Laurie Anne is a woman with a fascinating past. Raised by a single mom with a unique perspective, was a wide-eyed innocent in the '80s, taken under the wing by members of big-name rock bands like big brothers. Traveled the world wrestling in jello, mud, and oil. Modeled impressively and still does; it is her balance in life.
Then an experience in relationship control changed her world and her path. She now has lines in the sand that she does not allow crossing. She has a passion and empathy for women in desperate situations.
Yet, she remains warm, bubbly, and engaging, Her eyes still sparkle.
There are some amazing insights in her conversation with Mark.
