About GlowGal
My Story — and Why This Method Exists
Hey there my sweet friends, and future GlowGetters! My name is Laura Hartnett, and I am the creator of GlowGal Method. I’m a single mother of five, and while that alone carries weight, it’s not the full story — it’s the context in which everything else had to work. I didn’t set out to create a “method.” I was trying to survive.
For decades, I studied traditional self-help, therapy models, mindset work, and personal development — not casually, but desperately. I implemented what I learned. I failed. I tried again. I failed better. Most of my breakthroughs came through trial and error — and a lot of my own error. What I didn’t realize at the time was that I was slowly uncovering a framework for resilience.
From Survival Mode to Something More
When 2020 hit, everything collapsed at once. I was broke. Jobless. In the middle of a toxic divorce with an ex determined to villainize my escape.
With five children depending on me, I did the only thing I could do — I went all in.
I opened a salon with zero experience.
Sounds like a good idea right?
On the opening day, it was shut down due to COVID.
What are the odds?
I didn’t have one mountain to climb — I had an entire range in front of me. And there was no backup plan.
So I leaned on everything I had spent years learning through therapy, education, and lived experience. I learned how to regulate my nervous system under pressure. I learned how to make decisions from clarity instead of fear. I learned how to keep moving forward without burning myself out.
Against all odds, I built a successful business — landing magazine covers and proving something far more important than financial success:
I was stronger than I thought.
The Pattern I Couldn’t Ignore
As I rebuilt my life, something unexpected happened. I became the person people came to.
Women began asking me about motherhood, divorce, business, entrepreneurship, emotional healing, and self-improvement. I kept seeing the same thing over and over again:
The women who thrived weren’t more motivated. They weren’t more disciplined. They weren’t “better” at life. They had skills.
And those skills followed a pattern.
That’s when I decided to formalize what I had discovered. I became certified in neuroplasticity and neuroscience — not to become a coach, but to validate and refine the framework I had already lived.
Why GlowGal Is Different
I don’t believe in personal growth models that create dependency.
GlowGal is built on self-led growth, not constant guidance or emotional outsourcing. The goal is agency — teaching women how to regulate, rewire, and realign themselves so growth becomes sustainable and repeatable.
This method isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about learning how to access the part of you that was always there — even when you were exhausted, overwhelmed, or wondering:
“Who turned out the lights?”
I’ve been there.
And I learned how to ignite my own light from within — and let it glow.
Why I’m Sharing This With You
I’ve never been a gatekeeper.
These tools changed my life — and I believe every woman deserves access to them. I've often shared them on my Podcast "Bless Your Hart," but I realized that part of what created my success was the order in which I discovered & used them.
GlowGal exists because resilience isn’t random.
Healing isn’t accidental.
And transformation doesn’t require breaking yourself first.
You don’t need more motivation.
You need a method that works with your brain and nervous system — not against them.
That’s what I built.
And that’s what I’m sharing with you.
From my Heart to Yours
The most important thing I wish to tell you is you are valuable. You are worth investing in, and the greatest gift I ever gave myself and my family was taking the time to build me. As a mother I had little ones looking up to me, and it didn't matter what I said but more what I modeled. Who do I want my children to become? I realized, I must become her and learn so I can pave the way for them. We are now not just surviving, we are living out our dreams and though life is no where near perfect, I live fearlessly knowing it doesn't need to be to truly embrace all the joy life has to give. I hope to hear your stories of resilience as we become friends!
Love,
Laura aka "GlowGal"
