What does it mean to live intentionally? You are the person to define this. The La.Rue Articles are here to help you discover your meaning behind what it means to live intentionally, offering an abundance of resources, advice, and anecdotes on how to do so. We can read the literature behind a purpose-driven lifestyle—in fact, we have. We can do the research, consume the self-help books and podcasts; but, at the end of the day, it's up to you to define what it means to live intentionally, and how you do it.
The word intentionality is the backbone to the entire La.Rue brand, every piece of content created, service offered, and paragraph written has been done so with intent. Our goal with the Intentional Living Articles is to help you make an informed—but autonomous decision on what it means to live an intentional lifestyle.

Your South Node sits exactly 180 degrees opposite of your North Node on your birth chart. It represents where your karmic journey has begun and what gifts you’re bringing into your present life from past experience. As I’ve been learning the ropes of astrology and joining the fanfare of reading birth charts, I thought I’d […]

We all know (and offer a little love to) those toxic habits we keep on reserve that delay us from healing. So, why do we keep them around? Toxic habits stick around in our daily lives because they keep us safe and comfortable. They don’t ask us to address what’s “really going on” under the […]

Write | Inspire | Dream We are all inherently worthy of the success we desire. There is no outside force beyond ourselves that can bring us the success we desire. There is no job, no income, and no person who will somehow fulfill what we’re lacking. On Wednesday’s Do the Damn Thing Podcast, I talked […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Having compassion is something I don’t think many people struggle with. Having self-compassion is something I think everyone struggles with.

Write | Inspire | Dream It can be difficult to define our goals within a timeline. We don’t want to give ourselves too much space to where our motivation can die out, and we fall under the mindset of, I have “plenty” of time; therefore, I don’t need to work on it now. But, we also don’t […]

Write | Inspire | Dream In recent months, I’ve been reading a great deal of literature on emotional freedom, manifesting, and reaching higher energy vibrations by experiencing subconscious breakthroughs with negative emotions.
