Sunday Letters on growing & becoming
Thank you for being here and a new direction
Dear subscribers,
First, thank you. Many of you joined after a note of mine unexpectedly resonated, and I'm grateful for your support while I figured out what this space would become.
I've been wrestling with whether to focus exclusively on one aspect of my life—the permaculture work, death doula practice, engineering career, or nomadic lifestyle. But I've realized that compartmentalizing doesn't feel authentic to me.
So "hey...it's me" is evolving into a weekly Sunday letter about personal growth and the messy, beautiful process of becoming. It's the conversations I wish I could have with each of you over coffee—honest reflections on what I'm learning, questioning, and discovering.
That also means it’s a conversation - a two way street. So I hope this becomes a space for you to explore your own growth too.
This newsletter will always be free from now on. I value our connection far more than monetization.
I completely understand if this new direction isn't what you signed up for. There's no obligation to stay if it doesn't resonate with where you are now. But if you choose to remain, I promise to show up every Sunday with something real.
Either way, thank you for being here for this part of the journey.
With gratitude,
Lara
Hello fren!!! I have been thinking and talking about you several times in the last week and here you are! I love the magic of the Universe and more importantly the magic of myself (even though I haven’t fully embraced that) to get this amazing email today and hear from you. I think I connect with you so deeply as a soul because of your similarities that I feel and think within myself. For example, your raw honesty of being a human and how you are processing and growing from all of life’s experiences is so wonderful and I like being honest like that too. Anyway, since talking about it over coffee isn’t an option due to distance, I am so grateful you have created this space to connect. You are always in my heart. Hope you’re doing well on this wonderous ride.
