Laura reflects on the powerful experiences from her Align and Arise Retreat in Vermont. Through intimate storytelling, she shares how vulnerability, community, laughter, and release created profound healing and transformation among the women who gathered. From the first brave tears in the opening circle to the joyful ukulele songs by the fire, Laura paints a vivid picture of what happens when women allow themselves to be seen and supported. She also honors her co-facilitator, Amy, whose calming presence and radiant energy helped bring the retreat to life. Listeners will see themselves in these moments of courage, connection, and renewal — and be reminded that they, too, can find healing and alignment by opening their hearts and embracing support.
