New Feature: Ask Dr. Laurie (A Weekly Inner Circle Exclusive)
Most people think their questions are too small to ask.
Or too big.
Or too personal.
So they stay stuck, silently wondering what to do next.
What I’ve learned?
The moment someone gets brave enough to ask the real question… everyone else exhales.
Because they’ve been wondering the same thing too.
Over the years, I’ve heard thousands of questions from patients, coaching members, and now you—my readers.
Some are clinical.
Some are mindset.
But the most powerful ones are usually a mix of both. Like:
“Why do I always blow it on Friday nights after a great week?”
“How do I know if I’m just tired… or if it’s something deeper?”
“I know what to do, so why can’t I seem to do it?”
These are the kinds of questions that don’t just need information.
They need interpretation.
They need compassion.
They need an honest, nuanced response, grounded in both medicine and real life.
So starting this week, I’m launching a new feature:
Ask Dr. Laurie
Each Friday, I’ll choose one subscriber question to answer in full. The question will be visible to everyone. The answer will be exclusive to paid Inner Circle members.
To submit your question, simply reply to this email or message me privately in the Substack chat.
Include:
Your first name (or let me know if you'd prefer to stay anonymous)
Your question (as clearly and honestly as you can)
Each one will be read personally by me. I’ll choose the questions that feel the most relevant, the most needed, and the most likely to help others as well.
This is not a one-size-fits-all Q&A. It’s a weekly conversation, one that I hope brings clarity, confidence, and healing insight right when you need it most.
If you’re a paid Inner Circle member, you’ll receive the full answer every Friday, along with the full archive of coaching guides and exclusive tools.
If you’re still on the free list, you’ll see the question, but not the answer.
So the choice is yours.
You can keep reading quietly, wondering what the right next step is…
Or you can ask it.
And maybe help someone else in the process.
We heal better together.
Join the Inner Circle today.
Good idea, Dr. Laurie. The quality of the question tells me what matters to people in the Habit Healers community and to what extent there is resonance with any questions my adults in the Gifted + Professionals + Communicators. The community crosswalk is the opportunity I want to see.
This quote cuts to the core of our insecurities about vulnerability and honest inquiry. Most of us hesitate to ask questions because we're trapped by a fear that ours might be too insignificant, too overwhelming, or even too personal. Yet when someone finally dares to ask the "real" question it provides a moment of collective release. Others, who have been silently wrestling with the same doubts, exhale in relief, knowing they're not alone in their curiosity or confusion.
It underscores an important truth: authentic progress, whether personally or collectively, begins with the courage to question. That single act of inquiry not only liberates the asker but also inspires a wave of openness and understanding in others. It’s a reminder that our shared uncertainties can be the gateway to profound insights and deeper connections.
