Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Laura. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Laura thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about the best advice you’ve ever given to a client? (Please note this response is for education/entertainment purposes only and shouldn’t be construed as advice for the reader)
I remember supporting a client through the beginning of her side of a pending divorce after 23 years of marriage. Once the space was created for her to share with me the reasons for her disappointments in her spouse, and the list of perceptions that accompanied her rationale for why and how the marriage was falling away, we began to explore a different path. One that IN-POWERED her intentions in order to EMPOWER her marriage.Rather than look into the areas that were missing connection – what she desired and what she was not receiving, I asked her to travel forward in time as if those desires she wanted to experience from her partner were in alignment with her needs and expectations. This mindset shift allowed time for the emotional reaction to gently take a seat, while curiosity and calm could be explored, now granting her the possibility of a new perspective. I am known for asking my clients to “suspend the doubt” while we discover if there is room for newness, new patterns, new habits, as well as new personal and shared choices. When we focus on the past, we stay in contract with outdated energy. If we are willing to suspend the patterns long enough, our nature ignites all that is possible. We then, in essence, create energetic room as we release the old ways of observation. We view what can be possible with clearer sight. As we progressed in Empowerment Coaching, not only did she see what was possible, space for healing, acceptance, appreciation, and advancement, she also witnessed first hand how disappointment can be recalibrated into fresh possibilities. She became excited to fall into a love yet shared. She felt new, therefore, the relationship had space for growth. Their marriage is going strong! She didn’t deny realities, she became willing to look at an important relationship with new energy. Rather than remain in contact with past tiggers, she chose to respond with a new level of intellectual and creative “Thought Energy.” Thinking differently has directive over experiences. Think positively, fuel your intentions, and you may just see things in a new light.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I made a decision much later in life to bring a childhood dream that has followed me though the years to fruition. I have always intended to be an Empowerment Transformational Speaker and Coach as well as fulfilling that universal dream of becoming a writer and published author. Finally, while still suffering from a year long painful concussion, I published The Science of Empowerment, which went on to become a #1. International Bestselling book, as well as a 3X Amazon Bestselling Author.I aspire to ignite human potential on every level, and to help others create an internal living library of knowledge and positive experiences so we may collectively evolve.Along with The Science of Empowerment book, there is a new Course based from The Science of Empowerment, releasing in 2026, where redesigning the architecture of thought and how Positive Thought Energy can create an empowered life is the activator throughout the Course.I Coach on Team Leadership Connection, supporting leaders to strengthen communication and results, sparking the next tier of individual leadership. My passionate work spans private Coaching for personal Transformational Development, navigating challenges, and creating lasting growth with positive accountability. My work supports both individuals and families, where learning to release outdated patterns and behaviors fortifies clarity and personal potential, building the confidence required to experience a life well lived. I specialize in Thought Energy Speaking Engagements. This is where individuals begin to tune in with independent brilliance. Redesigning the architecture of our thinking patterns, clears space for new perspectives and positive energy momentum. I am consistently being interviewed on both National and International Podcasts and Syndicated Radio Talk Shows. I volunteer where and when needed for Suicide Prevention support, gifting books and Coaching sessions to our Veterans, and support a small Orphanage in Uganda, with the desire to one day build them a permanent home.Solving problems in this challenging time takes us on a unique path. As a Co-Creative partner in all discussions, such as coaching, and being interviewed, compassion, guidance, and proper energy input is required. I am constantly researching, reading, and exploring the science and consciousness advancements that inspire my readership, clientele, and audiences, guiding them towards alignment with their highest and best self.It is an honor to be in connection with individuals who are willing to elevate their present conditions in order to become more, so they may do more. I believe in the exploration of IN-POWERMENT, so we may then, EMPOWER others.I see energy in all things, as this framework-Thought Energy” sets me apart from other Authors, Coaches, and Speakers. I have a unique way of seeing how human potential can unfold. I believe that coded within the DNA of the human race is a memory purposefully forgotten. We are here in physical form with deep and compassionate hearts, minds that can manifest creation into experience, and dormant beauty that can show us much more than we have settled for. We are here to rediscover just how magnificent we truly are at self-healing, personal transformation, and universal evolution.I am most proud of my authentic energy. I live how I Write, Coach, and Speak, and I Speak, Coach, and Write as I live. There is no differentiation. I am that energy!
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
This is a great question. I always believed you had to have the credentials, and designations after your name in order to validate your personal best. I thought, if I were under-educated, how could I possibly offer value, insight and wisdom to support and help others. This was a strong lesson for me to unlearn and it took many “meetings of the minds” with people far smarter than myself to support me through this challenge. It still amazes me how many of us feel inadequate, under prepared, and not good enough. This lesson reared its head time and time again as I wanted to write this empowering book and yet, I felt, “who am I” to offer this knowledge on how to create an empowered life? As always, when an outsider observes your life, your story, they see with eyes that caress the view much differently than you do. There is a genuine distance, from a caring outsider, different from you, as you are the one who has lived the experiences. Once I understood that my life was an unfolding of challenges, that I had indeed, IN-POWERED my way through, in order to create an EMPOWERED life, I then connected with the energy of clarity and confidence that authorized and authenticated my personal style of brilliance. Thus, allowing me to advance and share my passionate work.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
I was training at my brother Christopher’s Neuro-muscular training facility here in Connecticut, JEKL Training. Side acknowledgement, Christopher is the creator of the J3=E Formula – the inspiration and the foundation to The Science of Empowerment. As I was training there one day, working on a back flip skill at ground level using an octagon, I blacked out and hit my head. I suffered a 437 day long concussion in the middle of writing The Science of Empowerment. I even had to get glasses as my eyesight was blurry due to a subluxation in my upper neck region, C1. It was a difficult journey for me, as I usually bounce right back from any personal setbacks. This held be back in an unexpected way. I could have easily given into the pain and let the dream of writing go. Each day for several months I had to get my neck re-adjusted, cracked the darn thing back in place so I would not fall or throw up all day, it was beyond uncomfortable and foreign to my usual high energy way of being.I had to apply the J3=E Formula in order to get through the pain and the surrender that was banging at my door! I learned about resilience during that season of my life and yes, it made me a stronger more resilient human being. Without the reader knowing the knowledge in The Science of Empowerment and the J3=E Formula, please allow me to share the JEKL Principles and the power behind Negative, Positive, Neutral, Which one are you?When this happened, the accident, each day, the reoccurring dizziness, the pain, the need for a complete silent room with no light, I would move through the J3=E Formula in my mind. I would go over this empowering transformational formula until it became a way of healing and then being.I would ask of myself –1st Principle – Awareness – What is my Awareness around this experience today?2nd Principle – Willingness – What am I willing to do today to advance this situation?3rd Principle – Accountability – How am I accountable for my healing and progress?4th Principle – Critical Thinking – Clear focused and rational thinking without influence from emotion, this supported a higher level of intelligence to come forth. I was authorizing my healing rather than staying connected to the event.5th Principle – Energy – Negative, Positive, Neutral Which one was I choosing?I chose Neutrality daily, as this became my super power, consistently advancing me towards a Positive Mindset. This state of high-level “Thought Energy” not only elevated my healing experience, it contributed an elegance to my writing. Recalibrating the very essence of the knowledge, shifting the directive of the words than originally purposed. My newfound resilience created The Science of Empowerment.
