Laura Young on leaving the Garda, Starting fresh & Mental Wellbeing

This week on Shake the Ground, Nathalie is joined by Laura Young (lauras_views) for a powerful conversation about confidence, mental wellbeing, identity and having the courage to start again. After spending almost 15 years as a Garda, Laura made the life-changing decision to walk away from a career that had shaped so much of who she was, choosing herself and a completely new path. They talk about the pressure of living up to expectations, the toll of stress and trauma, rebuilding your confidence, and why sometimes the bravest thing you can do is begin again. They also dive into the influencing world & have plenty of laughs along the way! This is an honest, fun & inspiring conversation about trusting yourself. If you’ve ever felt stuck, or afraid to make a change, this episode is for you!
