Listen as Terey flips the table and she becomes the host to launch the first taping that took place in a studio in Phoenix in May where Laurie let the pro show her how it’s done!

Judy Schenk has been a friend of Laurie’s for close to three decades, and has helped guide her professionally and personally (master’s Degree in Organizational Management, Certified Professional Coach) as an architect of change, leading in the direction of positive and lasting change. Ten years ago, after a strategic session, Laurie walked away with this personal mandate: Reveal the real. Embrace the possible. Find the humor. A lot has changed over the past ten years, but that remains true. Laurie calls this episode a prologue because Judy helps her look at where she’s been, where she is and where she’s going. Join Laurie as she discovers a new way of looking at all three.
Why a Podcast?
Laurie is a storyteller – her life experiences have captivated people in her autobiographical musical, book, and everyday conversations for decades because she is relatable. Plus, she has been described as having the best smile and an infectious laugh. Her perspective is fresh and uplifting, yet realistically truthful. And faith is the foundation of her entire life, integrated throughout every day. So, when a friend recommends that she do a podcast, a new dream emerges.
Laurie’s first experience writing a book required her to sequester herself in a hotel room to relive all the tough times so the emotion of the experience and words on the page were in sync. It was mostly a singular journey. But the trials covered in the second book will be different. These were years of a journey filled with people who had shared experiences, a common bond, and a mutual respect and understanding. Sharing the podcast microphone with others is purposeful. Hearing the laughs, likely shedding some tears, and just talking about memories will allow Laurie to then write chapters for book #2 after the podcast episodes air. The listening audience will already be on the journey with her, catching glimpses of what's to come.
