Author | Speaker | Carnivore with a mission I’m Laura, mother of two, married to a former professional footballer, and someone who has always taken the road less traveled.
In 2012, we left the Netherlands with a tiny 3-week-old preemie and landed in the U.S., chasing dreams and carrying only one thing for sure: trust in each other. From Texas to New York, Wisconsin to Georgia, we built our own version of life, far away from expectations.
Nearly a decade later, we returned to the Netherlands. Not because we had to, but because life took a turn, loss, grief, responsibility. I picked up the pieces, became the provider, found strength in chaos… and a job you don’t apply for, you earn. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that shaped my next chapter. That chapter included a health crash, and a radical transformation through lifestyle and nutrition. I found power in simplicity, energy in animal-based eating, and joy in the quiet act of rebuilding. Now I write, not because I claim to know the truth, but because this is my experience. Raw. Unpolished. And real.
My mission is simple: to inspire through honesty, humor, and the kind of strength that comes from falling hard and rising anyway. “This isn’t the truth. It’s my experience. And it’s taught me more than any script ever could.”
