Balancing Plates: Motherhood, Mental Health & a Career in Food with Lara Luck
Description
In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Lara Luck - a passionate food entrepreneur, mother, and mental health advocate - to explore the powerful intersections of ambition, identity, and self-discovery. From launching a career in the food industry just six weeks after giving birth to navigating the overwhelming challenges of postpartum depression, Lara opens up about the moments that shaped her both personally and professionally.
She shares how learning to accept her mental health journey, rather than fight against it, became a turning point and why giving herself grace is now one of her greatest acts of strength. Together, we unpack the lessons she’s learned about self-worth, the taboos still surrounding mental health, and her vision for a future where workplaces prioritise kindness, balance, and genuine support.
Whether you’re a parent, entrepreneur, or anyone balancing big dreams with personal battles, this conversation is a reminder that vulnerability is not weakness - it’s courage in its purest form.
