Laura Cowles

I previously worked as a U.S. operations manager for a law firm, but my life took an unexpected turn when I developed transverse myelitis, a serious condition similar to MS that was caused by work-related stress. The experience was devastating, especially when I was fired after trying to return to work. This difficult journey has inspired me to completely shift my career path. I'm now transitioning into the holistic and wellness world with a mission to bring awareness to people about the damaging factors of corporate America and what it does to your health. I know firsthand that a lot of people get really sick from stress, and corporate jobs often don't allow you to take care of yourself. I'm currently writing a book about my experience and planning to launch podcasts to share my story and help others. My ultimate goal is to open up a wellness center where I can offer coaching and support to help people avoid the health crisis I went through.
