Sh*t I Didn't Know This Job Existed

There are so many types of jobs out there that we can’t even imagine. From panda cuddlers, to professional bridesmaids and professional mourners, you might be able to find the right thing for you if you look hard enough. What is it that limits us to think of the possibilities out there? My guest today is Laura Dillon. She was an accountant and had been at her company for 14 years. After a particularly long and hard project, and as her company was going through lots of changes, Laura felt like it was time to go. She didn’t know what was going to be next but she knew she had a few non-negotiables: she wanted work-life balance, and whatever she did had to have a bigger purpose - she was done working only for the money.In a turn of events, Laura was laid off. So, there she was, pushed by the universe to move towards something uncertain and to have faith. Laura trusted her intuition, reconnected with her roots, and without knowing this was even a thing, started learning about all the ways the body has to heal itself. Now, she runs her own holistic healing center. I sit down with Laura to talk about her journey, making decisions based on faith and not fear, and what happens when you sign the lease to your new venture and a pandemic hits. Laura Dillon is the founder of Holistic Life Community in Wakefield, MA. After leaving the corporate world and working for prestigious companies like Converse (a subsidiary of Nike) and Deloitte & Touche, she started to experience mental and physical health issues that were significantly impacting her home life as a mother and wife. She left in 2017 on a journey to find natural and holistic ways to address what she was struggling with. Laura found solace when she dug deeper into her roots and heritage which is Mexican, Native American and Irish. She found tools, belief systems & lifestyle practices that addressed the mind, body and soul and she began to thrive. She opened this center to be a resource for people to find natural and holistic ways to help with whatever they are struggling with: physical, mental, emotional & spiritual. In addition to running her holistic healing center, Laura is a Spiritual Business Coach for entrepreneurs that are struggling with stepping into their purpose due to fear, imposter syndrome, etc. She uses her 22+ years in Finance and merges this experience with her energy healing practices to help entrepreneurs heal and clear blocks and limiting beliefs that are preventing them from fulfilling their passion and gifts.
