In this solo episode, Laura reflects on her time in Thailand with her son and the importance of “wasting time” as medicine for burnout. She shares personal stories of early motherhood, the pressures of structured routines, and the healing she found through rest, nature, and slowing down.
Laura also opens up about her decision to return to remote accountancy work – not as her soul’s purpose, but as a way to create financial safety and stability so her creative and soul-led work can flow from a grounded place.
Topics covered:
The value of wasting time as mothers
Burnout and the cycles of ease and overwhelm in motherhood
Support from nature when physical support isn’t available
The tension between soul work, hustling, and financial stability
Returning to old skills (accountancy) as a pathway to safety
Releasing perfectionism in podcasting and creative work
Laura also shares intentions for upcoming interviews and her plans to honour both creativity and rest while travelling to Bali.
