Are you ready to stop agonizing over the motherhood decision?
You’ve been stuck in the "Maybe" zone for long enough.
Take this 3-minute assessment to understand the hidden fears keeping you from a whole-hearted answer.
Is your internal monologue stuck on repeat?
What if my career, independence, and spontaneous Saturdays just disappear from my life when I become a mother?
What if all the “invisible” labor of childcare falls on me?
Will my relationship survive the seismic changes of a child?
Do I choose my career today, or my fertility three years from now?
What if I take the plunge and realize I don't actually like being a mother?
It feels like you're wasting time and your precious life energy in an endless cycle of "what ifs" and “not-quite”. You feel stuck, while the ticking biological clock only gets louder.
What can you do?
A decision as profound, complex and individual as motherhood can't be solved with a simple pro/con list, reading endless Reddit posts, or looking at your friends’ happy Instagram.
What you need is a discovery journey that honors both your deepest feelings and your practical realities. My 10-week, 2-stage Motherhood Decision program is designed to do exactly this. Together, we'll move towards a whole-hearted answer that brings you lasting peace and joy.
My Story
Hello, I’m Laura.
I know what it’s like to be a high-achieving woman considering motherhood. I was exactly where you are, right now.
For 7 years, I was in the high-stakes environment of top-tier strategy consulting, managing teams at McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group. I was surrounded by brilliant, ambitious women who tackle the thorniest problems of the world. Yet, the most profound personal decision of our lives - whether or not to become a mother - was discussed only in hushed tones, or not at all.
My own journey through this decision was the same - lonely and full of guesswork. Now looking back on the other side of the decision (my daughter is 3 now), there were countless moments when I thought to myself “I wish someone has told me this!”
This became my professional calling. For the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of helping 170+ clients navigate motherhood as a career coach and organizer of mother support groups.
My Approach
I’ve realized that high-achievers like you don't need more "advice". You need
A structured process to break down a super complex problem to uncover your own truth
Unfiltered information about what becoming a mother is actually like in 1 year, 5 years and 10 years
A safe and dedicated space in your busy life to test out hesitations and voice "taboo" worries with zero commitment and total privacy
In other words, you need a combination of world-class problem solving + support for deep emotional exploration.
That’s what I want to offer to you.
