Laurie has experienced more change than many of us could ever imagine. She left a senior position at Cameco to accept a job at UEX as their Vice President of Corporate Relations.
During the beginning stages of working at her new job, tragedy struck. Her son, Evan Thomas, lost his life in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in 2018. An unbearable loss for Laurie, her husband, and their daughter.
After the crash, she was let go from her job. Still reeling from her grief, she learned that she needed to give herself more space to heal from the tragedy of losing her son. Laurie talks about her grieving process, losing her job, and how sometimes we have to put our ego aside and ask for help.
