Helping people has always been second nature to Laura—she loves solving problems, offering support, and making life a little brighter. These days, her biggest adventure is being a first-time mom to her sweet daughter. Parenthood has taught her patience, adaptability, and the fine art of functioning on very little sleep! When she's not chasing tiny hands that grab everything in sight, she's outside soaking up the sun with her husband and daughter, tending to her garden, or trying (and sometimes failing) to keep her indoor plants alive. Babies and houseplants have a lot in common—they both demand attention, thrive in the right conditions, and aren’t shy about letting you know when something’s wrong!
