Hi I’m Laurie Short. A few of you might remember me from my maiden name (Polich) and the books I wrote under that name for youth workers and kids.  But in the last ten years a few things have changed– I moved to Santa Barbara to work at a church, got married and wrote 3 new books.

I speak at conferences, churches, colleges, and large events around the country, and I have spoken to over 500,000 people in the last 25 years. I’m also co founder of a cross generational women’s conference called SheGrows, and we’ve had 9 conferences our first year (visit the shegrowsconference website for details.) I love inspiring people to have a bigger vision for their life, and see the power of what one person can do
