A woman skipping her way down the rabbit hole and enjoying every single moment of it.

The name.

A Wiser Woman isn’t a destination. It’s a recognition.

She’s already the woman who reads the label. Who questions what’s on the shelf. Who thinks twice before buying what everyone’s buying. Who suspects that the trending supplement, the viral skincare routine, the thing her doctor prescribed without explanation, might deserve a closer look.

She doesn’t need to be convinced that this matters. She already knows it does. What she needs is the research to stand behind what her instincts have been telling her all along.

That’s what this is for.

Then I arrive

I started writing A Wiser Woman because I’m building what didn’t exist for me. Not the wellness blog, not the productivity podcast, not the soft-focus coach selling me back to myself in twelve modules. I wanted a thinking companion. A woman who’d been ten steps further into the research and come back with notes.

So I became one.

What changes

I used to buy cleaning products on sale. Body spray. Car fresheners. Room sprays. A Yankee candle on every surface because that's what a nice home smelled like.

I was uninformed. When you know more, you have the power of choice.

When I did, I didn’t overhaul everything overnight. I started where it made the most sense and moved from there. Now our home runs on natural fragrance, low-tox cleaning supplies and detergents, personal care that’s synthetic fragrance-free, cooking utensils and pans that don’t leach into the food. The choices we make with our dollars are different because we understand what we’re actually buying.

We still drink from a bottle when we’re out and forget to pack our own. We take paracetamol when we need it. I buy sauerkraut instead of making it most weeks. This isn’t about purity. It’s about knowing what matters, understanding why, and making deliberate choices with that knowledge rather than just going along with whatever’s on the shelf or trending this week.

That’s the shift. And it started with the research.

How this works

A weekly letter. A growing library. Eventually, small spaces to think out loud together.

The letter goes deep on one thing a week. Real sources, plain language, honest about where the research lands and where it doesn't. The library is the reading that changes how you see everything else. The spaces are coming when they're ready.

Hi! Let's meet.

I’m Laura. I live in the Netherlands with my husband and our son. I have ADHD, diagnosed late, which means hyperfocus is a real working mode and not a metaphor. I have a chronic illness that means I think about energy and the body from the inside.

I went deep on gut health and fertility during our IVF preparation and never really came back up. That season is where a lot of this started. The research became how I cared for my family when caring felt impossible, and the habit stuck.

I speak three languages fluently and am conversational in two more, not because it is useful but because learning things is how I engage with the world. I read too much, sleep too little, and believe that the women I know are sitting on more wisdom than the world currently lets them spend.

This is one small attempt to change that.
