Laura Fenamore became a leader on the transformational movement because she passionately believes that anything is possible, that no matter how trapped or powerless a person might feel, it is what they do, that will set them free. Laura believes that each of us has the right to a radical life shift every single day. Hers began when she understood that the only person who could truly love her, was Laura. Although neglected and abused as a child, she saw clearly that the rest of her life could be used to love and take care of herself – and to inspire others to do the same. “I am not saying that other people cannot love us, they often do. I am simply observing that a person without self love is like a hidden treasure. You cannot see or feel the miracle you are, even when others adore you and want the best for you. Who you are is locked away in some Tower or buried under years of pain and self loathing.” –Laura Fenamore If you’re ready for a Radical Shift – more than ready – reach out to Laura at 415-464-1234 or laura@laurafenamore.com and begin to talk about where to find one and how to open your arms wide for the possibilities and hope locked inside you. Like Laura often shares, “Those bars that imprison you are, after all, only an illusion.” www.laurafenamore.com 415-464-1234 Laura@LauraFenamore.com
One of the many pearls of wisdom that we are handed as children (along with share, be nice, and don’t run in the hallway) is, “forgive and forget.” And while the simple, beautiful wisdom in this is definitely easier said than done, it can feel almost impossible for us to apply it when it comes to ourselves.

Here are three simple truths that can change your life – your body – and your health. You might think the order should be body, health and life, right? Nope. That’s why most people can’t lose weigh or then gain it back. We’ve got the order wrong. So start with these simple truths:
1. You are not a failure. (more…)
Although an important goal my goal in life is to avoid offending others, after I lost 100 pounds 20 plus years ago, I found a button in a novelty store in San Francisco that read, “Eat, Drink and Be A Big Fat Drunk.” I wore it with pride for many years after that every holiday season. (more…)

For some, having a happy holiday may as well be called, “fat chance.” It seems that no matter how hard we work to insulate ourselves against the issues of our childhood and the home and family who reared us, the tunnel from Thanksgiving to New Years is a mine field loaded with hidden traps, double agents and slim chance of survival without self-destructing or ripping open old wounds and old injuries.

What’s more painful than chronic physical pain? The pain that lives inside, that’s what. Can you imagine being 100 pounds overweight and living with all of the stares, comments and agony that goes along with that? The inability to buy a beautiful dress, or the fear that now goes with flying on an airplane? Now can you imagine losing that weight, and still coming up short? Still feeling, deep inside, that you were not good enough. Never believing, for more than a few moments at a time, that you were beautiful and valuable. (more…)
Our bodies are magnificent instruments. Almost without any effort they operate day after day, year after year. They digest, they move, they smell, they feel and they breath. The air we breath. There is nothing in life as simple and as profound as the air we breath. The average person could probably live four to six weeks without food and an average of ten days without water. But air. Air is a completely different story. (more…)
Probably the hardest thing that we deal with in our lives is doubt. Oh sure, we go through enormously difficult situations - we lose jobs, we lose loved ones, we get sick, the list of hardships can be mind boggling.
But doubt is probably the most difficult hardship to conquer. It can literally come from nowhere and can feel like the snake in the garden, winding itself sneakily through our joys and our confidences. It can attach itself to our best relationships and undermine our finest moments. [Click Title for more…]

I love my breasts! I can say that with pride today.
That wasn’t always the case though.
I can honestly say I hated my breasts for many years. I hated them. And I have come full circle. I love them now.
As almost all of the world’s population knows, September 11th, 2008 marked the 7th anniversary of the fall of the Twin Towers. After many years of living in California, I happened to be home visiting my family in New York City when 9/11 happened. The shock of losing so many souls only a few miles away from where I was standing that morning took my breath away.
Seven years later, it’s still a healing in progress for many of us. Indeed, the scar that the towers falling left is only starting to heal as the foundation of the new Freedom Tower is laid out.
