1. No More Ghosting: Local Letters Begin

Welcome (back) to the soft relaunch of the podcast! After an unexpected five-month pause, I'm returning with a new energy, a new mini-series called Local Letters, and a deeper commitment to showing up imperfectly.This episode is raw, heart-led, and completely unfiltered—no intro, no outro, just me and you.I'm sharing the messy, honest journey of learning how to express myself without getting tangled in perfectionism, comparison, and performance. I even share a story I've never told about how self-doubt once led me to accidentally build an entire business.So - if you've ever felt like you have to have it all figured out before you can be seen, this one's for you.Timestamps:[00:00] - A soft hello and an honest return[01:30] - Why I ghosted and why I'm not mad about it[03:45] - Letting it be messy: chit chat over performance[06:20] - The trap of self-editing and comparison[08:10] - Introducing Local Letters: sharing the internal shifts[10:45] - How perfectionism keeps sneaking in (even now)[13:20] - A little story about turning an identity crisis into a business[16:00] - How past patterns shaped my creative life[17:50] - Why showing up imperfectly still feels scary—but worth it[19:15] - How learning my astrology chart helped me love my patterns[21:00] - The real reason this space matters: real connection, not performanceResources Mentioned:Social Experiment: Check Laura's Substack for more details (coming soon)Learning to Local: A series of short, heart-on-sleeve episodesAstrology Course (where she learned more on understanding subconscious patterns through the 12th house)As always, thanks for being here!:) your amica,Laura
