You've built something real. You've thrown money at coaches, courses, and tools - desperately searching for the magic bullet that finally unlocks the next level.
But here's what no one tells you:
The breakthrough isn't in another strategy.
It's in rebuilding the capacity and self-trust you lost along the way.

Hi, I'm Laura.
Also known as The Freedom Strategist.
I turned a bankrupt company into a multi 7-figure exit as CFO/COO, then healed myself from crippling anxiety to build the freedom business I actually wanted, where I led a few more multi 7-figure exits!
Now I help founders break revenue ceilings and scale without burnout using The Freedom Formula™: Strategy + Energy + Mindset.
Here's what most business coaches won't tell you:
Your business can't outperform your internal capacity.
You can have perfect strategy, the right offer, and a hungry market - but if you're operating at 40% of your actual capacity because you learned somewhere along the way that it wasn't safe to be fully expressed, you'll plateau.
This is why you've hit the same revenue ceiling three times.
This is why you're exhausted even when revenue is growing.
This is why you've built a prison instead of freedom.
I work at the intersection of finance-brain strategy (25+ years as CFO/COO) and deep energetic transformation (The Capacity Code - my method for unlocking suppressed capacity in 4 minutes).
Along the way, I've helped clients:
→ Break through to their first £20k+ months after years stuck at £10k
→ Double revenue while working fewer hours
→ 5x revenue and break the £30k/month ceiling to consistently hit £160k/month
→ Increase profit margins by 200%
→ Clear emotional blocks that have held them back for decades - in 4 minutes
→ Rebuild self-trust so they can make decisions with confidence
The kicker?
Most of them already knew what to do.
They just didn't trust themselves enough to do it.
Sound familiar?

You don't have a strategy problem. You have a capacity problem.
And it's costing you everything.
You're stuck at the same revenue level - £50k, £100k, £300k, £500k - no matter how hard you work.
You invest in coaches, tools, and programs, hoping this one will be different.
But the ROI never comes because you're operating at a fraction of your actual capacity - suppressing your power, hiding your full expression, self-sabotaging before you even realize you're doing it.
You overthink every decision. You hide instead of selling. You work yourself into burnout on the wrong things while avoiding the one thing that would actually move the needle.
Or maybe you've scaled to £500k+ and you're the bottleneck.
You're the only one who can sell. The only one who can deliver. The only one clients trust.
Your team exists, but they can't do what you do - so you're still working 60-hour weeks and your business can't scale without you burning out.
Here's the truth:
→ At £50k-£100k? You're hiding. You know you need to be visible, make offers, and sell - but you can't make yourself do it consistently because it doesn't feel safe.
→ At £100k-£300k? You're stuck in feast-famine cycles because you don't trust your strategy enough to stick with it long enough to work.
→ At £300k-£500k? You're working harder than ever but can't break through because you're still operating like a solopreneur, not a CEO.
→ At £500k+? You're the bottleneck. Your business can't grow past you because you haven't built the energetic capacity, team, systems, or trust to let go.
Nodding along?
Your business isn't broken. You've just outgrown the version of yourself you're operating from.
The strategies you need are simple. But without self-trust, clarity, and the energetic capacity to execute, even the best plan falls apart.
That's where I come in.

The Freedom Formula™: Strategy + Energy + Mindset = Freedom
I don't do surface-level mindset work. And I don't give you complicated strategies that look good on paper but feel impossible to execute.
Instead, we work on all three at once - the strategy, the energy, and the mindset - so you can finally:
✓ Break through the revenue ceiling you've hit multiple times
✓ Stop being the bottleneck in your own business
✓ Expand your capacity to receive, scale, and sustain
✓ Clear the energetic and strategic blocks keeping you stuck
✓ Build a business that gives you freedom - not another prison
Here's how The Freedom Formula works:
STRATEGY:
Get radically clear on what truly matters to you and where you really want to go.
Understand what's actually keeping you stuck - not what you think it is, but what's sitting a layer deeper.
Build the business strategy, revenue plan, and decision-making framework that creates sustainable growth.
This is where we address:
→ Clear offers that sell themselves
→ Marketing that works while you sleep
→ Sales processes you can hand off
→ Team structures that actually support scale
→ Systems that let you step back without everything falling apart
Finance brain meets strategic clarity.
MINDSET:
Rebuild self-trust so you can make decisions without spiraling, second-guessing, or hiding.
So you can:
→ Share your thoughts without overthinking it for 3 hours
→ Make offers without worrying what people will think
→ Follow up without feeling pushy
→ Trust your gut instead of polling 47 people before you do anything
→ Not lie there at 2am, mentally going through your to-do list and cash flow forecast
→ Back yourself - even when it's uncomfortable
→ Be the leader your team needs to thrive and excel at their roles
This is where you stop dimming yourself and start operating as the founder you actually are.
ENERGY:
Expand your energetic capacity to handle bigger numbers, more visibility, and rapid growth without freaking out.
We don't need to talk about your blocks for weeks on end.
I use The Capacity Code™ - my energy-clearing method that clears blocks you've carried for decades in 4 minutes.
Not 4 years. 4 minutes.
Your breakthrough doesn't need to take forever.
This is where we address:
→ Why you can't receive (money, support, abundance)
→ Why you burn out even when revenue is growing
→ Why you don't keep profit
→ Why you sabotage yourself right before the breakthrough
We work through The 4 Movements:
RECEIVING - Opening to abundance, support, and revenue
EXPENDING - Investing strategically instead of burning out
ACCUMULATING - Building reserves and keeping profit
LETTING GO - Releasing what's blocking your next level
Energetic capacity meets sustainable business growth.
The result?
A business that feels like freedom - not a prison you've built for yourself.
