    Send us a text

    In this episode, I give you a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to manage high-value IT projects — from leading teams and managing budgets to building strong client relationships and navigating constant change.


    I also share a life update (spoiler: gardening brings me joy), reflect on moments of gratitude, and explain how slowing down can make us better leaders.


    You’ll hear real talk on:

    •Skills every PM needs (hint: it’s way more than just meetings)

    •What my days actually look like — from 6:45 AM yoga to 11–4 PM call blocks

    •Busting common myths about project management

    •What it means to be a servant leader in tech

    •Why relationship-building is your most underrated tool

    •Certifications I recommend for aspiring PMs that I obtained


    Whether you’re new to project management, already deep in the trenches, or just curious about how big IT projects really run, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and a whole lot of gratitude.

    This episode is all things personal.

    Laura first discusses the status of Part 2 of the Emotional Rollercoaster Surgery Story.

    Followed by her top 3 CRAZIEST dating stories of 2024.

    What is she up to now? Single? Taken? Sworn off men altogether?

    Amongst a world of cringe male counterparts, frantically fending off a sea of FBE (Fk Boy Energy) she also talks about "King Treatment" and how vital it is we care for and appreciate our men.

    Why have women on the market seemingly lost the ability to care for men the same way they expect to be cared for?

    Why is it all about what women want these days?

    Laura opens up about her struggle with PTSD. How healing from trauma works and what we can expect in healing ourselves.

    And, "since you seem cool," we are also sharing what energy lies ahead for 2025.
