The Laura Woodside Weekly Podcast
Conversations from the heart about spirituality, healing, and the things we were told not to question.
I have made millions of pieces of content in my lifetime. For some reason a podcast feels more serious.
So here's what this is.
Unscripted conversations, first draft on purpose, about spirituality outside of organized religion, nervous system regulation, inner child wounds, grief, neurodivergence, and the programming that keeps women in their place.
Some weeks it's me solo, ranting about a topic I can't stop thinking about. Some weeks it's a conversation with someone whose perspective I want you to hear. I'm currently deep in a rabbit hole about ancient texts and pre-Christian religions, so that one is coming soon.
No script. No AI. If you've been living life without feeling especially alive, I think you'll find something here.
New episodes weekly.
Episode 002: The Invisible String: Recovery, Codependency and Co-Parenting With My Ex (Part 1)
This week, my ex Shawn joins me on the mic. He's an incredible dad to our daughter and one of my very best friends... but getting here wasn't easy. We talk about meeting in 2012, loving someone through addiction and relapse, the codependency we built together, and becoming parents in the middle of grief. Most of all, this is a story about how two people who put each other through the wringer found their way to a healthy, loving co-parenting relationship.
Part 2 is coming soon, where we'll share a recent diagnosis Shawn received and how our family is handling it.
