Pinky Swear Foundation

A childhood cancer diagnosis is an unfair crisis that turns a family’s world upside down. Amid having to make life-and-death decisions, there is the unanticipated burden of indirect costs, paired with a critical lack of resources or support.

High financial distress, significant income losses, and families going from middle class to poor are all too common outcomes of a childhood cancer experience. 

Since 2003, Pinky Swear Foundation has supported families’ quality of life with direct financial aid for basic needs.

Recruiter | Sourcing Associate

Hi, I'm Laura King—mom to 4 beautiful boys, career + alignment strategist, keynote speaker, and author of Shine Brighter: The High Achiever's Guide to Purpose, Presence, and Peak Living.

As an award-winning executive recruiter with 18 years and 30,000+ interviews, I discovered the gap between external achievement and internal fulfillment plaguing accomplished professionals. After witnessing this "silent epidemic" of high-functioning burnout (and experiencing it myself), I knew there had to be a better way.

My personal breakdown became my breakthrough as I learned about balance by completely losing it. I understand firsthand the challenges of feeling stuck in the "middle"—that place where ambition meets exhaustion and clarity can seem elusive. Now, I'm passionate about helping others discover that their life and career can be better than they ever imagined, even when the path isn't always clear.

My first book, Shine Brighter, emerged from my real-time recovery, offering a success paradigm where purpose fuels performance rather than competing with it. Through my signature 4 A's Framework—Awareness, Attitude, Action, and Alignment—I bridge business strategy and inner wisdom, speaking "corporate" while honoring the deeper human experience.

As a natural connector who sees potential in people before they see it themselves, I believe purpose isn't found—it's revealed. My coaching programs, workshops, and keynotes help burned-out high-achievers reclaim their purpose and perform authentically at their highest level.

True brilliance comes from shining from the inside out. Visit my website to learn more about how we can work together, and how you can finally shine your brightest.
