    It's Mountain Moving Day with your host Laura Ard
    2026/06/23

    🎙️ IT’S MOUNTAIN MOVING DAY! 🎙️

    Today on the Voice Unbound Podcast, we’re talking about the mountains standing in front of you.

    Not the mountains you hike.

    The mountains that seem impossible to overcome.

    The health diagnosis that has held you captive.

    The grief that has settled deep into your soul.

    The marriage that fell apart.

    The fear that keeps you silent.

    The doubt that whispers, “Things will never change.”

    Jesus said in Mark 11:23:

    “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.”

    Every mountain is different, but the invitation is the same.

    Speak to it.

    Don’t bow to it.

    Don’t build your life around it.

    Speak to it in faith.

    Stand on God’s promises.

    Believe that the God who created mountains is greater than the mountain standing before you.

    Today is Mountain Moving Day.

    What mountain are you speaking to today?

  • Mother,s Day, When your Mom is no longer here

    Mother,s Day, When your Mom is no longer here
    2026/05/12

    This Mother’s Day weekend, Laura gets personal. Fourteen years ago, she lost her mom, and she’s never talked about it quite like this. In this heartfelt solo episode, Laura explores what happens when you lose your mom at any stage of life: how grief changes you, how it can quietly silence your voice, and how God meets you in that stillness and calls you back to life. Whether your loss is recent or years behind you, this episode is for every woman who’s ever gone a little quiet after losing the woman who first heard her voice.


    In this episode, Laura shares:

    • How the loss of your mom affects your voice and your identity — no matter what stage of life it happens

    • Why grief has a silencing effect that we don’t talk about enough

    • Her personal journey losing her mom fourteen years ago and what that season really looked like

    • How God met her in the quiet and called her voice back to life

    • An invitation for women who are ready to reclaim their voices around their own loss

    This episode is for you if you’ve lost your mom and felt yourself go a little smaller, a little quieter, and you’re ready to start finding your way back.

    Special Guest Amy Lacey
    2026/04/28

    Growing up in Northern California, I developed a passion for business at an early age. Truthfully, I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Lupus and became very sick. I was prediabetic, had gestational diabetes, and inflammation was attacking my body. I knew I had to make significant changes to my lifestyle. At the same time, I still wanted to enjoy fun foods with my kids and be part of our family’s Friday pizza night. So I set out to create a healthier alternative and invented a cauliflower pizza crust. That decision sparked a transformational health journey. I was able to come off steroids and Plaquenil, lost 48 pounds, and ultimately felt called to help others on their own wellness journeys. I later became certified as a life and health coach through Martha Beck. In 2015, I began selling my cauliflower pizza crust at our local farmers’ market with my kids. What started as a small family venture quickly grew. In January 2017, the product went viral and Cali’flour Foods was born. Then, in late 2019, I sold the majority of Cali’flour and became one of the top 1% of women business owners to exit a company with an 8-figure deal.

    After selling the majority of Cali’flour Foods, Amy doubled down on her mission: to help people tap into the body’s innate ability to heal, thrive, and stay well. In 2023, she founded Beyond Medicine (BeMe) and launched what would become the foundation for her next chapter, Soursop Nutrition, alongside a powerhouse team and female-led investment group. What started as a focus on one of the world’s most powerful superfruits has since evolved into something much bigger. But after years of research, Amy uncovered a major gap: most supplements simply aren’t delivering what our bodies truly need. Today, that vision lives on as Livyond, a next-generation wellness brand rooted in cellular health, transparency, and bio- individuality, spanning both ingestible nutrition and skincare.

    After spending years developing and refining formulations, Amy created products designed not just to taste good—but to create real, noticeable impact in the body. What began as Soursop Nutrition has now expanded into Livyond’s full wellness ecosystem, including cellular nutrition products and a rapidly growing skincare line designed to support the body both internally and externally. Because true health isn’t one-dimensional, it’s a system.

    Your Voice is your Ministry Episode 5
    2026/03/17

    Your voice isn't just for Sunday morning. It's for Monday. It's for your Podcast. It is for your coaching clients. It's for the woman who needs to hear your story. I challenge you this week to use your voice in one new way.

    Thank you for the many voices that listen in to my podcast, including the ones who have been quite way to long. I declare right now that the silence is broken. That fear is losing its grip . Give each woman the courage to open her mouth this week, knowing that You will fill it. Let her voice be a ministry, to her family, her community, and the world.
