Hi… My name is Laura Orrantia, and I am the founder of The Fear-Less Female.
I have come to believe that one of my purposes on this planet is to inspire, encourage and empower others to fear-LESS. I have been in a tumultuous relationship with fear for most of my life. It comes and goes attempting to scare, undermine and control me. It tries to tell me things like – I’m not good enough, smart enough, strong enough and SO much more. I have tried to run, hide and completely ignore it. But… what I have learned over the years is that I simply need to understand it… and that is what I hope to help you do too…
… speaking of understanding, here are some random facts that may help you to better understand me:
- I am a mother of 3. My youngest daughter is 10, my oldest daughter is 25, and my son is 27 (I was 20 years old when I had him).
- I have been married twice. I have been with my current husband for 14 years.
- I obtained my nursing license in 2011, BSN in 2014 (primarily worked in hospice) and recently became certified as an Integrative Nurse Coach/Holistic Nurse.
- I took care of my mom for 5 years (she had Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinsonism), she passed in August of 2021. My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in January of 2022.
- I’m passionate about health and wellness… I am also passionate about wine, charcuterie boards and Peanut Butter M&Ms.
- My favorite place to visit is my mind. I am a BIG audacious dreamer, and I am currently writing a novel!
- When I was a little girl instead of saying “I’m shy”, I would say “I’m shiny”. I’m still a little “shiny” at times.
- My spirit animal is a turtle.
- One of my favorite quotes is, “What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?”- Erin Hanson. I am thinking of getting “F.L.Y.” (Fear-Less You) tattooed on the inside of my wrist as a reminder to myself.
(That’s me “flying”.)
10. One of my biggest fears is to not at least try.
That is a little about me and I hope I get to learn a little about you. The Fear-Less Female community is a place that encourages us to get to know one another. It is a space created to share our stories because we all have a YOUnique story to share.
Listen… I know life can be scary, but it can be a little less scary when we figure it out together!!!
