About

A friend once told me I’m a paradox - deep and reflective, but also light and fun. I took it as a compliment (and it’s true). My writing goes deep, but I laugh at myself and life often. My kids make sure I never forget the fun.

My inner journey began when life stopped going to plan, culminating in a blood cancer diagnosis. When I let go of control, I found something I didn’t even know I was looking for - wholeness and a sense of home within my own skin.

I believe the search for feeling whole is universal, and that’s what inspired my book.

I have written professionally as a marketer and content writer for twenty years. Now, through my Substack, podcast, published pieces, digital experiences and book, my work gives voice to the truths that return us to our wholeness - the place from which we create a better world.

Professional bio

Lara Charles is a writer, podcaster and course creator helping women untangle from the inherited stories that keep us restless.

Her memoir Joy, Regardless and her podcast and Substack Deeper Threads explore the stories we inherit about who we are supposed to be, and what becomes possible when we begin to question them.

Her work has been published nationally and internationally in outlets including Mamamia, Wellbeing and Stuff, and has reached women across ten countries who are longing to feel more like themselves inside their own lives.

Born on Darkinjung Country in NSW Australia and based in Aotearoa New Zealand, Lara creates from the belief that when a woman finds her way back to her own wholeness, the world shifts with her.

Mission

To help women remember their wholeness and feel free inside their own lives. Because when a woman finds her way back to her own wholeness, the world shifts with her.

What women say

"Lara’s book is beautifully written and her unique voice shines through right from the start. It’s equal parts humorous and poignant but always unflinchingly honest."

Dr. Petrina Hargrave, New Zealand

"Lara's knowledge is no longer conceptual. It is no longer borrowed knowledge from spiritual teachers or teachings. Lara has taken a dive into herself in a true and deep way. Her work reflects her special inner light of awareness, a light that many can benefit from its clarity in how to live with true purpose and in happiness."

Shikhaa, Spiritual Teacher and Co-founder of the Wisdom of Meditation Centre, New Zealand
