Make Life Less Difficult Laing Rikkers: Cultivating a Life of Beauty, Meaning, and Joy
My guest today is Laing Rikkers.
Laing is an author, entrepreneur, and grief coach. Having gone through the unexpected loss of her sister in 2019, Laing has been on a journey of grief, healing, transition, and discovery since then.
Laing’s book, Morning Leaves (Red Hen Press), now in its second edition, draws on creativity, nature, and simple daily rituals. Through her poems Laing offers a practical and compassionate guide to navigating grief and life’s many transitions. Whether facing personal loss, burnout, or major change, her heartfelt insights and actionable tools help people find resilience, meaning, and joy—even in the darkest seasons.
In addition to her writing, Laing designs grief workshops and speaks at events nationwide. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Feeding San Diego and has previously served as Chair of the Salk Institute Council and as a Trustee of Pacific Ridge School. She co-founded Prosomnus Sleep Technologies and was a Managing Director at Healthpoint Capital. She has been married for 25 years and is the proud mother of two adult children and one spirited little dog.
