Welcome to the Lara Blog

In this space, I share insights into every facet of my life, encompassing the personal, artistic, entrepreneurial, and well-being realms. I wear many hats, including that of an Artist, Podcaster, Educator, Speaker, Actor, Dreamer, Wife, Mother, and an ardent advocate for the creative career community. 

As a seasoned performing artist and a dedicated life coach, I'm passionate about nurturing global talents through arts education while emphasizing the importance of self-care driven achievement. My journey as a well-traveled, romance-loving wife, devoted parent, and fearless adventurer alongside my family of four adds a unique layer to my narrative.
