About Us
The One Percent Society
Our story began in the vibrant city of Las Vegas at a personal development event, where two women from completely different backgrounds crossed paths. What started as a chance encounter quickly blossomed into a transformational journey. In each other, we found common ground—whether it was our shared experience in the same company, our love for Disney World, or our struggles with divorce and feelings of loss, worthiness, and purpose. It was in those moments of vulnerability that we discovered the power of connection and the importance of community.
We believe that God places us in rooms with people we didn’t even know we needed. Through our friendship, we have learned that we are not alone in our struggles, and it is our mission to ensure that no woman feels isolated in her journey. We want you to know that perfection is overrated; what truly matters is the commitment to becoming just 1% better each day
In these pages, we aim to provide you with tools, insights, and encouragement as you embark on your own path of rediscovery. This guide is not about achieving unattainable ideals; it’s about embracing the beauty of imperfection and fostering a mindset of growth and resilience.
As you read through this ebook, we hope you find inspiration, love, and forgiveness within these words. Remember, you have the strength to navigate change and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead.
We leave you with this powerful reminder from Matthew 17:20: “If you have the faith of a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for you.”
With love and hope,
Shica & Laurie

What others are saying
Attending the launch event for One Percent was nothing short of inspiring. The energy in the room, the passion behind the mission, and the vision shared by the team left a lasting impression. It was clear that this organization is rooted in purpose and poised to make a meaningful impact.
I walked away not only understanding what One Percent stands for, but also feeling motivated by its commitment to excellence and community empowerment. I’m proud to support this journey and excited to see how far it will go

I attended the Awakening event for The One Percent and wow, was it an amazing experience. First, the two women leading the night, Laurie & Shica, talk about powerhouse women who know how to make others feel empowered. They were able to get people to step out of their comfort zone and break the shells holding them back - myself included. The small group work that we did was incredible and the bonds that I developed with the other women in my group were so strong. I had no idea what to expect from the night, but I can tell you that I left knowing that others felt some of my same struggles (tears were shed) and inspired by the way they broke thru their chains and came out stronger and better thanks to the help of these amazing women. Laurie and Shica's stories were enough to make you feel inspired but then they took it 100 steps further by reminding us all that we are loved and supported and held up by one another. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

What I deeply admire about Laurie is her unwavering authenticity, courage to boldly pursue her dreams, and her enormous heart for others. Learning about her business and the compassionate care they provide for those who cannot care for themselves only deepened my respect for how she shows up in the world. It takes both tenacity and a profound sense of purpose to make this work a part of her life's mission. Laurie, it has been a pleasure being connected to you. Thank you for being a true force of compassion, inspiration, and a good load of fun!😎
