Laura Ward is a mother of two, a wife, and a successful business owner. She is a daughter, a sister, and an aunt. She has run a half marathon. In 2014, after living with increasingly severe and ultimately debilitating back pain for more than 13 years, she had her spine fused. At the time, she was just over five months sober. At 42, Laura had just begun to achieve greatness, all while subconsciously trying to sabotage herself by letting her addiction to alcohol spiral out of control. Luckily, one day she woke up and decided to change. On February 5, 2017, Laura celebrated her second year of sobriety.
