In a new blog twist, I’ve decided to scout the globe for interesting people who have great stories to share. Our first interview is with Laurel Crossley-Byers. In addition to being a fantastic person, who’s fun to be around, and able to balance objects on her forehead, Laurel has spun her career in a different direction. These days her focus is on helping children. Laurel is a life coach, a parent educator, founder of Opti-Mom and a TV Host at MomU.
