From Brokenness to Purpose: My Personal Journey and a Call to Unleash Your Inner Light
Hello everyone,
Recently, during a visit to a neurofeedback therapist initially meant for my son, I stumbled upon an unexpected path of self-discovery. The therapist's words set off flutters in my stomach as he diagnosed me with anxiety, sleeplessness, and ADHD—a triple threat that paused my world for a moment and forced me to view my life as a spectator. But this diagnosis turned out to be both a revelation and a turning point.
The Moment of Truth
"Oh Laura, I am so sorry to share this news with you," the therapist began. His next words were a jolt to my reality but also an echo of what I had long felt but hadn't fully acknowledged. As I received the news, a mix of shock and clarity washed over me. The therapist, seeing my emotional turmoil, offered a comforting hug—a gesture that broke down years of built-up barriers. This was not just a moment of vulnerability; it was the beginning of a profound transformation.
A Journey of Self-Discovery
This diagnosis was not a sentence but an invitation—an invitation to journey inward and connect with a part of me that I had neglected. How could someone like me—outwardly successful and balanced—be 'broken'? Yet, isn't our brokenness often a call to dig deeper and connect with our true selves?
Living in this challenging world, the feeling of defeat visits us often. But amidst the challenges, there is a profound truth that shines brightly: there is a light inside each of us, waiting to be unleashed. My years as an executive recruiter interviewing 30,000 people, and my lifelong engagement with personal development, have convinced me more than ever of our infinite potential and purpose.
Embracing Our Unique Mission
Each of us is born into this world with a unique mission, something special that only we can offer. Our purpose is not to conform to external standards but to discover and embrace our true selves. Our creativity and talents are gifts meant to be shared with the world, and it is our responsibility—not just a privilege—to bring forth the best of who we are.
A Call to Action
I am not alone in this awakening. Many of us are reaching new levels of consciousness, realizing that the journey to self-discovery is not just personal but collective. My hope in sharing this story is to ignite a spark within you, to take even a small step forward and celebrate it. This is the essence of growth and the path to fulfilling our true potential.
As I embark on writing a book to share my journey—the good, the bad, and the ugly—I do so with the hope that it will inspire not only my children but also anyone who reads it to recognize and embrace their inner light.
Join the Journey
I encourage you to reflect on your own experiences and consider joining me in this pursuit of purpose. Whether through my upcoming workshops or simply by engaging with this community, there is a place for everyone in this conversation.
All my blessings, Laura
