Laurie Davies

An author and speaker, Laurie Davies has been writing since her advanced composition teacher told her she broke too many rules. Laurie’s motto is “Go get your life,” and she knows first-hand that we can forgive and live no matter what we’ve endured. Laurie has contributed to Guideposts and Chicken Soup for the Soul, and is honored to join the Joyful Life team, where she writes with courage and care about difficult family dynamics. A former journalist and women’s ministry director, Laurie serves as a lay counselor in the Phoenix area, where she lives with her husband, son, and their puppy Pearl (who invites you to catch her monthly column in Laurie’s newsletter by signing up here). You can also connect with Laurie on Instagram, or through her Facebook.
