Not What I Had in Mind...with author Laura Diaz Freeland💖

Shine on You with Renee Novello & Christina Lanae

Hello friends!

Hold on to your hearts for today's guest interview with captivating storyteller, author & creative with @ohhilaurahere, Laura Diaz Freeland.

A short time ago, Laura went through an unimaginably harrowing birth of her twin girls at just 22 weeks gestation. She is here with us today to talk about this life changing journey that her family has endured & the subsequent book she has authored, "Not What I had in Mind: A Motherhood Origin Story".

In this episode, you'll hear:

-the beginnings of Laura's lifelong calling to be a writer & creative

-how she has transmuted this vulnerable traumatic series of events of advocating for her micro preemie daughters into a story that will capture your heart, make you laugh out loud (humor is DEFINETLY a natural gift of Laura's ) and feel the gratitude to the one's that get us through the hard times.

-how Laura coped with being thrown into the deep end of literal life or death circumstances of her girl's survival & navigating though the resulting mental health impact herself.

Trusting yourself, your journey & putting your head down to do what you need to do when life throughs you a major curveball.

No doubt her story will connect with the heart of any mother in any circumstance. We all can relate in some way to reality vs expectation of bringing a child into the world. It changes us into leaders we never knew we were going to be & bonds us with a unique empathy for each other. ❤️❤️❤️

It would mean the world, if you shared this episode with a mom in your life!

Please go show Laura & her book some love!
