Name and Occupation: Becky - Homeschool Mom and Athletic Coach
 
How did you decide to begin coaching with Lara?
I decided to begin Life Coaching with Lara to help me through some tough life and career transitions. With those transitions came fear, anxiety, and I was feeling stuck in a negative head space. I was struggling to also be "present" for my spouse and kids. Life just seemed too overwhelming. 

In what areas of your life have you felt yourself growing and overcoming obstacles?

With Lara’s help, I have been able to push through my fear and anxiety.  I feel myself growing more confident and moving towards career goals,  I feel mentally present for my spouse and kids, and I am able to take life’s challenges with confidence and grace. 
 
What words of advice/encouragement would you give to someone who is on the fence about investing in coaching with Lara?  
I think many will agree in saying that it is often difficult to take that first step toward self-help when feeling burned out and overwhelmed. Often we think that “we’ve got this” or “this too shall pass”.  My future goals were pushed aside, I became fearful to move forward. I was stuck, lost in the jumble of past trauma and negativity.  I was struggling with “being present” for my spouse and kids. Lara recognized this immediately and suggested a coaching call.  At the end of the coaching call, I felt all my scattered and often negative thoughts were filed away. I had a better understanding of why they were there and how to move past them. With consistent coaching, I look forward to letting go of those old paths of fear and anxiousness about the future, creating new paths,  therefore shaping better relationships and a positive outlook on the future. 
 
How are you being empowered to thrive from the space that you have been stuck and cycling in?  
Through Lara’s thoughtful questions and God-centered insight and guidance, I have felt so much growth in learning more about myself and my thought process.  Through learning, I have cycled through the places in my life where I have felt “stuck” in fear and anxiousness. I am happy to say I now have the encourage to move forward in my career and I feel so much more balanced and  less overwhelmed as a wife and a mother. 
 
What benefit do you see yourself experiencing from making this investment both financially and in time?  
I feel this investment is crucial in preventing the cycle of negative thoughts and keeping focused on being the creator of my future. It’s so easy just to push things off in life and think it’s okay to “just get by”.  But there is an easier path, and a quicker way out of those times in life where you feel “stuck”.  Lara helps direct you toward an  easier path filled with hope and promise. 
 
 
 

Lara invests in the coaching relationship in a way that honors God and honors His Body

Name and Occupation: Jaclyn - Missionary and Life & Leadership


How did you decide to begin coaching with Lara?
I met Lara in one of the coaching classes at PCCI. She and I were in the same peer coaching group and we connected during that time and I was drawn to her passion for learning as well as health and wellness. We had many connection points and I viewed her as someone I can trust and also learn from professionally as well as someone who remains curious about situations and doesn't judge but approaches with an open mind.

In what areas of your life have you felt yourself growing and overcoming obstacles?
In health and nutrition, I have more grace for myself and also confidence with the food choices I am making that are best for nourishing the temple God has given me. I feel seen, and heard, which is a gift to a missionary mom who feels far from home most of the time.

What words of advice/encouragement would you give to someone who is on the fence about investing in coaching with Lara?
You are investing in wellness, which at first will benefit you, but as you are being benefited there is a ripple effect to those in your orbit: spouse, kids, family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and beyond.

How are you being empowered to thrive from the space that you have been stuck and cycling in?
Through weekly check ins whether by Marco Polo or Zoom, Lara is available to hear me, which is a gift to a verbal processor. Her availability and willingness to connect via Marco Polo for me as a mom and in a drastically different time zone has meant the WORLD to me.

What benefit do you see yourself experiencing from making this investment both financially and in time?
Lara invests in the coaching relationship in a way that honors God and honors His Body - she avails herself to be used by the Holy Spirit and how she intertwines health, nutrition, science, the brain, and the Trinity has been so refreshing for body, mind, and soul. She looks at and cares about the whole person, not just the part that's hurting or in need.

I'm working through some career decisions, improving relationships, and gaining support and problem-solving regarding addictions I'm working to overcome.

In what areas of your life have you felt yourself growing and overcoming obstacles?
Through Life Coaching with Lara I have been able to work through some career decisions, improve relationships, and gain support and problem-solving regarding addictions I'm working to overcome.

What words of advice/encouragement would you give to someone who is on the fence about investing in coaching with Lara?
If there are problems in your life that seem overwhelming or you don't know where to get started, Lara is great at helping you break down big problems into small, attainable goals. She can also help you work through your own mental hangups to allow you to be able to take action where you couldn't before.

How are you being empowered to thrive from the space that you have been stuck and cycling in?
I used to feel stuck and frustrated that I didn't know where to begin and everything seemed to big. But now I can see progress in my life, goals and relationships. I have more hope now! I still have things to work on, but I feel like I will get there one step at a time. And I know Lara will support me with obstacles that come up.

What benefit do you see yourself experiencing from making this investment both financially and in time?
I am doing things I didn't think I could do before. Life still has challenges, but now I can see more clearly the steps I can take and it is better having someone I trust to help me as I go!

She listens with her heart

"Lara understands and does not ignore how mindset impacts other areas of our life. Because of her willingness to coach the whole person, I exceeded my goals and overcame a major mindset issue that was for certain keeping me behind as an entrepreneur. Lara listens with her heart and the evidence of this is in the questions she asks that attract and draw so much from the heart of the person she’s coaching. “For out of the heart flow the issues of life.”

I’m continually grateful for her listening, accountability and not being afraid to ask the tough questions. "

She is compassionate and really listens and helps me take ownership of my goals."
