The Women Changing the World Awards, presented by Oprah Winfrey\u2019s all-time favorite guest, Dr. Tererai Trent, celebrate and recognize women achieving outstanding success in areas such as sustainability, humanitarian work, leadership, advocacy, tech, product development, education, health and innovation. The awards are designed to spotlight the growing number of women who are leading the way in making the world a better place and to inspire others to take action.<\/p>\n

Dr. Trent explains, \u201cThese exceptional women are here to awaken hearts, give permission to recapture dreams and inspire the women of the world to come together to forge a brighter path for all. The rising of women is the awakening of everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a background in law, marketing and business, NorthStar Moving Company Co-Founder Laura McHolm, left the Fortune 500 world to transform the moving industry. Her mission? To prove that moving is more than lifting heavy things, it\u2019s about lifting spirits. Through NorthStar Moving, she pioneered eco-luxury moving services, combining five-star client care with sustainability, building a company that puts people and the planet first.<\/p>\n

Her work stands out for its unique blend of luxury service and deep community impact. From moving families battling cystic fibrosis, to providing free storage to wildfire victims, to raising over 819,000 meals for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Laura has shown that a moving company can be a powerful engine for good. She currently serves as Chairman of the Board for Claire\u2019s Place Foundation <\/u><\/a>and continues to champion causes that support children, animals, families and refugees.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the success of businesses should be measured not just by profit, but by their impact. We’ve turned a traditionally male-dominated into a people-first, purpose-driven company. There simply is no stopping the power of love and kindness,\u201d said Laura.<\/p>\n

Laura attributes this success to her passionate team, belief in the power of positive action and her community. Her vision for the future is to continue expanding NorthStar Moving\u2019s philanthropic efforts, inspire more companies to integrate social responsibility into their core operations and create more leadership opportunities for women in male-dominated industries.<\/p>\n

This recognition marks Laura\u2019s first international honor, with women from over 50 countries represented at the 2025 Women Changing the World Awards. The honorees were announced on April 3rd, 2025, at the Women Changing the World Global Summit and Awards at the Park Hyatt on the River Thames in London, United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Dr. Trent\u2019s vision for these awards is to empower women everywhere to reclaim their sacred dreams and unite across the globe to build a better future for all. To see the full list of finalists, visit: wcwawards.com\/finalists<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n
