The Journey of Becoming: Embracing New Season of Life with Laura Ard

I want to introduce you to someone who embodies resilience, courage, and an unshakable belief in the power of becoming—Laura Ard. Her voice carries a depth that’s impossible to ignore, and her story is one of growth, transformation, and faith. She’s a reminder that no matter where you are in life, it’s never too late to step into something new.

Laura calls herself a preacher’s kid—a label that shaped much of her identity growing up. But as life unfolded, Laura realized that we are not defined solely by where we’ve come from. At 50, with encouragement from her husband and her community, she ventured into the world of podcasting. It was an intimidating leap into unfamiliar territory, but Laura embraced the discomfort. Today, she not only shares her voice with the world but also helps countless women find theirs through podcast coaching. Her joy doesn’t just come from what she’s created but from empowering others to step out of fear and into possibility.

What struck me most about Laura’s story is her openness to becoming. She describes life as a series of roles—child, teenager, spouse, mother—each one bringing its own challenges and lessons. But she also highlights the courage it takes to shift when those roles change. Children leave, careers pivot, and the life you once knew begins to look unfamiliar. At 62, Laura speaks with wisdom about this phase of life. She reminds us that aging isn’t about lost youth but a new chapter filled with opportunity and strength, if we’re willing to see it that way.

Laura’s story is proof that we’re not meant to stay the same. We are constantly evolving, and that evolution requires courage—a courage that isn’t about grand gestures but about the small, deliberate steps we take every day. It’s about asking yourself, “What fills me up? What can I no longer ignore?” and leaning into that.

So, here’s the real question for you: Are you willing to let go of the expectations placed on you by others—or even by yourself—and embrace the next best step in your journey? Life doesn’t require us to have everything figured out, but it does require us to listen to that persistent nudge within. As Laura shows us, when we surrender to that nudge, even later in life, we uncover new opportunities, fresh strength, and purpose that lights us from the inside out.
