003. Connecting to Your Calling with Laura Lee
Listen to the podcast:
As entrepreneurs, you and I understand the rollercoaster that is business ownership. If you're like me, you know it's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and lose yourself (and your sanity) in the process. And for some of us, the struggle is finding the courage to hustle at all!
So how do we know we're operating within our true calling and where do we find the courage to step into that calling? How do we rediscover the WHY behind our purpose? And what do we do to make sure our hearts are thriving just as much as our business?
There is only one person I know who can truly honor these questions, and I am overjoyed to introduce you to my friend, Laura Lee! Laura is a certified master-level transformational life coach who leads through her writing, speaking, group programs, and retreats for women. Her greatest joy and purpose is to help women uncover and reclaim the divine soul assignment that they are being called to and as you'll see from this chat, she has a true gift for empowerment.
Today Laura shares so many beautiful truths and nuggets, so shout-out to all my note-takers, you're going to LOVE this episode! We chat about simplifying the heart behind your business and how it's really just about showing up in your gifting. We discuss the power of letting go and holding things lightly. And Laura shares her journey to discovering her purpose and how she overcame fear and imposter syndrome. I mean, this interview is just packed with goodness and I feel like Laura's words were just a giant breath for any business owner.
I loved how she connected the heart with the hustle throughout our time together and gave us all permission to show up as ourselves in every area of our lives. I can't wait to hear what little truth bombs hit you from this episode!

The power of celebrating our gifts
As entrepreneurs, we often get so caught up in the hustle that we forget why we started in the first place. We forget the heart, we don’t acknowledge our gifts, and one day we just wake up lost and burnt out.
On this episode, Laura shares her story of learning to celebrate her giftings. It was those gifts, specifically, that led her to founding her coaching business and once she tapped into those passions, she finally found a purpose that filled her to the brim.
When she learned to hold her dreams lightly, not tightly, she discovered that she now had room to grow and expand. She was able to truly see what she had to offer and revealed a passion for coaching she didn’t really expect.
Follow the breadcrumbs.
“The best thing you can do with your life is become who you were designed to be,” says Laura. This means following your OWN breadcrumbs. “When we follow someone else’s breadcrumbs, we end up in the wrong room!” she says. When we follow another’s passion, strategy, process, or plan — we forfeit our own voice. We aren’t in tune with what WE have to offer and the gifts that we were put on this earth to share.
Laura tells us to release the expectations and remove the box. There is no box! We can become what we’re meant to become simply be examining what lights us on fire and moving forward from there. It’s deep work, but it’s worth every mile.
Best Advice to your younger self.
Trust that you are here for a purpose! Ask yourself, “what am I called to,” then go from there. Start examining what lights you up, what do you gravitate toward? Ask yourself if you’re currently operating fully in your giftings, and if not, then what’s one step you can take toward those gifts today?
“Perfection is a distraction from your power.”
