THE 12-WEEK SELF-STUDY JOURNEY

Rooted

Understand what has shaped you.
Rewrite the stories that keep you stuck.

You may already know what you want to change. But have you understood what’s keeping the old patterns in place?

You might know you’re capable, yet still second-guess yourself, seek approval, hold back, or find yourself repeating familiar patterns.

Rooted is a guided journey into your inner world—your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and the stories that have shaped you. You’ll begin to understand where your patterns came from and learn to make choices from a steadier sense of who you are.

You might recognise yourself here

You constantly read the room, calculate how you’ll come across, and adjust yourself to fit what you think is expected.

You overprepare, overdeliver, and take on more than your share, because doing less feels risky. It’s exhausting, always having to prove you’re good enough.

You’ll stand up for your team and your work without hesitation, yet find it surprisingly hard to stand up for yourself.

You know some of your patterns all too well. You’ve promised yourself you’ll handle it differently next time. Then the moment comes, and you fall back into the familiar.

Understanding what shaped you is only the beginning. Now you want to question what you’ve come to believe about yourself, and begin writing a different story.

Hi, I’m Lara.

After two decades working my way up to senior leadership in a global corporation, I knew how to be capable, responsible, and successful at work. What took me much longer to understand was the inner world underneath all of that—the self-doubt, the adapting, the need to get things right, and how easily I could trust my capability without always trusting myself.

Today, my work at Root2Rise helps capable women look beneath those patterns, understand themselves more deeply, and develop the self-trust to bring more of who they really are into the way they work, lead and live.

Rooted is the journey I created to help you do that work more deeply—with the time and space to understand yourself, question the stories that have shaped you, and discover what becomes possible beyond them.

Begin by understanding the patterns.
Make room for a different story.
