Laura Vaisman is a writer, author & mental health advocate. She teaches others that our body is the boss and that the emotions that arise from what we are feeling in our bodies are the greatest gift. She isn’t afraid to share her own journey from healing past traumas & struggles with CPTSD. There’s too much stigma around speaking about one’s mental health, she creates the space for people to express their emotions. It’s her mission to change the way we speak & understand mental health by normalizing human behavior and having a better understanding of the impact of trauma. She’s been writing for over a decade on her former travel blog (Traveling Jersey Girl) and published two books, Spiritual Nomad: A Journey Within and Abroad & her new book Penny Panic, an anxiety book for teens to learn how to use coping skills to manage their anxiety. She tells others that inner work and healing your traumas is hard work but it can be done. Healing can be messy, beautiful, and sometimes all at the same time.
