2 ways to get your magic back — or bring it out in the 1st place
|
Hey! Since I got back from Greece, I’ve been very busy…planning the next trip to Greece. I’m obsessed. I can’t explain it in any way that doesn’t sound hackneyed — being in that water makes me feel alive. Is it a water-sign thing (Scorpio)? A back-in-the-womb thing? Actually, scratch that. I’m now picturing a trauma-healing water ritual they did on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip (RHONY Legacy) where the women were each cradled by a practitioner while floating like fetuses in their bikinis. I don’t need to see Luann experiencing a rebirth or Kelly Bensimon getting horny. Stick to throwing wine, please. What I was getting to is, in the waters of Shrimp Club, my Mastermind/Live Mentoring Party, members often find their magic emerging — or returning. Quotes from 2026 members: “I finally feel my creativity and confidence coming back online.” “In just a year’s time, my worldview and sense of myself have changed so much.” “Shrimp Club has been an anchor [water metaphor!] for me to be more me and explore who I am.” If you’ve felt a wistful tug lately to get back to yourself and reignite your creative spark and/or business mojo, Shrimp Club is where that happens. Come get in the water with us. We kick off on October 13th, and enrollment closes next Friday. See details and honest reviews and apply here. I promised two ways to bring out your magic, though, didn’t I? Here’s the other — and, very much unlike Shrimp Club, it’ll cost you $0: Let’s write together on Wednesday! Join me in a free, Shrimpers-only session of Terri Trespicio’s New Rules Studio, a live drop-in program that’s like Peloton for writing. Originally, this session was going to be just for those who enrolled in Studio during a recent promotion. They’re still the ones who’ll get to read their work out loud for feedback, guaranteed. But making magic is guaranteed for all. Sign up here: Shrimpers-Only Studio Writing Sesh And, once more, check out the details for Shrimp Club here. This may well be the last round, so if you’ve been saying for years that you’ll take the leap “one of these days,” I’d choose this one: today. xoLaura Let’s close this out with some water p0rn.

Thank you for reading and sharing, |

Hey! To paraphrase a TV commercial for Automobile Club of America that my husband loves to quote, “Brenna McGowan, did you have to be that good?” Here’s why: Because I promoted my friend and Shrimp Club alum Brenna’s Pre-Launch Plan Program (PPP) last round, I thought I’d make life easy and repurpose a March email telling you doors are open. Just when I was about to do that, Brenna sent me some new results that blow away the ones I cited last time. Dammit, Brenna! They come from her client...
Hey, so, I went to the DMV yesterday to renew and upgrade my driver’s license. I was nearly as nervous walking into License Express on West 30th Street as I am before I get mic’d to go onstage before 1500 people. A Real ID was the goal so I could use it for domestic flights instead of my unwieldy passport that somehow NEVER opens to the photo page, but not worth sweating. The urgent part is that my license is about to expire — and if it does, I’ll have to take the driver’s test again. Despite...
Hey! Next Weds, my friend Terri Trespicio, who founded and runs the New Rules Studio AKA “Studio” — like Peloton for writing — is hosting a special session with me for my Shrimpers. Originally, it was going to be just for those who’d joined Studio during a recent promotion. They’re still the ones who’ll get to read their work out loud for feedback*, guaranteed. But Terri and I decided it would be extra fun to open up the group to allll my Shrimpers, for free. So, whether you’re an OG member...
