"I think many people find making eco-changes hard. It's like we know we have to and we SHOULD but I love how she helps me and my community connect with the WHY. The honest truth is there are stacks of changes I need to make, but Laura never makes me feel bad about that - instead she provides easy, simple actions to take. She is a guest in Small Steps to Wholefoods because I LOVE picking her brain and she relates so beautifully with my audience - who all want to take small steps to improve the health and wellbeing of their families. Thank you Laura for the awesome conversations that always leave me feeling empowered and NOT overwhelmed!"
