From Surviving to Flourishing—
Why I Understand This Journey
Hi, I'm Laura Mangum Broome.
I’m not a coach who studied resilience from the sidelines—I’ve lived it. Within five years I faced bilateral breast cancer, the loss of my teenage son by suicide, loss of my remaining parent, a heart transplant that resulted from chemo treatments, and a sudden divorce after 27 years of marriage. Adversity makes you bitter or better. I chose better. It wasn't easy but it was worth it.
In short: I’m proof that adversity can be the launchpad to a life that’s not just restored—but beautifully renewed.
How I Transformed Pain into Purpose
Those five losses became the backbone of my iCope2Hope 3‑Step Resilience Framework and iCOPE 5‑Step Problem‑Solving Method.
Clients trust me because I translate raw empathy into clear, actionable steps that move them from chaos to clarity, from “Why me?” to “What’s next?”—all while weaving hope, humor, and evidence‑based resilience tools into the process.
Who I Help
I work with people in midlife who’ve faced life-altering setbacks—divorce, illness, career loss, grief—and are ready to move forward, but don’t know how. If you feel stuck, lost, or like it’s too late to start over. You are not alone.
You just have to begin. And I’ll walk with you, every step of the way.
What Sets Me Apart
Where many coaches stop at “bouncing back,” I guide people to flourish forward. Whether through one‑on‑one coaching, courses, or my book Flourishing After Adversity, I blend lived wisdom with practical strategy so every client leaves equipped to embrace change, focus on what’s in their control, and rediscover confidence, purpose, and joy.Â
