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

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
I have known Laurie for over 17 years in both a professional and personal manner. Her lived experiences and unwavering support have been a tremendous help in transforming my way of thinking and looking at different perspectives both of which have been monumental in my journey to discovering and rediscovering my passions, values, and most importantly my purpose. Laurie has a true passion and compassion for people. She is the best cheerleader and knows when I need support from a distance, to walk beside me or when I need to be carried
Talli Morris
I have never walked in a room of total strangers and felt so comfortable. The environment created by Shica and Laurie is one of inclusiveness and diversity. I left feeling empowered and optimistic. I met people with whom I never would have otherwise and was better for it.
Laura White
When attending my first one percent event, Awakening You, I didn’t quite know what I was in for but it was way more than I ever expected! There were such a welcoming group of women who were ready to dive in and lift each other up in the most positive way! It was an emotionally freeing experience as we were able to open up and share with the help of prompts and questions. Everyone was so vulnerable as it instantly felt like a safe space to be yourself! The One Percent is a community anyone would be lucky to be a part of. There are people from all walks of life coming together to be the best version of themselves
