your dreams isn't the mean one. It's the reasonable one.
Your biggest dreams don't die in months of deliberation. They die in three seconds flat – murdered by the "smart" voice that sounds exactly like wisdom.
In this first Mini Memo Drop, discover why your survival brain is running on code written by your seven-year-old self, and why the most intelligent thing you can do is move before you think.
The download: A simple software update that breaks the pattern keeping you stuck. When inspiration hits, you have exactly three seconds to move. Not to complete. Not to perfect. Just to move.
Why it matters: That reasonable voice telling you to "think it through" isn't wisdom – it's obsolete programming designed to keep you exactly where you are.
Movement is the antidote. Any movement. Even typing one word.
Your next download is coming. This time, you'll be ready.

The Secret Experiment Starts Now
After months of building in secret, Laura finally reveals what she's been creating: a year-long experiment betting her entire business on pure energetic alignment instead of traditional marketing. No promotion, no Instagram strategy, no email campaigns - just raw, authentic creation and the belief that the right people will find it.
Topics Include:
The Bottom Line: What if the universe has a bigger algorithm than Instagram?
