This episode is a masterclass in courage, intuition, and answering the call—before you feel ready.This week on The Pivot Point, Laura sits down with civil rights attorney and congressional candidate Laura Dunn for a conversation that is as raw as it is powerful. From surviving sexual violence to advising the White House, Laura’s story is not a straight line, it’s a series of bold, terrifying, deeply aligned decisions.They unpack what it actually looks like to follow your inner knowing when logic is screaming “don’t do it.” From launching a national nonprofit overnight (thanks to a surprise White House feature) to running for Congress before having a plan, Laura shares how she’s learned to move fast, trust herself, and let courage lead, even when fear is loud.This episode goes beyond inspiration. It’s a real, human look at what it takes to choose yourself, again and again.
