Hello! I'm Lara Charles.

I use words to explore life's deeper threads.
MY BOOK

About me

I’m Lara Charles—mama to four, writer, cancer-thriver, and truth-seeker—currently living at home on Darkinjung country in NSW Australia, after 17 years in beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand. Through my newsletter, book, and published works, I explore life’s deeper threads, interweaving culture, philosophy, spirituality, and science with vulnerability and endless curiosity. My writing has been featured nationally and internationally.
If you're a curious soul like me—juggling self-reflection between doctor appointments, work, and school drop-offs—you're in the right place. My words are for anyone with big questions and an open heart.
my story

AS SEEN IN

Book

An Extraordinary Ordinary Awakening is a story of finding the freedom that was hidden in my pocket all along. It is a story of life, love, motherhood, illness, transformation and finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.
"Lara’s book is beautifully written and her unique voice shines through right from the start."
"Lara has taken a dive into herself in a true and deep way."
