Today we’d like to introduce you to Laura Moore.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Laura. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Due to delivery complications, at three weeks old I was diagnosed with Epilepsy, a neurological disease I had absolutely no control over. My neurologist could never figure out where my seizures were originating from nor how to fix them. Their decision was to medicate me. Medication was my routine and it took a toll on me. It wasn’t a solution, I lived like this for years and even at an early age, I remember being tired of it. Medical exams, brain scans, shots; when were they all going to end? I did not have a normal childhood or lifestyle others were fortunate to experience. I did not have many friends and I wasn’t considered “normal” like the rest. I was an overweight, average girl with a different nationality. Believe me, I tried to fit in with kids, yet no matter how hard I tried I wasn’t accepted for me. Although I had a rough time with other kids, school was my escape from home, where most of the abuse occurred.

Growing up, I was always taught to “hold your tongue” and “turn the other cheek,” when in reality I was being abused. I would wake up to my parents arguing day in and day out. Often times they took their frustrations out on me. Living in a state of fear became normal. Dad was physical while Mom was verbal. “You will never amount to anything, if you do not lose weight, nobody will ever like you!” This is all I heard from my mother day after day. She was degrading, discouraging and mean. I grew up feeling I had no escape. Yet I was always a child with big dreams. I wanted to be a singer and a model. Music and fashion are two of my loves, they became my escape. I was doubtful about my dreams and how I would manage with seizures. But I gave it a go and performed at places such as The Peace Center in Greenville, with fellow 5th graders and continued on into my high school years. I was still shy, had no self-confidence, and did not have the encouragement from home to pursue my dreams.

At age 20, I met my husband at the time, and we moved in together. I thought life would be great and I would finally escape the abuse I experienced at home. I was in for a surprise, I continued to experience verbal abuse fueled by his drinking habits, I felt as though I had no way out. Yet something positive came from that experience. In January of 2009, my greatest blessing arrived, my son. I was a still suffering seizures while having him. What scared me more was the fear that it would be genetic. Thankfully, he is healthy and well.

In 2011, I finally found a neurologist in Greenville, SC who referred me for testing to determine where my seizures were originating from. EEG’s, CAT scans, MRI’s were performed. For two long years, my dad and I traveled back and forth from Upstate, SC to Charleston, praying I would be a brain surgery candidate. I was fortunate that good news arrived. After doctors reviewed all my tests and scans, I became a candidate. The doctors mentioned I would have to have at least three to four seizures, originating from the same spot, in order to have the final procedure done.

I was grateful yet fearful! On September 21, 2013, I my mother in law passed away due to a brain aneurysm, I feared the worst. I thought I was next. After losing her and my dad being hospitalized for a stroke, I seized four times in a row. I woke up the next morning, spoke to the doctor, and I was hauled into the operating room the following day for a temporal lobectomy. I believed I was going to be okay! But eight hours later, I woke up with the worst pain I have ever experienced. Post-surgery was excruciating as I felt as if someone was hitting my skull extremely hard with a hammer. But I was blessed. I woke up! I spent a few days in the recovery room and was finally sent home. Migraines lasted a couple of months. Six-month checkup went great! Scar was healing and hair was growing back!

I didn’t give up, I kept overcoming my challenges. I was finally able to drive, work, and live normally, in a way I had missed out on my entire life! My mindset began to change, and so did my life. I finally got out of the abusive marriage and for multiple reasons I started over with life. In November of 2018, my lifesaving hero, my Dad, passed away due to congestive heart and kidney failure. The small things people take for granted are someone else’s blessings!

In 2015, I started my fitness journey and have been seizure-free and meds free since my surgery. I also started working as a Forex trader, which is where we exchange currency for currency and make money in the process as well as LegalShield, which helps everyone have affordable access to law firms in the US and Canada. I have learned over the years that self and preventative care are the most important to one’s health and wellness.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Not at all. While growing up in an unsupportive environment, I had to have self-confidence and keep going no matter the issue. The biggest struggle I faced on top of being an epileptic was trying to fit in with the norm both at home and at school. I have always been interested in a variety of ways to make money residually, instead of having to exchange my time for money. Being a former massage therapist, I knew I wanted to help people and thankfully I can help them live financially free!

So, what’s next? Any big plans?
One plan I have is to move to the beach and retire. I have always loved the beach. Another goal I have is to help epilepsy and cardiology patients pay their hospital bills. Having suffered epilepsy and losing my dad to congestive heart failure, I want to be able to contribute back to those who are not able to afford them. I am looking forward to taking my grandmother back home to the Philippines so she can be with her family. Having a second chance at life, I want to use my blessings to bless others in the process.
