Heavenly Human
Welcome to the Heavenly Human podcast where we help you pause and pivot toward true fulfillment.
Have you ever felt that stirring deep inside — that quiet voice telling you there's something more for your life? That feeling that despite all your success, something still feels missing?
We’ve been there. We are you. Three years ago, co-host Laura King was at the peak of her career as an Executive Recruiter. On paper, she had it all. Awards, accolades, and a healthy bank account. But each night, she’d come home feeling slightly off, a bit disconnected, and wondering, "Is this it?"
In 2023, it all came crashing down with a triple diagnosis - severe anxiety, ADHD, and sleep issues. Her body was screaming what her heart had been whispering for years. There was another path. There was another way of being.
Co-host Mondo experienced a similar calling. Three years ago, he was living what many would consider the dream — a successful startup founder with a six-figure lifestyle. Then, his heart called him to something radical: surrendering 99% of his material possessions to pursue a completely different path.
What Laura and Mondo both discovered through deep conversations, healing, tears, breakthroughs, and countless moments of growth was that we were being called to our unique sliver of Heaven on Earth — what we now call, Heavenly Human.
We've now joined forces to create this podcast, sharing what we've learned with other believers who feel that same nudge toward something more meaningful. We're here to guide you toward fulfillment through the embodiment of heaven on earth.
Peace, Love, Joy, Freedom, Abundance.
It’s all waiting for you.
"Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

Stop accepting "fine"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful, no-holds-barred episode, I'm getting real about the epidemic of what I call "high-functioning misalignment" – that state where you're achieving by all external measures but feeling disconnected, exhausted, and wondering why success doesn't feel like you thought it would. Drawing from my own journey from absolute misery to genuine alignment, I share what's possible when you refuse to accept "fine" as your standard.

Welcome and Personal Reflection
Speaker 1Hey , it's Laura and welcome to this week's Peak of the Week . You know we are going to get a little real this week because I'm feeling a little I don't know , I don't want to say feisty , confident , just excited . Coming off the heels of the Shine Brighter release party and just all the momentum behind it , and I just know the place I was at two years ago was just absolute misery , feeling so awful like there was no escape . My life was just , it was awful Like I I can't it's hard to find the words to describe other than disconnected , not present just I couldn't see light out of the tunnel . And so this is an email that's literally going out to about a thousand people tomorrow and I figured you know what . You're going to hear it , you're going to hear it . You're going to hear it just like I would say it to a friend . Forgive me , but I'm going to be direct with this one .
Speaker 1You wouldn't drive your car for months with the gas light on , wondering why it keeps sputtering . You wouldn't keep using a phone that dies at 20% battery and call it normal . You wouldn't live in a house where the electricity only worked some of the time . So why do some people go through the motions and accept a life that feels drained .
High-Functioning Misalignment Explained
Speaker 1Here's what I see happening in more places than I'd like to admit Brilliant , capable people who have convinced themselves that Sunday night , sunday night scary Sunday night dread is normal , that working through every vacation is just part of success , that feeling disconnected from their own family at dinner is the price that they have to pay for achievement . You know what that is . That's not success , that's high functioning misalignment , and it's only going to get worse unless something changes . I share this because I was this and here's what I know after working with hundreds of high achievers . There are two types of people in this world the ones who feel that quiet ache of misalignment and think this is just how life is , and the ones who feel it and say I refuse to accept this as my normal . The first group say stuck in patterns that drain them , they keep hoping things will magically get better when the kids are older , when work slows down and when life gets less complicated . The second group they make a decision that changes everything . They invest in themselves , not their business , not their resume , not their networking events , themselves . What actually happens when you invest in yourself ? You stop checking email during your daughter's soccer game ,
Real Success Stories
Speaker 1not because you have to , because you genuinely want to be there , fully present . You wake up Monday morning without that heavy feeling in your chest , because your work finally feels aligned with who you are . You make decisions without second-gu , second guessing yourself for weeks , because you've learned to trust your inner compass again . You have energy left for the people and the things that matter most , not just the leftover scraps after you've given everything to everyone else . This isn't wishful thinking . This is what every single person who's done the work tells me .
Speaker 1Jennifer discovered her core values and strengths through the workshop and used them to completely pivot her career . Thanks to Laura's support and guidance , I am now confidently pursuing a career that resonates with who I am and what I love to do . Doing a career that resonates with who I am and what I love to do . Carrie stayed in her current role but made micro moves that transformed everything . I started showing up differently , my confidence deepened and I was equipped to have a conversation with my employer about how to adjust my role slightly to better use my skills and find alignment in my life . Slightly to better use my skills and find alignment in my life . And Paul he realized he could start his own business a decade sooner than he thought possible . I went from feeling total despair about my limited role to being in the best position professionally , personally and with my family personally and with my family . So here's my question for you what would you do if you knew I mean really , really knew that investing time and energy in getting aligned would give you back more time , more energy and more joy than anything else you could possibly do ? And yes , roll your eyes at me , because that's exactly what happens .
Speaker 1The Pursue your Purpose workshop is taking place September 11th and 12th , two half days that will walk you through my four A's framework
Pursue Your Purpose Workshop Details
Speaker 1, the exact process that's helped hundreds of people stop accepting fine as their standard and start creating lives and careers that feel extraordinary from the inside out . This isn't about finding yourself through some mystical journey . This is a practical , grounded framework that creates real results . We're talking about clarity on what actually matters to you , tools for making decisions that honor your values , a roadmap for creating success that energizes you instead of depleting you . And if you're thinking , laura , I don't have time for this , then that's exactly why you need it . The people who think they don't have time to invest in themselves are the ones burning out on vacation , missing their kids' bedtime stories because they're stuck in another urgent meeting and wondering why success doesn't feel like they thought it would .

That's another $297 value that you'll receive right after the workshop to keep the momentum going .
Speaker 1It took me a long time to get to this point . I have been teaching this for two years and I didn't necessarily believe in myself when I started , but guess what ? Hundreds of case studies later , I believe . I believe . I believe in this workshop , and if this workshop doesn't call to you and something else is , do it . Invest in yourself . Invest in yourself . Don't keep waiting for the perfect time . You can keep telling yourself that things will get better . When life slows down , you can continue to accept that quiet ache as just being part of it , or you can decide that you're done with I'm good , I'm fine . I know this because I'd be like I'm good , I'm fine , I wasn't . No , I wasn't .
