Meet Laura:
As Girlboss’ marketing head, she’s busy: The brand has a podcast, a newsletter, a job board, and marketplace curated with female-foudned brands. But she’s more than her 9-5. “Activities and interests outside of work are crucial to recharge the batteries and ensure that your career doesn’t define you,” she tells us.
Outside of promoting incredible brands and inspiring women to find success on their own terms, she loves to garden, play outdoors (she lives at the base of a mountain in British Columbia), chef up meals on an open fire, and create astrology birth charts for her friends.
About Girlboss: A purpose-driven media company that exists to amplify women’s voices and issues and help women navigate the future of work and life while sparking the thrill of possibility.
They’re 50% career coach, 50% friend, and 100% committed to engaging their audience through meaningful, impactful content that informs, inspires, and empowers.
Laura’s Diary
$70 Upright Posture Trainer
Upright Go 2 | Earn 350 Ness Card Points1
“This one is for all my desk job girlies out there. A little support to keep my head held high for years to come is a no-brainer investment! This has been recommended to me by my chiropractor over a brace because it actually helps BUILD the muscles rather than making them dependent on something else. I count this as a long-term play for healthy body alignment.”
$329 Qure Light Therapy Mask
LED Light Therapy Mask | Earn 1645 Ness Card Points
“Light therapy kinda makes me feel like I am tapping into the Matrix, ha! It’s such a revolutionary way to take care of our skin and I am all about trying new things. I am in my mid-30s and I know this is a crucial time to keep my skin retaining its youthful resiliency for years to come.”

Quality is high, intention is even higher. I love the body confidence campaigns and everything about this company!”
$108 Halfmoon Restorative Yoga Bolster
Essential Cotton Restorative Yoga Bolster | Earn 540 Ness Card Points
“Essential yogi supply. I use a bolster to open up my tight chest muscles, to lie in the world’s best savasana, and to prop myself up when I am sitting on the floor to remove back and buttock pain. Once you have your own bolster at home you will never look back!”
$35 Joy-a-Toes Toe Separators
Toe Separators | Earn 175 Ness Card Points
“Give those toes some love! I have noticed over the years that all the different shoes I have crammed my feet into have started to smoosh my little toesies together. Stretching them out for just a few minutes a day feels like such a relief.”
$66 Carpe Antiperspirant Bundle
Groin Powder and Face Primer | Earn 330 Ness Card Points
“I am a woman who definitely ‘glows’ in the summer, which can lead to embarrassing patio sessions. Carpe’s antiperspirant set will let me soak up the sun in peace.”

A Deck of Wander – Spectacular Hikes Around Southern BC | Earn 48 Ness Card Points
