You are meant for more. Not more external validation—more inner certainty.
There’s a part of you that knows you’ve been showing up the way you’re expected to—but not fully as yourself.
You’ve worked hard, proven yourself, and by all accounts, you should feel confident. And yet, something feels just out of reach. Not because you aren’t enough, but because you’ve spent so much time fitting into a version of success that was never truly yours.
You want to walk into any room and know you belong—not because you’ve learned how to play the game, but because you’ve rewritten the rules for yourself. You want to be seen not just for what you do, but for who you truly are. You want to move through life with confidence that isn’t performed, but embodied.
To lead in a way that feels natural, not forced. To trust your voice, not just when you’re at your best, but always. To stop molding yourself to fit expectations and start standing firmly in who you are.
And the best part? That version of you already exists.
I think leadership is misunderstood
We’ve been taught that it’s something you do at work—a set of external skills to perform, separate from who you truly are. But what if leadership is really an expression of your inner truth, a natural extension of the person you are at your core?
Are you tired of feeling unseen, undervalued, or forced to contort yourself to fit someone else’s mold? Do you find yourself caught between who you are inside and the leader you’re expected to be? If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re exactly where you need to be.
I'M LARA AND I'VE WALKED THAT SAME PATH.
I once lived as the “corporate good girl,” outwardly successful yet silently wrestling with self-doubt and the pressure to play small. I saw firsthand how women like us shape-shift in a relentless effort to be noticed and respected—only to lose touch with the very qualities that make us uniquely powerful. It was through this journey that I discovered a truth: real leadership begins from within.
At Root2Rise, I guide women on a transformative journey of inner discovery. Together, we dismantle the limiting beliefs and patterns that have held you back, anchoring you in a deep sense of self-worth. This work isn’t about adopting a new persona—it’s about uncovering and embracing the leader who has always been you.
If you’re ready to bridge the gap between who you are and how you lead, to rise in a way that feels authentic and true, then welcome. You’re in the right place to begin a journey that honors your inner strength and redefines what it means to lead.
True confidence isn’t learned, earned, or performed.
It’s remembered.
We’re taught that confidence comes from external validation—from speaking louder, taking up space, and learning the right strategies to be heard. But real confidence doesn’t come from performing—it comes from trusting that you are already enough.
The problem isn’t that you’re not capable or strong enough—it’s that, over time, you’ve been taught to hide the truest, rawest parts of yourself. The parts you thought were too soft, too different, too unpolished to be valued. The parts you’ve tucked away to be accepted—the deep-feeling, thoughtful, instinctive, and quietly powerful pieces of you.
I don’t teach you how to project confidence. I help you uncover it. I guide you through the inner work that dissolves self-doubt, rewrites the stories that keep you playing small, and reconnects you with the leader you already are.
Because the most powerful version of you isn’t something you need to become—it’s someone you need to remember.
