About this listen

This week, Laura shares what to do when you're having one of those days—the kind where nothing feels right, and even getting out of bed feels like a win.
She opens up about her own go-to comfort routine (think cozy sweatpants, takeout, and favorite rewatch shows) and invites listeners to rethink what it means to care for themselves during low moments. Instead of pushing through or pretending to be fine, Laura explores the power of softening into those days—with compassion, nervous system regulation, and tiny rituals that ground us.

She also offers practical tools for building your own self-care toolkit, leaning on your support system, and finding meaning in hard moments through reflection and connection. This episode is both gentle and empowering—a reminder that rest is productive, and low days don’t mean you're failing.
