Laura discusses her practice of animism, which is a reverence for all things and the belief that everything is connected, alive, and sacred. She explains how her upbringing in an animist culture shaped her belief system and her work in trauma healing. Laura emphasizes the importance of diving into the dark and painful past in order to unlock our true selves and lead vibrant and healthy lives. She also discusses the concept of shadow work, which involves exploring the parts of ourselves that we are blind to or ashamed of.
