Laura Tucker is encouraging women to make wellness a priority.

It’s why she created an online non-profit group called Finding My Happy that focuses on keeping one motivated to make their health, wellness and mindset a priority.

“We all need a strong community to get through this journey of life,” says Tucker.

“I know sometimes we, as women, put ourselves on the corner and I don’t like seeing women settle for less. I want women to feel like they are seen and they do have a voice.”

Tucker has started hosting events for women in Airdrie to inspire them to step out of their comfort zones and find their passion and purpose in life while building connections with others.

She has plans to create a business collective for women who have ideas but perhaps don’t know where to start. Tucker says she hopes the collective can also find a way to raise support for single moms.

Nominator Dawnie McElligott says Tucker’s efforts to support women in the community are inspiring.

“Laura doesn’t want any other women to feel like they have lost themselves,” says McElligott.

“We all go through trials and tribulations, but, through community, Tucker makes women feel healthier and happier.”
