The phrases “rejection is redirection” or “rejection is protection” are tossed around a lot in the spiritual conversation. And yet, it’s still one of those things that are (far) easier to say than do. When someone says one of these phrases to us, we usually nod our heads aimlessly while ruminating on the pain of […]

Imposter Syndrome is not the result of a lack of action. You don’t feel like an imposter because you’re not working hard enough or not putting in the time to succeed. Imposter Syndrome comes from feeling you’re not worthy of or deserving enough of something you desire. We often validate these feelings by making blanket […]

As we grow older and step into our adult shoes, we realize how much our younger selves may have failed to recognize. Smaller lessons have sat within larger ones; but specifically, we did not realize our power simply within ourselves. Our lives are made up of one big book. It is up to us to […]

There are several models of thinking that describe how our brains function and why we think the way we do. Over the last two years, I’ve studied several of these models. I wanted to become the best coach possible, but as I was going through my healing journey, I began to wonder why I thought […]

The relationships we have with our parents are different than every other relationship we have. I am incredibly close with my parents, and although it hasn’t always been this way, it is now for several reasons. One highly important reason is while I was learning to heal my trauma, I learned to heal my mindset. […]

On some level, every entrepreneur struggles with some form of perfectionism. This is because as an entrepreneur, we’re not working just another job. What we’re creating is something often representative of ourselves and something we love. This puts us in a more vulnerable position with whatever it is we’re selling, offering, or creating. When something […]

Allow me to paint a picture of how I believe this unfolds before diving into the what and how. I believe at the ‘entrance’ of this lifetime, we stand in line waiting for acceptance into Earth School. As we reach the front of the line, we are posed with several different opportunities or contracts. Soul […]

The entrepreneurship journey is one of many emotions—a series of doubt mixed with excitement, fear coinciding with joy. It’s one all-consuming, ever-present thought process of “I can do this…Can I do this?” Which, coincidentally, is the mission statement of this brand. It’s only natural that the owner of a lifestyle brand preaching intentionality to you […]

What is Emotional Freedom Tapping or Technique? EFT is a practice used with a technique of acupressure tapping on the meridian points of your body. What are meridian points? These are points on your body, mainly your face, that correspond with the route energy runs throughout your body. These are points above the eyebrow, side […]

Announcing: the La.Rue Creative Studio! Since launching La.Rue, I’ve been approached by friends, friends-of-friends, and strangers, to help them with their branding or designing their website. I can’t quite pinpoint why I’ve always said no to these people; it just wasn’t something I thought I wanted to pursue, and creative inclination doesn’t come easily or […]

When I think of boundaries, I see this image of malleable moving parts constantly being pushed and pulled in different directions. Just like many aspects of our lives, our boundaries are constantly changing. We have different boundaries for different conditions of our lives, different people, places, etc. Everything in our lives is separated by categories […]

As you begin to dive deeper into your intentional living journey, you’ll realize that there are fewer and fewer things you’re willing to compromise on. Things that feel less intentional or don’t add intentional value to your life are no longer necessary—this goes for friendships too. The people you choose to keep around you have […]

Spring Cleaning: an annual purging many participate in to clear out belongings we no longer need, clothes we no longer wear, and things we no longer use. But what else does Spring Cleaning do for us? It’s not just a physical purge of items sitting in the back of your closet or under your bed […]

Do you remember learning the laws of thermodynamics when you were in elementary school? The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The exact amount of energy that pre-existed humans is the same amount of energy today. The same law applies to spiritual energy. In the spiritual conversation, this […]

Everything in life requires a balance of some sort; an equal give and take, push and pull, right and left. For us to know that we’re happy, we must experience sadness. We must know what the opposite of one thing is to know we’re experiencing the other. Balance, in many instances, can be relative. What […]

We are all divine. Just as we are all inherently worthy and abundant—we are divine. To be divine does not mean to reach a higher level of self-awareness or be more in touch with your higher self; it is simply your existence. I recently learned this myself having Jen Cortlandt on the Do the Damn […]

The Law of Attraction abides by the concept that your external reality is a reflection of your internal. What determines your internal reality? Your thoughts. What you think about yourself, specifically when you’re dating, is what who you’re dating will think of you too. Dating has a laundry list of connotations connected to it–complicated, hard, […]

It’s been a bit since we went back to our roots of what it means to truly live intentionally. I figure it’s probably best to update this ongoing conversation with some 2022 Positive Habits. We touch on this topic every few months because just as we evolve, change and grow, our habits and lifestyle should […]
