In this deeply honest episode of Repurpose Journey, Laura invites you into a tender reflection stirred by another year of life—and the quiet fears that came with it. This isn’t a checklist of tips or perfectly packaged advice. It’s a heart-to-heart. A conversation about what it feels like to carry the weight of chronic illness through the years, to wonder what the next chapter will look like, and to wrestle with the unknowns that don’t always come with tidy answers.

Laura opens up about navigating life with Ménière’s Disease, managing migraines, and what it means to live with a “what if” whisper that never really goes away. But woven into the grief and fear is something else—gratitude, beauty, and hope. Because even in the fog, there’s purpose. Even in the in-between, there’s love that stays.

If you’ve ever found yourself holding joy and pain in the same breath, or wondering if your story still has room for dreams, this episode is for you. Laura shares the “why” behind Repurpose Journey and reminds you that no matter where you’re starting from, you’re not alone—and your story still matters.
