We've all heard that life’s constants are death and taxes—but what if the truest constant is change? In this powerful, soul-stirring reflection, Laura shares how a recent trip to wild, unpredictable Alaska inspired a major shift in her life, values, and online presence. Using the timeless wisdom of The Velveteen Rabbit, she asks: What does it truly mean to be real? And how do we reclaim authenticity in a world full of noise, masks, and curated identities?

This is not just an update—it's a call to community, self-reliance, and deep, unfiltered connection. If you're ready to shed pretense, love more deeply, live more mindfully, and build something real with others who value integrity over image—press play.

Join the journey. Stay wild. Become real.
