A Note from Laurie
Hi, I am Laurie Swanson. A former software engineer and tech recruiter, successful entrepreneur, TEDx Speaker and certified Career and Wayfinder coach with a spirit-centered approach.
I created Career Alchemy Academy to help women like you design a career and life that energizes you. Whether you're looking for your next move, trying to reconnect with your authentic self, or seeking to break free from burnout, this community is your safe space to explore, learn, and grow.
Let's face it, the world doesn't always support our big work dreams, especially for women. Here are the facts: studies show women are leaving STEM fields at crazy rates, and overall happiness is WAY down.
But there's good news too! I created Career Alchemy Academy to help you design the work-life you crave. Forget the title changes, it's about being the authentic YOU at work (more genuine), doing work that energizes you (less hustle), and making a real difference (more connection).
Ready to ditch the hustle and find your work-life magic? Join the Academy and you'll:
- Become unapologetically you: Smash limiting beliefs and outdated patterns holding you back.
- Find your ideal career: Do work that makes you feel ALIVE, not drained.
- Claim your spiritual gifts: Use your spiritual gifts to let go of the hustle and grind.
- Build your community: Learn alongside amazing women and support each other's success.
- Craft a plan that works: We'll turn your dreams into a step-by-step reality.
- Finally, prioritize your happiness: Gain the confidence to go after what truly matters.
You are an alchemist! Let's design your dream work-life together.

A Note from Laurie
I am Laurie Swanson. Certified Career and Life Coach. TEDx speaker, Cornell-certified DEIB expert, AAUW-trained negotiator, and spirit junkie. A former software engineer, software sales leader, and CEO of a 25+ year-old information technology recruitment firm
Like the many of women I’ve coached over the years who dared to pursue their career dreams in a world that doesn’t support
And I want to start with some hard facts:
According to a 2022 Metlife study women in STEM are exiting the workforce at almost twice (22%) the rate as women outside of STEM (12%)! https://bwnews.pr/4a3kE9m
In Build the Life You Want, the fantastic book by Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah Winfrey, we learn a few startling facts about happiness from a study by the National Opinion Research Center of the University of Chicago (NORC) (gssdataexplorer.norc.org).
The study showed that, over the last 10 years, the percentage of people stating they are “not too happy” rose from 10% to 24% and that the percentage of people saying they were “very happy” has fallen from 36% to 19%!
NOT TOO HAPPY! NOT FOR ME AND NOT FOR YOU!
Career Alchemy Academy is where you reset your career to align more fully with your unapologetic, authentic self. That’s why Career Alchemy Academy is so amazing – you transform who you are at work (more genuine and engaged), how you work (less hustle, more fun), and the work you are doing (aligned with who you are today).
Life is a gift! Our careers inform our lives – so if your work doesn’t light you up, it’s time to make a change. You have the agency to figure out how to make this existence as fulfilling, joyful, and impactful as possible.
In the Academy, you will learn that the way to your career fulfillment starts with your mindset.
You will learn how to change your limiting thoughts, and beliefs and disrupt behavior patterns that no longer serve you.
You will open up to career and life miracles, shattering the glass ceiling, and stepping into your authentic self.
You will reconnect with your inner wisdom and create outer results that energize you.
You will learn from others, support others, and empower yourself.
You will make plans for change and have the knowledge and courage to take action on them. No more letting your happiness take a back seat.
You will transform yourself and the work you are doing in the world. This means you will be part of a work culture that works for everyone.
You are an alchemist!
