Do you ask for what you want?  Most people think that they are asking for what they want when in reality the manifestation of their requests is stifled by internal doubt, fear, and feelings of unworthiness.   Having the ability to ask for what you want brings with it the opportunity to dream bigger, receiving more than you ever thought to ask for, and co-create with the Universe in the most unexpected ways.   In this episode Betsy and Laura discuss what it means to pull out all the energetic stops and dissolving the fear around asking for what you really want: The (not so) secret practice that allows for radical transformation. Stacking your wins. Navigating all your emotions in the frequency of joy. Radical honesty about our judgments. How human design supports your deconditioning journey. Leaping into the unknown with full confidence. Specific versus Non-specific manifestation. How Laura manifested her most bougie house yet.   Join The Activation, a 3-Day Masterclass to Unlock Your Soul's Energy Codes HERE.    Find The Playground waitlist here.

We all want to know how to leap ahead, compress time, and achieve our goals faster. Who wouldn't want to realize their dreams ASAP? And yet, in our quest to Just. Get. There. Faster. we can so easily slip into a ‘rinse and repeat' mentality when it comes to the creative side of our work.  Our feminine power gets pushed aside in favor of the well-worn paths of masculine “How-To”.  But... What if that same success could be had through the energy of the feminine? What if your life's work became more than just what pays the bill…it becomes a work of art. What if you were to step into receiving not for what you do or have, but what WHO you are and what you desire. Radical. Success has been done in the masculine over and over. Success while holding - embodying - the space of womanhood, of feminine leadership, IS the new frontier. And it's leadership from the feminine that allows for a new way of reaching the highest heights of success while healing, growing in, and embodying love. Feminine energy magnetizes differently. In the feminine, more than one of us can rise. We can all rise. We can all win.   In this episode, Betsy and Laura share: The gift of a beginner's mindset. The upward spiral of growth. Bringing artistry back to your business. When the passion in your business starts to feel like a grind. Channeling your work in real-time. Where collapsing time goes wrong. How Laura is reshaping her notions of womanhood and motherhood.

"Individually and collectively, we are shifting from a position of fear into surrender and trust of the intuitive. The power of the feminine energy is on the rise in our world." Shakti Gawain Like so many women, I used to be stuck in the masculine energy of doing. I had to work harder and longer. I had to show up every single day as the person that made things happen. The person that took action and was in control. The overachiever. The perfectionist. The people pleaser. I tried to control as much as I could because inside, I felt so out of control. It wasn't until I looked inside myself, faced up to the messy stuff and consciously made the decision to shift into the feminine energy of receiving that I truly healed. In today's ep, I'm chatting to the beautiful Laura Herde, a Mindset and Manifestation coach. Laura works with female entrepreneurs to help them move from a place of overwhelm, embrace their feminine energy and find flow in mental, emotional and time freedom. We chat about: -How Laura's upbringing and past trauma subconsciously shifted her into a place of being the “strong” one and the belief system she developed to suppress her emotions, hold everything inside and ignore her body's cues. -The power we can experience when we shift into our feminine energy of receiving and flow. When we can embrace that flow, everything in our world begins to align and we can truly connect with our mind and our body. Laura discusses her path to letting her feminine energy in and the practices she uses every day to check in with herself. -The process Laura takes with her clients through shifting the existing paradigms of doing, mastering our resources and healing the trauma in our bodies. There is so much power in flow and receiving and this episode is a subconscious permission slip for you to embrace that. If you'd like to know more about Laura, you can check her out on Instagram.

Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, Laura Stewart recognized her love for drawing and painting at an early age. A high school art class assignment to write and illustrate a children's book inspired her dream to make a “real” book. Luckily, she had many wonderful art teachers and professors who helped shape her into the successful design professional she is today. Eyelash Wishes is her first published book; she plans to create more, as her sons provide her with daily inspiration. When not spending her free time creating art and designs, she is a full-time Assistant Art Director by day and juggling a busy baseball schedule for both sons, by night. In May 2020, Laura and her husband Josh became grandparents to their first grandson. “Grandma and Grandpa” have been replaced by “Lolli and Pop” which served as the inspiration for Laura's publishing business name, LolliPop Stories. Here's what we covered on the episode: How Laura Got Started in Design + Jobs She's Had Along the Way () How Laura and I have known each other since high school, went to college together and how or families have been involved in the same activities  Laura shares that she has always been into art and tells us that in high school during a career fair, she met Denny Kaven, who was leading the graphic design program at Grand View University which inspired her to do graphic design as a major  When Laura started at Grand View University she double majored in graphic design and secondary art education, but later dropped her second major to focus on graphic design  When Laura was in college she met and became close with a girl who was a year older, and when her friend graduated, she went and worked for an agricultural publication, which is where Laura also ended up working after she graduated While working for the agricultural publication, Laura had been getting ads from other ad agencies to be in their magazine and she saw one agency was hiring so she applied and got the job, she started working from home and learned a lot more skills  About two years into the job, Laura thought she didn't want to work from home anymore, so she took a chance and applied at Two Rivers, a local marketing agency and spent the last 9 years there, and says she gained most of her experience there  In January, Laura stopped working at Two Rivers because of covid, but says she took it as an opportunity to take a break and decided to make her book, that has been on the back burner for years, a reality  Laura explains the processes for getting each of her jobs and explains for the agricultural publication, she didn't have to do much, for her second one she had to send in some of the ad work she had been doing and for Two Rivers, she did multiple interviews and shares she didn't have an online portfolio but brought in samples of her other projects to present   Why networking in this industry is so important — Laura says that's how she's been able to get her foot in the door with all of the companies she's worked at  After Laura lost her job, she spent two straight weeks rewriting her resume and creating an online portfolio and then put out on LinkedIn that she had lost her job and was looking for one — that post was seen by 1,000 people How someone saw her post and shared it with a guy who used to work with Laura at Two Rivers, he reached out to her and said they were looking to create a position at Mittera, a local advertising agency and they could use someone at her level, so she started working for them  Laura talks about how she created Mary Kay websites for consultants and says they were bright and bold, but says it was nice to have something outside of cattle    Laura explains her role at Mittera, which she says is different for her because at Two Rivers she was a very hands on art director, and at Mittera she leads a group of 3 designers, says she gets to draw more, and help out with different in-house projects that are different than anything else she's done  Making Her Dream Book a Reality () How Laura used her sons as inspiration for her book and in 2017 she got the idea for Eyelash Wishes from her son Ryne, and says the book is all about kid wishes that were made from wishing on eyelashes When Laura started her book, she didn't tell anyone about it until around Christmas, where she shared it with 5 other people who told her she should finish it — she convinced herself to just do it and has sold over 200 copies on Amazon, where you can still get it today  How Eyelash Wishes has sparked a fire in Laura to write other books and made her realize how many stories are all around her that she could use as inspiration  Laura shares that she illustrated all of Eyelash Wishes on her own by taking pictures of Ryne and then drawing them, she says that her drawing skills and graphic design skills helped her create this book all on her own    If anyone has a passion project they've been wanting to do, Laura says just do it, because it's really cool to say you did it in the end and if you want to write a children's book but have questions, reach out to Laura  Laura explains a lot of the little things you need to know when creating a book and says she found most of the information she needed online, so you can too  The best piece of advice Laura wants to give is to purchase multiple ISBN numbers because they can be kind of expensive, but you get a discount if you buy multiple and adds, once you get one book under your belt, you'll probably want to do another  How Laura found the original book she wrote in high school that inspired her to write a children's book and how she might revive that book and publish it In the future, Laura might have her son Ryne illustrate a book because he has that artistic ability and thinks it would be fun to collaborate with him  Buy Eyelash Wishes on Amazon, check out her website, Lollipop stories.com or connect with Laura on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter Laura talks about how she did weigh the option of doing freelance full-time and says it's not out of the question for the future, but she has always just stuck to doing side projects while working her full-time jobs for security    Links mentioned:   Eyelash Wishes on Amazon    LolliPop Stories Publishing

Laura Palmer will never forget the first big technology sales deal she ever closed.Having only worked professionally as an inside sales rep, Laura took a leap of faith early in her business career and negotiated a half-a-million deal with a customer while “kind of knowing what I was doing and kind of not knowing what I was doing,” she says. So when Laura stood up for herself by telling the CEO of her company that she believed she should be promoted to a field rep, it's no surprise she was given the job on the spot.Since then, Laura — who now serves as Vice President of Sales, Americas & EMEA at Unity Technologies — has built an extremely successful career in sales and sales leadership. On this episode of Go to Market Grit, Joubin and Laura talk about returning to the office in a post-COVID world, as well as the importance of building relationships with customers by physically showing up.In this episode, we cover: From inside sales to top field rep: How Laura 'demanded the ball', closed a large sales deal, and earned a promotion.

Spiritual surrender is when we give up our attachment to specific beliefs or desired outcomes. You let go of preconceived ideas or notions of how something should look or feel. Okay sounds good but HOW do we do that? What does it actually look like? Saying you are surrendering and actually surrendering are two very different things. Declaring that you are surrendering doesn't make it so… it requires work. Most literature says here that you put your trust in Source, the Divine, or the Universe… but what you are really being asked to do is trust your highest authority and your human design.   In this episode you will hear: What is spiritual surrender actually means. Mistakes being made with surrendering Bargaining with the Universe and trying to force a specific outcome. Art of Surrender and using your Human Design to support you. An example of control: The lunar cycle vs. your menstrual cycle. How Laura embodied surrendered and released an old trauma using the Full Moon. Surrender is not a business strategy. The Black Hole that sucks up your time and energy. How Projectors can step into only working 4 hours / day. How Betsy’s surrender to embodying her own human design. The IN BETWEEN: Turning Negative into Positive. Following your authority and strategy are the easiest and fastest ways to attract what you desire.   P.S.

This week on the show I invited my friend and licensed Psychotherapist, Laura Mullis as she brings so much wisdom around doing deep work with things like trauma and how it looks like with her practice. Laura and I pretty much share the same sentiment of the significance of going inward and how our soul’s journey is coming home to yourself. Tune in to discover:Laura’s storyTwo types of wounds: Trauma & AttachmentRecognizing Attachment wounds and How Laura discovers themLaura’s take on doing inner workLaura Mullis is a Trauma and Dissociation Expert and Licensed Psychotherapist. Her life's passion is helping people understand their symptoms, reclaim their lives and become the person they envision. She entered the field of therapy over 14 years ago with a desire to help people heal from addictions. While working in the addiction field, it became apparent to her that many people were using addiction to numb unbearable pain and unspeakable truths. It was during this time, she had the realization that in order to help people fully recover, she had to learn how to help them not only tell the story of their pain but find a way to help them learn the pain was in the past and the pain could not limit their future.Connect with Laura >> https://www.triumph-center.net/Email >> lfmullis@gmail.comResourcesCreate Your Purpose Journal >> https://www.amazon.com/Create-Your-Purpose-journey-finding/dp/B087R5PLJ3Instagram >> instagram.com/chaneemomokoEmail >> hello@chaneemomoko.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Copywriting is one of the most important skills you need to develop as an entrepreneur. Think of how much copy you need to write in a given year: weekly emails, blog posts, social media captions, marketing emails, sales pages–oh my!   But so many entrepreneurs tell me, “Yea, but I just don’t know WHAT to say!” or “I don’t know how to sound like myself!” or “I don’t know how to be engaging and capture people’s attention.” If you’ve got a major case of writer’s block, or if trying to write emails or copy for your business makes you groan or break a sweat, this episode is for you!   My guest today, Laura Belgray, is the founder of Talking Shrimp and co-creator of The Copy Cure. Laura is a copywriting expert who helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield) she’s seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your Buy button.   In addition to online types, Laura’s list of clients and credits include NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many, many more. So if you watch TV — and don’t skip the commercials — you’ve probably seen her words on air.     What you’ll learn in this episode:   How to deal with haters or unsubscribers from polarizing emails How Laura teamed up with Marie Forleo to create The Copy Cure course How to do a ‘lazy launch’ in your business What to do if you don’t know how to sound like yourself when you write, or if you think you’re “boring” How to come up with story ideas   Subscribe and Review   Thanks so much for joining me this week.

Not too long ago, REALTORS were unified, often claiming to be neither Democrat nor Republican but members of the REALTOR Party. Today, however, the polarization in our country is reflected in the real estate community. And the recent changes to the NAR Code of Ethics, specifically Standard of Practice 10-5, seem to have pushed us even farther apart. So, how are these changes likely to affect REALTORS in practice? Can we be more inclusive without favoring one political party over another?   Laura Farley serves as General Counsel at the Virginia REALTORS Association, and she has more than 10 years of experience handling and supervising professional standards cases. Prior to joining the state association, Laura was an attorney for the Northern Virginia Association of REALTORS. On this episode of Industry Relations, Laura joins Rob and Greg to provide an overview of the three major changes to NAR’s Code of Ethics and offer insight into how those changes might impact real estate professionals now that the professional standards apply to everything a REALTOR does, real estate related or not.   Laura explains why NAR’s list of protected classes in Standard of Practice 10-5 is more inclusive than a lot of states and addresses the subjective nature of determining intent as well as the concerns that 10-5 gives some REALTORS more speech rights than others. She also discusses the significance of removing the word ‘willful’ from NAR’s definition of public trust, introducing us to the concept of disparate impact—and why it may or may not apply to Article 10. Listen in for Laura’s insight on how 10-5 has further polarized the REALTOR community and get her take on the best possible outcome around the revised Code of Ethics.   What’s Discussed:     Laura’s decade of legal experience with professional standards cases Laura’s overview of the 3 major changes to the NAR Code of Ethics Why NAR’s list of protected classes is more inclusive than most state lists The significance of the word ‘use’ in Standard of Practice 10-5 (REALTORS must not ‘use’ harassing speech, hate speech, epithets or slurs) The controversy around how 10-5 gives some REALTORS more speech rights than others The subjective nature of determining an agent’s intent to harm, hurt or harass How Laura thinks about the concerns of REALTORS on the political right re: implicit bias The significance of removing the word ‘willful’ from the definition of public trust The concept of disparate impact and why it may or may not apply to Article 10 How the change to 10-5 has further polarized the REALTOR community   Connect with Laura:   Virginia REALTORS Laura at Virginia REALTORS     Connect with Rob and Greg:    Rob’s Website Greg’s Website    Resources: Laura’s Code of Ethics Update Video Virginia REALTORS Code of Ethics Resources NAR Code of Ethics Changes NAR’s Code of Ethics & Standards of Practice Rob’s Post on an Alternative to the New Speech Code Virginia REALTORS Diversity & Inclusion PAG Rob’s Post on Disparate Impact Norwood v.

Laura Nirider (@LauraNirider) is the co-director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, and the co-host of the Wrongful Conviction: False Confessions podcast. What We Discuss with Laura Nirider: Two to five percent of people currently serving time in prison have been falsely convicted. False confessions and admissions are present in 15 to 20 percent of all DNA exonerations. The United States is one of the only countries in the world that allows police to lie about evidence during interrogations. Why so many people are coerced into providing false confessions during interrogations that are gentle compared to the more "hands on" approach taken by police in decades past. How Laura is working to clean up interrogation techniques so they're still effective in solving crimes without trapping innocent people in the system. And much more...

Writing humbles you. It makes you see things in yourself -  your writing, your worldview, your weird way of expressing ideas - that you didn’t otherwise notice. Most people have a dream of writing a book but never realize it. Not because they can’t or don’t know how, but because they’re afraid. Because an unrealized dream is safer than an action that could fail.   In today’s episode of Abundantly Clear podcast, Malorie talks to Laura Gale, an author, editor, and ghostwriter. Laura shares why being totally honest with what you want in life is super important, and how writing helps you do exactly that. She also shares how writing, a super incredible tool, can be used to clear up our minds and get laser-focused on our goals. Tune in to learn more!   You’ll Learn:   How Laura got started in the entrepreneurial world How she’s learned to replicate people's voices so well when writing by building real relationships Some of the stories that Laura turns down The therapeutic component of writing people’s stories and so much more!   Favorite Quote:   The best advice I've ever gotten came really really early from a guy who'd been in entrepreneurship for years and he said to me, “Leave space in your life for serendipity.”   - Laura Gale    Connect with Laura:   Website: lauraiswriting.com Podcast: The Business of Writing    How to get involved Malorie has become an expert in helping people remove their mindset blocks, so they can experience the growth in their business and decrease in stress they desire.

Queen, this is an episode I didn’t want to share. Part of me still doesn't. And yet, I know this will be great and really freeing. For most of my career, I haven't shared failure or bumps along the way. Today, that changes.I’m here with Laura Belgray, a celebrity copywriter and an extraordinary human being. Instead of an interview, this episode ended up being my personal therapy session with Laura. I’m so grateful to her for all the wisdom, insight, and understanding, and I'm sure her words will serve you well too.Recently, I had to come face to face with failure. This story is related to my business, but it’s very personal and vulnerable to me. I wanted to share it in part because I needed to work through it, but mostly because I want you to know you’re not alone. This is something I want to leave behind. And on this last day of 2020, let’s get it all out of our system. Everyone is doing their best, and today is the day to leave behind feeling less-than just because something didn’t work out. We're all in this together and I’m so proud of everything we’ve done. Key points discussedWhy I felt reluctant to share this (00:00)OK, so this is what happened (07:27)The most important thing I realized (12:59)How to show up as your true, vulnerable self (16:50)Keeping up appearances vs real life (23:34)Why I’m not available for any criticism (32:25)How Laura helps writers tap into their potential (37:54)Why Laura decided she wants to write her book (42:14)The main takeaways and promises I want to make (48:52)Additional resourcesQueen… Laura just blew my mind today.

On todays episode of Ultimate Podcast Marketing, I'm introducing you to Laura Clark! My very own podcast editor! And we're going to walk you through what to expect when you hire a podcast editor.I originally met Laura back in February of 2020 when she did some work for me as a virtual assistant and totally made my life easier! And of course I don't need to tell the story of my business shift again, but several months later I reached out to Laura again to see if she had capacity to help me to edit my podcast.Look, I know I'm totally capable of editing my podcast myself, but to be honest with you I'm not as organized with my own content as I am with my clients' content. And I think that's normal, most people I speak with tell me that their content comes dead last and that's why we ultimately start working together.Having the accountability to Laura to get her all of my recordings and keep her in the loop of what's coming up next and what to expect is so essential for me. It's also a huge weight off my shoulders - you've probably heard me say how important it is to batch record and be proactive with your content, right? The only way I can do that is by having a deadline to get my content over to Laura, so that she can do her magic and edit my podcasts. In this episode we talk about:How Laura and I started working togetherLaura's podcast project at Ryerson's Social Venture Zone that examines class, how it impacts people's perceptions of one another and why a podcast is the perfect medium for thisHow podcast audio aesthetic can help shape stories and narrative, and the construction of a storyHow to communicate feedback for the podcast editing process with your editorWorking on a production process with your editorThe importance of batch recording and editingEssential production elements that every podcaster should be implementingWhat to listen for during the editing processEmpowering guests with some knowledge of the editing process so they feel more confident when they're on a podcastHow to leave them wanting more!Laura is amazing and I feel so lucky that she's on The Ultimate Creative team! Laura would love to get your input for her new podcast, so if you or someone you know has a story about someone taking your class temperature, has given you a chance without a degree, if you've had to change your name to increases your chances of getting a job interview, Laura wants to hear it!

In this week’s episode, we sit down with interior design expert Laura Thurman of Thurman Design Studio based in Nashville, Tennessee. We chat about how to handle bold, fall colors as well as having pieces of furniture in your living space that create a splash. We also discuss how to balance decor pieces that you may have picked up from different parts of the world with decor pieces that you already have. What You’ll Hear on This Episode: Laura’s take on the “modern” style and what it means to her. How important it is to educate clients on the design process, because most of the time, inspiration comes from education. How to not be afraid of bold, non-traditionally neutral colors and how to incorporate them into your fall decor. How Laura takes an outdated house and gives it a much more modern approach without tons of major renovations. How to utilize gallery walls in your space, and what goes into creating a good one! How your personality and interests should shine through when it comes to the design of your house, just like in Laura’s Cherokee Soul project. Design tips for when you have a bold-coloured piece of furniture. The importance of balancing new and older or collected decor pieces to keep a modern feel to your space. How to have a balance of scale and not have your space feel too cluttered while allowing your eyes to rest in certain areas. The three design elements that can spruce up a neutral color palette in a space. The importance of designing a fabulous powder room. How to decorate a foyer and give some advice on how to incorporate patterns, coffee tables, and faux plants! Mentioned In This Episode: Thurman Design Studio Laura Thurman on Instagram Laura Thurman on Facebook Laura Thurman on Pinterest Decorating Dilemma Laura thinks you should paint the whole foyer! Because the walls are faceted, painting just one wall doesn’t seem practical, so go big or go home! When it comes to the rug, Laura thinks a big, round, patterned rug would be best because it would take up more floor space.You should also put the Wedgewood gray on the ceiling and stick to navy on the walls. Laura also doesn’t think the arches should be the same color as the foyer, especially if the arches are introducing a room that is a different color. For having two young kids, we’re all very impressed with how tidy your space is! Keep playing with some more patterns since your sofa and pillows are pretty solid, we recommend swapping out the solid pillows for some patterned ones. We also noticed you don’t have a coffee table and have two square ottomans instead, but we think a bigger, round ottoman would complement your space very well. You should also consider painting the mantle navy blue or a deep green! Some drapes in the dining area would help make everything look a little more cohesive. Some greenery or faux plants would also make your home feel more lived-in and can bring life to a space.

Today we talk with Betsy and Laura Milne, the minds behind the coaching brand and podcast, Luscious Hustle. Coincidentally sharing the same surname, Betsy and Laura aren’t sisters. But their closeness is plain to see in our conversation about their business relationship. We chat about how they met online and what their lives before Luscious Hustle looked like. Laura discusses her move from wanting to be a pediatrician to entering the network marketing world and discovering her love for personal branding — an interest fueled by her conversations with Betsy. Betsy shares how she got burnt-out while working a high-performing job in the fashion industry, moved back home, and then overcame her uncertainty to become a health coach. While talking about marketing, we delve into the importance of intentionality and taking the time to build relationships instead of playing the numbers games. After Betsy and Laura talk about learning from their podcast guests, they provide insights into how you can set up a successful business and partnership without ever meeting face-to-face. Tune in to hear more about working in tandem and nurturing your partnerships.Key Points From This Episode:• Laura’s life leading up to creating her podcast and getting into personal branding.• A key marketing lesson; make sure that what you’re selling aligns with the buyer.• Building your business with intentionality versus playing the numbers game.• Betsy’s experience working in the fashion industry and then starting her business.• Raising yourself above uncertainties and trauma and stepping into your goals.• The need for “blind-spot-detecting” friends and being stronger together.• How Laura trusted her intuition and left her nursing job to find more.• The misconception that it is a struggle to create a business with an online partner.• Rebuilding communication channels when your energy bandwidth runs out.• The importance of therapy and how our parents shape our lives.Shareables:“That’s what our podcast became about — I want to be having conversations with interesting,smart, intelligent women who are reimagining how they can live their life.” — Laura Milne[0:11:14]“We’re in such a fast-paced business landscape that people are sending out hundreds of invites hoping to get one response instead of spending time building relationships.” — Cassandra Shuck [0:14:11]“You can run a business anywhere.

In today’s episode, guest host Marissa talks with Laura Grazioli. Laura is a Registered Dietitian with a passion for helping soon-to-be-moms feel their best during pregnancy. She is a mom to a 21-month-old boy and has a baby girl on the way. Laura uses her background in prenatal nutrition, coupled with her own personal pregnancy experiences to help pregnant women learn how to nourish themselves and their growing babies, guide them through managing unpleasant pregnancy symptoms, and embrace the bodily changes that come along with pregnancy and motherhood. “When I started, it was pre-COVID and I was working in a physical office. I had an independent contractor working for me as well, so we had a revenue split. So I took some of the revenue that she brought in, and we were bringing in usually somewhere around $5,000 a month. Since COVID started, and she's got two kids and she's really busy with them, she is taking the time to be with them, so I'm now just by myself. And last month, I brought in $6,800, and my goal for the next three months is to reach $8,000 months.” -  Laura Grazioli In today’s episode… Why it’s important to feel like you have a purpose in your work How Laura created processes to streamline her business Laura embraced the changes brought on by a global pandemic to become a Dietitian Boss   Guest Resources: Connect with @prenatal_nutritionistWebsite: www.newleafboca.com    Free Resources from Libby Are you ready to start your journey?

"I had to keep believing that my Olympic dream was still alive until the race was over."   Laura Thweatt ran a fast, fierce, gutsy race at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta — a hard effort that earned her a fifth-place finish. But fifth place at the Trials is a tough spot: When the first three finishers make the team and the fourth-place finisher is the alternate, fifth place is so close, but so far from being on the Olympic team. On this episode, Laura — a 2:25 marathoner who runs for Saucony and is coached by Joe Bosshard — recaps her race at the Trials, offers advice for runners dealing with injuries or setbacks, and talks about how the Covid-19 crisis has affected her training so far and her year ahead.   Thank you to AfterShokz for sponsoring this episode of the Ali on the Run Show! CLICK HERE for 15% off wireless headphones.
