The Compassion Code (published as Laura Jack)

Loss can break us open in a way we never imagined. It can leave us questioning everything.

Maybe you’ve sought support, but you still feel stuck in your suffering.
Maybe you feel like a muted version of yourself.
Maybe you keep wondering: Who am I now?

Underneath it all lies the question: What can I do with this heartache?

The answer: more than you think. I believe the best thing we can do is release what is heavy, reclaim our light, and then rise as a LIGHThouse so others may find their way in the dark.

Meet Laylani Colibri Jack (formerly Laura Jack)

Before I was a coach, a trainer, or an author, I was a daughter grieving, a woman searching, and a human learning how to feel.

In 2008, I lost my mother. Her death cracked something open in me, not just grief, but awakening.

Years later, in a moment when I felt lost and confused, I received a message that felt like both a whisper from my mom and a calling from my soul:

LOVE. loss. LOVE.

From that seed, everything grew.

I spent the first years finding my light again. Once I had, I began helping others do the same. I’ve supported thousands of people through the kind of loss that makes you question everything, as a coach, trainer, and speaker.

What I’ve seen again and again is that they weren’t broken. They were brokenhearted.

And the most beautiful part: as we heal and grow, supporting others gives our loss meaning... and we can honor both our loss and who we’re becoming.

Today, we’re creating LIGHThouses: steady, heart-centered humans who have done their inner work so they can guide others through the dark.

The LIGHT Method™

A transformational journey for women who have been through loss and feel called to live fully again, and to help others do the same.

I was once told that you can only take others as far as you’re willing to go. So I went to the depths, and I will guide you step by step on a journey that took me years to walk myself.

Release what’s heavy: the suffering of loss.
Reclaim your values, your priorities, and your essence from this broken-open place.
Rise as a LIGHThouse, a guide for others through difficult times.

This is where your grief becomes your gift.

In their own words…

"As a surgeon, I built my identity around being steady under pressure. Working with Laylani, I didn't just manage my anxiety -- I healed the grief underneath it. I later left my surgical practice to coach other surgeons through what I went through."

~ Melinda Thacker, MD, Surgeon Coach
"Working with Laylani, I learned to extend real grace to myself instead of judgment — and build the kind of trust with my team that lets me push them to grow. Now my own bosses lean on me to facilitate the hardest conversations on the team."

~ Sierra C. , Marketing Leader & LIGHThouse Coach
"This is the first place I ever learned you can call people out in a loving, supportive, kind way. It's changed how I communicate with my family and all the people I love."

~ Jenny Burgess, Veterinarian, Grief Specialist & LIGHThouse coach
"Even as a preacher and spiritual coach, after helping so many, I am still allowed to have moments when I need someone to hold space for me. After the LIGHT Method, I now understand — I can be tired without losing my light."

~ Rev. Velma Comena Matthews, Preacher & Spiritual Coach
“Since the work we’ve done together, turning pain into purpose has slowly become my mantra. I’ve worked hard, and I’ll continue this healing as long as there’s breath in my lungs.”

— Janelle D., Grief Specialist, LIGHThouse Coach
"It's the kind of work that shifts how you communicate, how you see people, and how you show up in your relationships — especially the ones that matter most. Laylani has this magical way of holding depth and clarity at the same time. She embodies what she teaches."

~ Erin U., LIGHThouse Coach in training, former RN

In times of disruption, loss, or change, teams need more than resilience training. They need to know how to acknowledge what's heavy and show up for each other without carrying the emotional weight.
