Episode 218 -- Laura Flowers -- We All Have Infinite Potential
Manage episode 475279477 series 3422054
What happens when a school psychologist with 18 years of experience decides to completely transform her career path? Laura Flowers joins us to share her remarkable journey from education professional to life coach and Reiki master practitioner, revealing the courage it takes to walk away from security toward purpose.
Laura opens up about what compelled her to leave the stability of her psychology career—mounting paperwork, expanding caseloads, and less time actually helping people. Though terrifying to step away from a reliable paycheck and benefits, she describes the energizing joy of finally working with women in transition on her own terms, combining Western psychological principles with Eastern energy healing techniques.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Laura explains Reiki energy work and how blocked chakras manifest as both physical ailments and emotional struggles. She shares practical wisdom about the power of stillness and breath, offering listeners simple techniques like box breathing to center themselves in moments of stress. Most compelling is her philosophy on trust—both trusting oneself completely and approaching relationships with open trust until proven otherwise.
Behind Laura's confident guidance lies profound personal experience with life's greatest challenges. She courageously reveals the "massive boulders" she's faced, including losing her mother to cancer at age 23 and the unimaginable pain of losing a child. Rather than letting tragedy define her, Laura has transformed these experiences into a wellspring of empathy, becoming what she calls a "lighthouse"—standing firm and grounded while providing light for others navigating storms.
