Hello! I'm Lara Charles.

With vulnerability and endless curiosity, I write to explore life's deeper threads.
MY BOOK

About me

I’m Lara Charles - an Australian mama to four kiddos, writer, cancer-thriver and truth-seeker, currently living on Darkinjung country in NSW. Through my newsletter and in print, I write reflective, thought-provoking personal essays and poems that delve deep into the nuances of our inner human life. My writing has been featured nationally and internationally. Welcome! If you're a curious soul like me - trying to fit self-inquiry between doctor appointments, work and shuttling the kids to school - I get it. My words are for you. My words are for anyone with deep questions and an open heart.

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."
