Following Your Intuition: A Candid Conversation with School Psychologist and Life Coach Laura Flowers

In this episode of Life’s Next Lesson Plan, I sit down with Laura Flowers, a former school psychologist turned life coach and Reiki master. Laura and I connected through a podcasting group, and I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on her show, Rediscovering You. Like me, she’s passionate about helping people navigate crossroads, reconnect with their values, and live authentically.

After 18 years in education, Laura found herself at a breaking point—disconnected from her purpose and feeling like she was doing the work, but not the right work. She made a bold decision to step away, investing in herself, energy healing, and personal growth. Now, she helps women stop playing small and start living with confidence, alignment, and purpose.

🔍 In This Episode, We Discuss:

• The funniest (and most awkward) questions middle schoolers have ever asked her
• Why she knew her time in education was coming to an end
• The tipping point in public education—larger class sizes, dwindling support, and the teacher shortage crisis
• How teachers are questioning their long-term future in education
• Her transition to life coaching and Reiki, and how she helps women rediscover their passions
• The importance of listening to your intuition and how journaling can help
