From Fairways to Storytelling Highways

Hey there! I'm Laura Andrew, one half of the dynamic duo behind Stories from Home. If you're looking for the style guru of our partnership, that's Becca (though I do rock a cute outfit when the mood strikes). Me? I'm the one who'll challenge you to a trail run, geek out over psychology, and probably buy us matching notebooks "just because."

The Unexpected Journey

As an 18-year-old English champion golfer, I was swinging my way to a scholarship at the University of Iowa, chasing my dreams across the pond. As an undergrad, I drank in everything I could, from my classes in journalism, psychology, creative writing and entrepreneurship, to the French vanilla coffee and insanely good smoothies.

Little did I know that this US adventure would set the stage for a life dedicated to unearthing stories and illuminating brilliance in others.

The Laura Lowdown

Mum to Tess (10), Travis (12) and our spaniel Scout, imperfectly juggling motherhood alongside business ownership
Give me trees, mountains or time by the lake any day. Just don't ask me to climb too high - heights and I have a complicated relationship
Trail running is my thing. I'll tackle any distance when I get the chance but please don't put me in charge of the map
With a book-buying habit that borders on obsession, I love to learn. Although my bedside table looks like a mini-library exploded
I live for deep, meaningful chats. Small talk? Not so much
An impatient optimist, I want results yesterday, but I've learned (the hard way) that good things take time

MY SUPERPOWER

I have an uncanny ability to unearth not just who you are, but the deeper *why* behind what you do. Think of me as your personal story archaeologist, digging deep to discover the hidden gems in your narrative.

With a background in communications, strategy and copywriting, I bring more than just pretty words to the table. I bring a 360-degree perspective on your business, fuelled by a deeply rooted sense of purpose (and maybe a little too much tea).

WHAT SETS ME APART

BFF Energy with a high kick: I'm not here to just cheerlead from the sidelines, I'm rolling up my sleeves and jumping into the trenches with you.
Visionary and Implementer: I don't just dream big - I make those dreams happen, with practical strategies and actionable steps.
Tenacity in Spades: Roadblocks? Doubters? Bring 'em on. I've got the grit (and the strategies) to help you navigate any obstacle.
