The Art of Courageous Connection: Building Bridges in Personal and Professional Life with Laura Lake

My guest today is Laura Lake. After almost dying 7 times, Laura has learned the importance of mental health and the drive for human connection. This perspective helped her create 2 of her signature talks “The BEDMAS of Wellness™” and “The 4 Reasons We Fail.” Her last diagnosis of PTSD inspired Laura to design the Courageous Connection™ formula for her Solopreneur Conference. It playfully calls B*S* on the “know, like, & trust” factor, elevates it, and shows Solopreneurs how to CREATE vs FIND clients. Laura Lake likes to describe herself as a playful, luminary change-maker who likes hiking, deep conversations, and nerdy cosplay. You'll often find Laura reading someone’s eyes, talking about mental health and mindfulness, or co-hosting the EntrepreNERD Summit in her Mario hat. Mess-to-message style solopreneurs hire Laura to help them elevate their stories so they can create clients & inspire change through courageous connection. In this episode we discuss connection, courage, community, failure and mental health.IG - https://www.instagram.com/lauralakesdFB - https://www.facebook.com/LauraLakeDesigns/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/1lauralakeFREEBIE - Tinyurl.com/StorySessionScholarshipIn this episode you will learn:1.
