How to want more without feeling guilty for new moms: honest answers for Laporte

Laporte: for readers done coasting

Some nights in Laporte the house is quiet, the kids are fine, the job is good — and you lie awake because something in you is still knocking. This is about opening the door.

And this is Laporte: a community in the Fort Collins orbit where ambition is normal, busy is a badge, and gratitude can quietly slip into autopilot That context matters more than any general advice ever will.

🎧 A note for Laporte readers (read for you)

“I should be grateful, but I still feel unfinished. If you've ever said that, this book was written for you.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

Three questions Laporte readers dodge

What would you try if nobody would ever find out if you failed?
When did you last do something you weren't already good at?
What did you stop wanting — and was it a decision or a drift?

Ask the person who knew you at 22

Text an old friend one question: 'What did I used to say I wanted? Be honest.'
Read the answer twice in Laporte. Once for nostalgia, once for instructions.

Contentment is a place to stand, not a place to sit down for a decade.

The ending that spreads

It ends with a question, not a checklist — and that question is why readers from Mountain West and everywhere else keep sending each other this book instead of just recommending it.

What people in Laporte keep asking

Why is it only $0.99 on Kindle? To make the decision easy. It's free with Kindle Unlimited, and the $14.99 paperback is the same book in a format you can gift.

What's the one-line takeaway? 'Grateful' and 'growing' were never opposites — and the moment you pick both, the guilt goes quiet.
