How We Achieve Our Dreams

Published on: 20th September, 2020

Laura’s eary life involved bullying, abuse and bankruptcy and culminated in burnout. But at the age of 19, she still managed to create, build and run the award-winning marketing company, Vision Advertising. She was a 40 Under 40 winner at only 23! She continued as CEO of Vision Advertising with major success until 2018, when she turned over active control to her successor and retired, at only 37! 

Since retirement, she has learned the formula to build a life of joy and now follows her passion to share this message with others. Her belief is that by recognizing and turning these six characteristics into habits...actions done completely on autopilot every day...you will gain mastery over your life and achieve true happiness. She explains all in  her book, "The Six Habits, Practical Tools for Bringing Your Dreams to Life."

Laura now lives in tropical bliss with her husband and pets on the island of Maui.

About the Podcast

Beyond Retirement
What really happens after retirement?

If you’re approaching retirement—or already there—and wondering what now?, you’re not alone. The world is full of financial advice for retirement, but there’s far less about how to actually live a fulfilling life once the 9-to-5 ends.

Beyond Retirement is the podcast that explores what comes after the career chapter. Whether your retirement was planned or unexpected, joyful or jarring, you’ll find real stories, honest conversations, and practical inspiration here.

Join host Jacquie Doucette as she shares her own journey and speaks with people who’ve reimagined life after work—some fully retired, some shifting gears, and all discovering new meaning in this next stage. From finding purpose to building community, embracing play, and navigating change, we’ll explore how to create a life that truly fits.

Because retirement isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning.

Let’s figure out what comes next, together.
