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- Become unapologetically you: Smash limiting beliefs and outdated patterns holding you back.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.

Creating Career Alchemy Works. Here’s the Proof.
"I have been in a career that has served my life well in terms of providing income, benefits, and SECURITY for the family. However, for fear of losing that security, I tolerated more than necessary and didn't take action in areas that might have served me better in terms of income, job satisfaction, and giving back. Laurie’s guidance and support have been invaluable as I am now taking my career in a new direction."
"I so appreciate Laurie’s coaching. She’s really great at figuring out root problems."
"I got the courage to apply for a job as a Python coder – and I got an interview! The old me would never have done this because I didn’t think I had enough qualifications. This changed the game for me. Learning about my inner compass and how to use it to accelerate my career will forever inform my career decisions."
"Thanks again for being here and whatever the outcome, I want to say I appreciate you so much Laurie. You're a good person and a significant part of a crucial decision-making and a life-changing phase of my and my daughter's life. We cannot emphasize how lucky we are to have you as part of our journey."
"Laurie has done her homework-in research and through life experiences. She shares that knowledge with inspiration and motivation."
