LIFE & CARREER

“As I watched new experts coming in to manage tasks and ask the same questions I was asking and managing, and I wondered why Until I was introduced to a new high-level employee as Michael’s wife, and mother of 4 POW - that one was hard, and I left that meeting thinking about my skills, my perceptions, my know-how, and my ability to manage tasks and figure out solutions, between working through my feelings on this comment and the next 8 months, I knew I had more to offer than what I was currently doing ”

Lara is a happily married mother of 4 (ages ranging from elementary school through high school) While this keeps her busy, she has learned that there is room in her life for all the things she wants to accomplish while still being a present and actively mom She discovered how to define what her memories with her kids could be, and how to create a life where she can enjoy and find fulfilment with her family and her career passion

“The shutdown gave me the best time to make a personal pivot and a time where I could relearn who I was It gave me the breathing room to mourn the loss of who I’ve been in the past I know that can sound weird I liked who I was, not everything but a lot of points I had opinions, and convictions that I stood up for, I had strong boundaries and I knew what I wanted When I had kids I felt that anything I did, people would put my actions onto my kids, and I didn’t want the possibility of negative effects on them ”

Learning to trust the process of listening to myself while parenting was part of going back and letting go of fears, judgements (mine and others), belongings, places and relationships that were not healthy

“I kept giving and people kept taking Trusting meant I needed to get over the idea of rejection I have been told NO so many times already, why would another one matter? What NO did pre-kids was fuel my desire to complete it anyway. So, I picked that part of me up again and decided to use it and help others.”

In October of 2022, Lara created a short video series of interviews called “Hitting Your Goals, Even When Life Feels Hard” This series included experts from different fields coming together to share methods to help people pick themselves up and move forward That’s where Lara expanded her mission to help moms who feel they’ve lost their purpose, goals and intentions, learn how to redefine themselves while building their confidence

“My vision is to help women who are going through hardships such as moving with a family, losing themselves in parenting, feeling lonely or just not fulfilling their own needs learn how to honour who they were while defining who they are going to become, all while managing the present. For mothers, there are a lot of topics which are not discussed openly, and there’s a level of shame from this that leads to conversations lacking honesty It’s so easy as a mom to back burner yourself until you hit the point where it feels lonely and isolating What’s even harder is how many experts are giving advice to mothers who have never experienced the kind of day a mom does If one more person tells me to get up a few hours earlier or make my bed first thing! (laughs) But in all seriousness, how can an expert help a mother with something like time management, if you ’ ve never lived through adjusting schedules and figuring out logistics the way moms do once life changes from ME to WE mentality? The changes in managing your time and understanding the systems in place that our kids are navigating have changed Now more than ever women are thinking of their families and businesses not knowing how to even go about breaking down their big picture to make it manageable in the pockets of time they have, which steps to take to get started, or how to keep up self-motivation to hit their goals Knowing that there are people and resources to help Moms be accountable for their wants beyond being mom and gaining clarity is life-changing.“
