I think safety doesn't automatically come when you enter a room when you're a minority, and I think that if you're looking around trying to find your safety, that makes so much sense, noticing that you are the only one in the room.

She shares candid reflections on maintaining sobriety during the end of her high-profile marriage and the lingering effects of withdrawal. Through it all, Laura underscores the importance of self-care practices like meditation and exercise, which have been her anchors. But Laura's journey doesn't stop at personal recovery.
She has been a tireless advocate for diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, values that have deeply influenced her work in education and beyond. Her efforts have earned her global recognition, including a TEDx talk and articles in HuffPost and The Temper. In this conversation, Laura also delves into the healing power of writing. She encourages listeners to find their voices and share their stories, highlighting how writing has been a crucial part of her own healing process.
Her memoir 'STASH' is not just a book; it's a testament to resilience and the transformative power of storytelling.
