 Podcast Booking Brief
Author · Entrepreneur · Endurance Athlete
It’s about what becomes possible when you stop letting survival author the rest of your life.
At 59, She Moved to New York City.
This November, She’ll Run the NYC Marathon,
Turn 60—and Finally Tell the Story Beneath the Photographs.Â
Twenty-five years ago, Laura Doughty sold everything, packed her car and her cat Sam, and went to Malibu with no job, no friends, and no one waiting for her.
She built a spa. A real estate business. A visible life.
At nearly 60, she packed up again and moved to New York City—not to start over, but to finally tell the real story beneath the photographs.
We talk now about the gap between social media and real life. For Laura, that gap existed long before social media had a name. The photographs showed the public life: childhood, ambition, Malibu, businesses, achievement. What they could not show was the private balancing act underneath it. Raised by Fire tells that story

Laura is available to speak about:
- The November Threshold: Turning 60, running the NYC Marathon, and launching a memoir in a 20-day window. Why women do not age out of ambition or endurance.Â
- Sovereignty Over Survival: How to transition from a life run on pure survival adrenaline to one anchored in presence and personal authority.Â
- The Story Beneath the Photographs: Dismantling the gap between a polished, successful public life and an invisible personal history.Â
- The Power of Radical Grace: How to write and speak your absolute truth without performing pain, casting blame, or turning your narrative into an indictment.Â
- Grounded Nervous System Healing: The intensive, physical reality of rewiring your body and mind after being the designated family scapegoat.
- The Multi-Hyphenate Agent: How to treat a slow, shifting real estate market as an operational window to build intellectual property, scale your physical endurance, and de-risk your identity so your bank account isn’t your only source of sovereignty.
