Hi there! I’m Laura, and I’m oh-so-happy you’re here.
I’m a mother of three beautiful girls (Selma, 6.5, Violet, 4, and Jolene, >1) and my husband and I moved to Aspen, Colorado with our babies and our gigantic, geriatric goldendoodle during the pandemic. We went from living in a booming metropolitan city with a casual 7- or 8-million-person population to setting up camp in a town with just shy of 5,000! Now we live on top of a mountain in a town where Instacart delivery takes up to two days and Uber, never mind UberEATS, aren’t exactly a “thing” just yet. While the learning curve on figuring out how to use my oven was a steep one, I’m not sure we could love living here more if we tried.
I graduated at the top of my class from Northeastern University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and all of my sh*t together, which I promptly decided to throw out the window as soon as I turned 23. Crazy as it sounds, I knew I wanted a family, and I had this terrible feeling that the means by which I was pursuing a career wouldn’t allow me to be present for my future husband and children (wow, incredible that this anxiety started over a decade ago!) I wanted to build a life I loved that allowed me to pursue my passions while making a great living and showing up for the people I loved in my life before anything else. At the time, “remote work” was still pretty rare and most people thought I was crazy for trying to start my own business fresh out of college, but I’m always up for the road less traveled because I’ve found it tends to take me to all of the best places.
This company has been a dream come true for me as it’s enabled me to have all of those things I dreamed of all those years ago, and I am so grateful for every opportunity I get to give that gift to the clients I work with every day.
Thank you for being here! I would love to hear from you if you have any questions or just want to say “hi.”
