In Season 3 episode 9, Arthi is joined by fellow Forbes Coaches Council member Lara Augusta, founder of Embracing Potentiality, talking about undoing complicated narratives. 

Lara opens  up about her family & childhood where experiences led her to create a  narrative in her mind of being an inconvenience and not belonging. This mindset stemmed from having to keep a massive family secret for her whole life and Lara goes into detail about how her family dynamic impacted her journey.

Lara has always had a natural curiosity  in learning & connecting with people from different countries & cultures, so it is no surprise that her world travels began at the tender age of 15 when she had convinced her father to allow her to attend schooling in the UK for a year. This was the first time that Lara was able to simply be herself and make her own choices. However the narrative remained the same in her thoughts.

Lara tells us how important it is to change the unproductive narrative that we carry with us and to have grace & patience with ourselves in undoing the narrative and allowing new choices to be made

Some wise words from Lara:

• “..surviving mode was not allowing me to thrive..
• “Choose yourself”
• “Honour the choices you have made”

 Listen to the full episode for so much more insights and ideas offered by my wonderful guest.
