Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I'm here for it.
Parts of me have been dying as well, and I've been trying to shift and transform into someone more closely aligned with who I want to be - and who I truly am. It has not been easy, nor am I 'there' yet.
I'm trying to write some more as well, though lately I struggle with ideas and coherent thoughts. But I'll get there.
It seems like so many are going through this process of death and rebirth. It’a something I think about often and I will have write about it more. Thanks for being here!
Love it Laura, thanks for sharing. I am an avid listener of the Cosmic Matrix and have a similar back story of labeling myself as 'progressive' only to realize when Covid hit, just how much smoke and mirrors is involved in this whole movement. My husband and I are often an island among friends and family these past years with the exception of the few that we were able to convince to take a deeper look at things. I am an acupuncturist for 20 years and a lifelong seeker and learner. I love your thoughts and perspectives on the current landscape and will very much enjoy following you here and reading your longer form writings. When I listen to your thoughts and comments, I usually feel a deep resonance in the nuances you speak about. It is all too rare to find people who pull from these many areas and maintain a groundedness and realistic perspective. I myself got off of social media myself about 5 years ago and I have never felt more clean or clear than I do now. I wish all the best for you in this new phase of your journey!
Good for you for getting off social media. I can only imagine the peace you feel without it! Glad to have you here, I love acupuncture btw - it has helped ground me so much over the past years.
Love that! I feel like acupuncture is kind of my main mode, but I do very similar work to what I think you do in your sessions and trainings, which is see where people might be on a landscape, and help them get to that next place. I know you have worked with Mark Jones and I have a little as well. It’s that type of transpersonal psych work, but I incorporate the somatics of acupuncture with it. In regards to your moving into this space of deeper writings, I have often felt that I could never do what I do in a more public space or larger arena because it would exact so much emotional energy from me and also put me under a spotlight that would affect my work. In fact, the getting off social media showed me just how energetically influenced I still can be after all this time and all this growth. There is something about this work that we do that requires a full tank much of the time and how wonderful that amidst all the great things you have been doing, with high feedback from so many, that you still stepped back when you were called. So I just wanted to say… deep respect. Our roads and paths can be so wildly surprising sometimes!
Amazing words. I’m so grateful to be open to hearing them, and for you to share. Authenticity is essential as we move forward. I have hidden parts of me with my immediate family and others because they think I’m weird and my thoughts are not normal. I bent myself to fit others view of the world. I find everyday I getter more vocal and stronger with how I show up. I too have addiction as part of my story, and how life is so much interesting being clear and how I find connection to all that is on a much deeper level. I am truly loving my life at the moment as I celebrate how far I’ve come and look forward to how far I’ll go. Again thank you for getting back to yourself for yourself as you help others find themselves again too. Much love
I love this, Laura. Thank you for sharing here. I am drawn to everything you put out and am thrilled for this longer form content. Social media has had less and less of a pull for me so to hear from you like this feels very nourishing. I've been battling my own addiction with the phone and am drawn to writing as well.
My life is completely different than it was 5 years ago and I give less and less shits about how people receive me. I don't publicly share my views anymore but have been doing so much privately with people of all perspectives. While it can sometimes get heated, I'm finding that I can stay in my center more and more when interacting with those with different viewpoints. And truly I'm finding that we have so much more in common than not.
I take things less personally now from myself and from others and I see us all as figuring this whole life thing out as we go. I love hearing all different perspectives and the feeling I have in my body when things resonate as truth.
I'm excited for your astrology insights and to hear more about the Pluto generations. You're one of my faves to hear from for sure!
Taking things less personally is really the key, isn’t it? I too have learned that lesson (the hard way) over the past few years. So happy you’re here too , Nadia!
Thank goodness you’re here Laura. I have been following you and Bernard since just before the pandemic ( which , if memory serves a guest you’d had on the cosmic matrix had foretold of . A gentleman, an evolutionary astrologer?)
In any case , you’ve been a mentor and teacher to me for many years .
OMG, that was Michael Lutin. You’re right — he shared about the Saturn Pluto conjunction late 2019 right before it all went down. He recently passed this last year too, what a download he gave us before his exit. Thank you for being here!
Absolutely loved reading every word. Writing is this gift that saves us, brings us back to ourselves, and can do so much good when shared. Tending to the inner flame seems to be the only way through everything in life. This is the real power. Elated to read more.
I’m looking forward to walking alongside you on this journey, Laura. I went through a very painful death of my old self in 2017-2018 when I realized the double life I was leading, the hypocrite I was, the lies I was telling myself, and it wasn’t until I wanted out of this world more than anything that I started to pray to God. I never really believed before then, and yet with God’s help I slowly started the transformation that I continue this day. It was through David Avocado Wolfe’s Telegram page that I saw some posts of yours, and they were such incredible food for my soul. From there, I sought out more and more content such as your podcasts. Thank you so very much for sharing your journey. You are making the world a better place.
"I refuse to let what’s happened extinguish the light I’ve so carefully nurtured.
So I sit with it. I feel it. And eventually, the feelings transform. I’ve always believed that if this is a spiritual war, it must be won from within."
This is exactly what’s happening, Laura—on one, and possibly two, fronts.
Right now, the media is deliberately trying to sever people from their intuitive sense of judgment. *They do this because they think they can get away with it*—especially the sold-out legacy media and all the flagrantly partisan, garbage journalism that fuels their engine.
The other possibility? This may be happening on a level far less mundane. Are these grotesque attempts to bifurcate our species being driven by external forces—ET, demonic, or otherwise?
I leave that second question to others, and to their *sovereign* selves, to consider.
But here's the thing:
The solution is exactly the same in both cases.
Think for yourself. Stay vigilant. Tune into the peace you deserve, and *withdraw* your energy from the circus that’s trying to divide us.
Laura - thank you for being called to speak and share over the last years. You're a voice in the crowded space and algorithm that lasers through... and is a great comfort. I feel the same way about writing and connecting elsewhere. So glad you are here and I will continue to tune into your evolution that supports mine :)
Holy shit. I feel super aligned with every word here. Wow. Thank you, Laura!! This is the first time I have found your work. Sounds like we are around the same age. It's been super hard for me to turn 40 this year. I've written a bit about it but not much. Lots of trauma and health issues coming to light to be healed, forgiven, worked through. It's fucking tough as hell. I wonder how we might support one another. Thanks for being here: in your raw authenticity, your long-form style, your non-labeled leanings, and in your truest Self. It's an honor to read your words, and I look forward to reading more 🙏🏼
Laura, thank you for sharing your stories, experiences, insights, and most intimate thoughts. I look forward to getting to read more of your writing. You are a blessing. 💕✨🦋
So glad to see you writing longer articles again! You have an amazing gift. I feel so much of this. I've noticed with most of the people who have stuck with me over the last five years that it's hard for them to wrap their heads around I'm not this or that but a third undefined thing.
Hi, Laura! I was thrilled to hear that you were headed over to Substack (although it's become more social media-ish over the last year or so). I try to ignore that and focus on the writing.
You're one of the few people I've stayed on Instagram to read (I'm shewhositswithtrees over there). I do love the memes you drum up! :) And all the Sagittarius in my chart has enjoyed how unabashedly honest you've been during the past crazy years.
I'm looking forward to reading your writing. Welcome to Substack!
Your writing is beautiful and resonant. I think you just named your community, A Third Thing: A place for the annoyingly undefinable.
Hahaha. This will definitely be a place for those “Third things”. Thank you for being here!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I'm here for it.

And God bless everyone who may read this.
I was so happy to read your first article here today! What a beautiful, intimate share and I can't wait to read more.
I'm a third thing too (but you probably knew that, ha!) ❤️❤️❤️
So glad you’re here too! Here’s to more spaces for us third things to hang out.
Laura - thank you for being called to speak and share over the last years. You're a voice in the crowded space and algorithm that lasers through... and is a great comfort.

So glad to have you here Ryan, looking forward to reading your thoughts here too.
Wow, I love coming across someone's writing that is a mirror...excited to follow along.
