The articles

The La.Rue Articles are a collection of years worth of advice, thoughts, and musings gathered together to inspire women entrepreneurs to live an intentional life and build intentional businesses

Lauren created the Articles (formally known as the blog) over three years ago. The Articles were originally developed as a space for Lauren to share her experiences and employ her voice to create a narrative that was all her own. Documenting her journey with intentional living and entrepreneurship, her dreams grew and her business expanded.

As time went on, Lauren nurtured her intentional living journey, carrying aspects of it over into every facet of her business, including the blog. She used that opportunity to create an ongoing journal of being a woman in entrepreneurship with the desire to combine intentionality under both umbrellas of life and business. The La.Rue Articles are curated with various topics, including intentional living, lifestyle development, entrepreneurship, and personal stories from Lauren. Our hope in sharing this collection of articles is to empower you with the tools, resources, and community to live an intentional life and run an intentional business.

Welcome to Quarter TWO of 2023! Holy cow! How did we already get here? I don’t know about you, but time is truly flying by this year. I’m so excited to be wrapping up quarter one and moving into quarter two of 2023! This specific time of year is a sweet spot of excitement for […]

Charge Your Worth

explore more

How to charge your worth is an essential conversation in the entrepreneurship space. It can feel so awkward for someone beginning their own business to try and place a numerical value on their worth. However, charging your worth and articulating why the investment is worth it is critical to running a successful business. Three things […]

Leave behind the energy

explore more

It can be difficult, if not impossible, to leave behind any negative energy you were feeling yesterday. It’s easy to let emotions carry over one day after another. After all, this is inevitably how we reach periods of “stuckness” or moments where things are just a little off. Emotions aren’t something we should ever distance […]

Romanticize Your Life

explore more

There’s a lot of controversy around romanticizing your life. A few years ago, a small movement began around the topic on social media. People found ways that could romanticize the little things that would make their day-to-day better. But as the movement grew, it become more about materialism and less about shifting your mindset. Last […]

Our lives are at a constant ebb and flow to the experiences and opportunities around us. But as we grow older, it seems our responsibilities as adults consume more and more of our time, and we have less time to “ebb” and “flow.” Our jobs, relationships, family, and friends take up most of our time; […]

Self-accountability can be challenging regarding our goals or resolutions for the year. So this year, I promised to update you on […]

Branding isn't targeting ideal client

explore more

Your branding is the bread and butter of your business. It’s the culmination of the why, the who, and the what—why you do what you do, who you serve, and what it does for them. Branding is far more than just a pretty color palette or a cool logo. Your branding should speak to your […]

Signs from the Universe

explore more

In truth, I believe we’re constantly in receiving mode. We’re always receiving and consuming messages, content, information, data, etc., and processing it as best we know how. It’s not a matter of if we’re receiving, but how we’re interpreting the information or signs coming in. There are simple signs or messages we receive daily that […]

Conscious Thinking

explore more

What does it mean to practice conscious thought? Does it mean active thinking? Does it mean engaging with your thoughts? Conscious thinking is actively engaging with your thoughts and being aware of their effect on you. Conscious thinking for you might mean actively engaging with your thoughts and having the awareness to address why you […]

Side hustle into a full-time business

explore more

Turning your passion project into a full-time gig isn’t easy. Like all career shifts, it requires us to pivot into a new role. Perhaps you’re formerly a student turned entrepreneur, or you’re leaving your corporate position to become your own boss. Either way, moving from the role of a side hustle into a full-time business […]

How to Follow your Dreams

explore more

When it comes to conversations about dreams, the word scary brings an entirely different context to the table. Instead of fearing something like a scary movie, we’re in fear of growth, success, and change. We say our dreams feel scary for two reasons: one, the journey to achieving that dream brings natural highs and lows. […]

2023 Your Best Year

explore more

Setting New Years Resolutions each year should be like making yourself a promise for a better life. Every December, we reflect on where the year has taken us and what we’ve achieved (or haven’t). And as the new year approaches, we decide (once again) what about our lives we’d like to change. We adjust the […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am incredibly grateful for this community and all of you who show up for this important content. I hope you had a wonderful holiday, ringing in the New Year with excitement and goals for 2023. As we were leading up to the New Year, I reflected on how much my life […]

Fear of Entrepreneurship

explore more

Entrepreneurship is a journey that, like most, requires a lot of faith in the uncontrollable. There is so much uncertainty and so much we leave up to faith when we become entrepreneurs. This journey requires an unbounded trust in the Universe and in yourself, a belief that everything will happen as it should when it […]

Change Your Life in 2023

There were many moments leading up to my Intentional Living journey that triggered a need for change. But it wasn’t until one day, when everything felt hopeless, that my journey to a new life began. If you want to hear that story, listen to the Pilot episode of the Do the Damn Thing Podcast. But […]

Train Your Brain to be Optimistic

explore more

There are three types of people in this world: Optimists, Pessimists, and Realists. Pessimists think that optimists have a blindness to reality. Optimists usually think that pessimists only see the harsher sides of things. And realisits sit somewhere in the middle of negativity and positivity. However, all three of these traits have one thing in […]

find your purpose as an entrepreneur

explore more

Someone once told me, “Not every talent needs to be a business.” And while I think that can be true, it should never deter you from creating a business because of your unique talent; that’s why side hustle’s exist. When you have a unique talent that isn’t necessarily full-blown business ready, you start a side […]

Behind The Articles

The Articles were the first content platform to launch at La.Rue. Lauren spent most of her time nurturing the blog and building out a wide variety of content. If you’ve followed the Blog (now Articles) for a while, you may have noticed the dramatic shift in content about a year into its inception. Like many, Lauren faced fears in launching an online forum where she would openly, honestly, and candidly share her experiences with the world. It took some time to open up and shift the content to focus on healing, mindset building, and lifestyle changes. And now, the collection of the La.Rue Articles serves as documentation of one person’s growth, and the musing she serves that aid in the growth of the masses. 

Who They Serve

The La.Rue Articles are for women on the journey to heal their mind to live a more intentional life. Lauren built La.Rue on the belief that women can “have it all.” As entrepreneurs, we’re taught that we have to give up our personal lives for our business to succeed. That we have to delicate everything we have for the potential to reach success. But, Lauren believed there was a way to have both. To live an intentional life and build an intentional and successful business. Lauren nurtured her belief in this over time, documenting her journey on intentionality every step of the way. Every single article she’s written has been for the women who do (or want to) believe in the same. The La.Rue Articles are for every women entrepreneur seeking to build an successful business while maintaining an intentional life.
