Hey Y’all!

I’m Laura 🤗 I’m in my 50’s, an owner of 4 small businesses, divorced twice and dating. I should also mention living my best life. 💗

I bought A.B.B.Y. (Any Body But You) to challenge myself to conquer something I was afraid of, and to get over someone I was in love with, that didn’t deserve my heart. 

I grew up in Plano but now live in Valley View,  a small rural town 60 miles north of DFW, and I love it here so much. 

I’m so excited to share NOT So Dear A.B.B.Y. with you and take you on some of our crazy adventures and some serious talks too. I can’t wait to share some coffee or a glass of wine with you and learn more about YOU. 💗

Born in the heart of Fort Worth, Shelly is the blonde-haired, blue-eyed force behind a beloved small-town boutique café known for its scratch-made comfort food, handcrafted lattes, and cocktails strong enough to stir up a little truth. A proud mama to an adult child and an even prouder business owner, she’s built a space where biscuits are buttery, the coffee is bold, and every guest feels like family.

Now, she’s bringing her feisty wit and sharp intelligence to the mic as one-fourth of Not So Dear A.B.B.Y. a podcast with three of her fiercest girlfriends that serves up unfiltered advice, real talk, and just the right amount of sass. Shelly is equal parts class and grit, with a heart as big as Texas and a mouth that says what you're thinking, only better.

Tammy grew up in McKinney, Texas at a time when there were no cell phones and no social media which allowed her to live life in the moment and by the seat of her pants. TNN and MTV played music videos 24/7 and 80’s music was the soundtrack to her teenage years. After college, Tammy took an IT job in corporate America and has been there since, even though her true passion is for music and singing.

Who she is today is shaped by her life experiences and memories spanning from her childhood to present day. She wears her scars with pride and as evidence that she’s a survivor. But those scars are just a small part of her story. She’s done a lot of living and still has much more to do. 

Tammy loves to have a good time and keep things lighthearted, but can offer up a serious dose of reality with a smile.
