Episode 28: Becoming

Love Lounge — Becoming

What if becoming isn't always about changing who you are?

What if, eventually, becoming is simply allowing more of who you've always been to come forward?

In this episode of Love Lounge, Laura reflects on the quieter side of becoming — the years, choices, private decisions, closed doors, beginnings, endings and unseen work that happen long before anyone else sees the finished thing.

As the final four months of 2026 unfold, Laura is standing at a unique threshold: preparing to run her eighth marathon, turning 60, and releasing her memoir, Raised by Fire, this November.

There's plenty happening around her.

But something at the center isn't moving anymore.

She knows where she stands.

This conversation explores the difference between evolving and constantly reinventing yourself, honoring the rooms that brought you here without needing to return to them, protecting the things that aren't ready to be announced, and trusting that not everything needs witnesses while it's becoming.

And somewhere in the middle, Laura speaks a few intentions over the months ahead — part reflection, part declaration, and maybe just a tiny bit of a spell.

Her angels know the footnotes.

Raised by Fire arrives November 2026.
