Build a life worth living.

This is my corner of the internet for anyone ready to live more honestly, create more freely, and rewrite the rules.

Hi, I’m Laura.

In 2024, I left behind my six-figure corporate job and my apartment in Fort Lauderdale, donated most of my belongings, and moved to Italy.

After 35 years of playing by the rules and following the expected path, I started over and finally decided to live life on my own terms. While it isn’t always easy, I’ve never been happier.

By sharing my journey, I hope to inspire others to take a chance on their wildest dreams.

My Story

One size doesn’t fit all, so why are we living life like it does?

I’m here to forge my own path and live in a way that is authentically me.

What kind of stuff you’ll find here

Musings on Life

I spent so long questioning why I followed all the rules only to not feel fulfilled. I think too many of us wake up midlife in the midst of a crisis, and I want to chronicle my journey to avoid that fate.

Expat Stories

Starting over in a brand-new country where you don’t speak the language is tough and hilarious and exhilarating. Tag along on my adventures navigating life in Italy as a South Floridian.

Passion Projects

You know those things you loved doing as a kid but have completely forgotten about or don’t have time for anymore? I’m trying to figure out how to make them a regular part of my life again.

Personal Development

Why shouldn’t we all strive to be the best version of ourselves? I’m trying to get into the best shape of my life, define my personal style, and use tools like books, astrology, and AI to identify my purpose.

Playlists

Music is probably my biggest passion in life, and I absolutely love discovering and sharing new songs and artists, so I’ll be sharing curated playlists whenever the mood strikes!

Tips + Recommendations

I’m not a fan of gate keeping. When I love something, I shout it from the rooftops. In addition to music recommendations, check out my resources page as well as my blog for all my best life hacks.
