Founder of Sisterhood Collective

Laurie Drummond is a community builder, mentor, and former Australian Army intelligence officer whose career spans war zones, entrepreneurship, and global leadership spaces. After 13 years serving in the military and working in high-pressure environments including Iraq, Laurie transitioned into civilian life, launching ventures such as Ultra CrossFit and later founding the Sisterhood Collective, a global women’s community with over 30,000 members.

Her work today focuses on helping women reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and find clarity through intentional community and conscious decision-making. Drawing from lived experience across male-dominated industries, burnout, reinvention, and leadership, Laurie is known for creating safe spaces where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow on their own terms.

In this honest and deeply grounding episode of The Matrix Green Pill Podcast, host Hilmarie Hutchison sits down with Laurie Drummond to explore what it truly means to reinvent yourself and lead with authenticity. Laurie reflects on her transition from military life to entrepreneurship, the loneliness of operating in high-pressure environments, and the moments that taught her the importance of values, intuition, and choice.

The conversation weaves through burnout, purpose, and the power of community, as Laurie explains how Sisterhood Collective was born from simple gatherings that created safety, connection, and real conversations. She shares why so many women feel disconnected from purpose, how to recognize when something no longer aligns, and why finding the “right room” can change everything.

This episode is a reminder that growth is not linear, resilience is built through connection, and you always have the power to choose a different path.

“I noticed that because I’d created this calm and safe and comfortable space, these women that didn’t actually know each other felt comfortable enough to share their struggles.”

Laurie Drummond

” The whole ethos behind the Sisterhood Collective is intentional decision making because you have the power to make a choice. And even if you don’t make a decision, that is your choice.”

“If you don’t take breaks from time to time, you actually start to become a different version of yourself. And it’s generally not the version that you like.”
