What does having it all look like for a Generation X woman who owns her own PR firm, keynotes various events across the country, hosts The Carearing podcast, is recently divorced and a mother of two? Ask Laurie Halter on any given day and she will answer differently. For her, having it all is about making conscious choices and prioritizing aspects of her life during various seasons.

This healthy mindset has escalated her success as a female business owner in a male dominated and sometimes misogynistic industry.

Listen as Laurie shares what it’s like, post-divorce to spend her first Christmas without her kids, how she handled the vulgar comments from an auto exec and why gratitude and reflection are the path to personal growth.

In this episode we’re talking about…

  • How using gratitude changes your life
  • How business does not work for the modern day family and the changes we want to see in the workplace including flexibility, opportunities for more women and minority in senior roles and women pulling more women up
  • Why we can’t do it all at the same time, instead pick a priority for this season of your life
  • Why we all need to create a personal brand and stand for it
  • Build your mission statement by looking at your daily gratitude, goals for the year and you’ll see a pattern emerge of what makes your life feel fulfilling, build your mission statement from there
  • Refuse to give into ageism
  • When you are going through a rough time let yourself be sad instead of trying to muscle through it
  • “The next two decades are about being fully in our power and kicking ass – it’s just starting!”
