Hi. I’m Laurie. That’s me. 👇🏻
Hi, I’m Laurie.
Personal & Spiritual Coach | Community Connector | Podcast Host & Coach | Writer & Storyteller
I help women say yes to themselves, right now. Through courses, podcast coaching, community, and storytelling, I guide people to remember who they are—and find the momentum to create a meaningful life that reflect their values and their identity.
My background? I come from the world of editorial, digital media, and creative leadership. But my calling? It’s here—in this high-vibe work. Helping people tune into their truth, raise their frequency, connect with themselves and others, and create lives they don’t want to escape from.
Right now, I’m dreaming up a community/membership space for spiritual seekers in midlife—a place to gather, grow, connect, and be lit up together.
(If that sparks something in you, stay close.)
Ready for your permission slip?
If you’ve read this far, I suspect something is stirring in you. That voice saying, "It’s time." I’m here to turn that voice into something tangible.
Together, we’ll move you from dreamer to doer. We’ll release old stories, develop empowering mindsets, and create habits that support the future you're designing — within a community that feels like home.
Through transformational workshops, intimate group courses, and soulful events, I help women reconnect with what lights them up and take real steps toward what’s next. Whether you’re looking for clarity, purpose, or a path forward, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’ll walk beside you.
Your main character energy is waiting. Let’s unleash it together. Because if not now... when? To work with me 1:1, email me: Laurie@holdthelightcollective.com.
The Hold the Light podcast
When you’re ready for more, my podcast offers the perfect balance of inspiration and practical wisdom. Through solo episodes—like my book series The Freedom Transmissions—and interviews with fascinating experts, creatives, and spiritual teachers, it’s my mission to hold the light for the light-holders of the world. It's like having a circle of wise friends in your earbuds!
Podcast Coaching: Let your light shine.
As a podcast coach, I specialize in helping light-holders share their voice, their experience, their wisdom—and yes, their magic and medicine—with the world. If you have a story to tell, a message to share, or a purpose to amplify, I’m here to help you bring that into the world through the power of podcasting.
I work with people who are ready to create meaningful, resonant connections through their podcasts. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to elevate your existing show, I guide you in crafting your message, finding your voice, and building a platform to impact the people who need to hear from you. The world is waiting for you to speak up. Learn more about my packages and services here.

Trivia.
I’m a Virgo sun, Capricorn moon, and Gemini rising. While I don’t know much about astrology, I do love learning about it and using energetic shifts to help inform me how to move forward, or to take a sacred pause. I find it to be endlessly fascinating. I truly am an earth sign: rooted and grounded. I love routines, habits, and rituals — and keeping things organized.
Many moons ago, I played in a pop-folk duo called Dogwood Moon throughout my 20s, singing and playing bass, traveling the U.S. and some places in Europe. My bandmate is now my husband, Jonathan — we met when I auditioned to be in his band. A year later we fell in love. (We spent a lot of together in that van.) Our touring days are long gone, however we still work together through many of our projects. He’s what makes everything in my life sound so good 👉🏻 including my podcast, Hold the Light — Jonathan is a sound and music genius! Check out what’s he’s working on, it’s brilliant! ➡️ Family Voices AI
I’m also a mom to two teens — a son and a daughter — and I really adore my family. Like beyond adore. They are my favorite people ever. I include my dogs in this family love. An Airedale terrier named Murphy and a cute little mutt named Penny.
I have a passion for personal growth, self-inquiry, spirituality, and basically anything that keeps me engaged in forever expanding my life experience. TM is my meditation practice of choice, and it is one of the best gifts I’ve given to myself — learning this practice and doing it daily. I started it right before the lockdown in March 2020 and it has been my saving grace. My meditation practice is what kicked off a deeper journey into spirituality and tapping into a greater consciousness. I also sometimes do Dr. Joe Dispenza’s meditations that are based in quantum physics and breaking the habit of being yourself.
I have a morning practice that is a core part of who I am. It’s the favorite part of my day, the ritual I most look forward to. I wake at 5:00 AM to start my routine because being awake before the sun rises, in the silent of the morning, and in stillness and surrender, feels like magic.
Nature is my favorite place to be and Mary Oliver is my favorite poet. Her take on the natural world is breathtaking. Camping amongst trees? Hiking a mountain trail? Sitting on the beach at sunset? Let’s do it.
In addition to my time in the music world, I’ve worked in media for 20 years, all in the editorial space around lifestyle content. In 2023, I was let go from my corporate job — and it was that nudge from the Universe that said, “Darling, it’s time. Time to be in service through joy.” I looked at the void before me, decided to embrace love over fear, and said, “I’m totally doing it.” And now I’m creating structures and spaces to help lift others up so that they can shine their light into the world. Everyone is an essential piece in this great puzzle we live in.
