MEET THE real southern girl
Hey, I'm Laura!
I'm first and foremost a Mum of two, but I am also a MBA graduate, ex-corporate suit wearer, (now I only wear jeans and boots!), agritourism business owner, and an accredited DiSC facilitator.
I am a woman who has worked in male-dominated corporate industries, farming, and female empowerment; my work experiences, combined with my own personal confidence building journey, bring a rare blend of practical grit and strategic expertise to everything I do.
I believe a "proper lady" is one that is practical, capable, and confident, and honestly, I created this programme because society taught us how to be "good girls", but I will teach my daughter how to be unstoppable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be a Mum to benefit from The School?
Not at all. The course is designed to help women from age 16 to 116 earn unshakable confidence. Therefore any women at any stage of life who wants to build real confidence and practical life skills will benefit. So if you're a Mum, a mentor, or simply someone ready to invest in yourself, this programme is for you. You can do this course alone or with your child. Confidence isn’t about age or titles, it’s about action. If you want to know specifics about what is in each module, or how it could work for you, feel free to flick me a message!
Can I do The School with my daughter?
100% yes. The lessons and tools in this online programme are designed for women and girls of all ages earn confidence in their abilities. Each learning video has a description of its contents so you can clearly see what topics are covered and you can decide which modules you would like to work through with your daughter. We highly recommend doing this with them if you can as it will speed up the confidence building journey for you and your daughter(s) and help keep you accountable.
I don't have much spare time, can I still do The School?
Absolutely. I am a busy working Mum too, so I get it. This course has been designed with busy Mums in mind so the modules are broken down into short, engaging videos that can be watched when it suits you. Small consistent work over time is encouraged as this is what leads to real change, so take your time, one learning video at a time!
What if I want to learn more about a particular module?
This course has been built with experts in their fields and there are links to each of their own online businesses in each module. If after completing the Southern Girl Finishing School you decide that you want to get deeper into a subject (physical, personal, physical, financial or sexual confidence) then you can connect directly with the module facilitator and get deeper into the learning!
Is there a minimum age required to complete The School?
Not exactly. None of the themes and lessons in here are 'adult only' content, but if you are a mum wanting to help your daughter earn confidence then I recommend doing this programme with her so you can guide her through and reinforce the concepts too.
The Southern Girl Finishing School isn’t about hitting a certain birthday, but the content is written for mums with teenage daughters to help them earn confidence together.
If your daughter is a teen and you feel she’s ready, she’ll get a lot out of it. If she’s still a baby or young child, it’s actually the perfect time for you to do the course yourself. That way you can start building her up early, with the confidence tools already in your toolkit.
And if you’re wondering about the other end of the scale, it’s never too late to earn confidence.
What are the assignments I need to complete?
The assignments at the end of each module are not long essays, they are short, real-world tasks you need to complete to cement the learning. Once you have uploaded the assignment template with answers to the short questions provided, I then review your work and let you in to the next learning module.
