Laarni was 15 years old when she started to feel the “PULL.”
The Pull is when you realize that what those around you are doing, the lives they are living, the culture or religion, or whatever you were born with is NOT who You are!
It’s okay for them, but it’s NOT a fit for You.
The Pull happens when you start waking up to realization of who you truly are and you fight it, because you have ‘been conditioned’ to value the love, approval and, validation of others more than yours.
This happens because you because no one teaches us how to love ourselves. How to get to know ourselves deeply, from our likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, gifts, shortcomings, and embrace every single aspects our ourselves.
This is why we turn to drugs, alcohol, toxic relationships, why we hurt ourselves, develop addictions, and more self harming behavior, because we don’t know how to love ourselves, soothe ourselves, and give ourselves what we truly need.
That is one of our biggest challenges in life.
Learning to love yourself even when others don’t love or approve who you are and who we want to be.
Join us as we talk about Laarni's journey starting out as a misunderstood Asian-American teen who didn’t have the desire tp follow the traditional Asian woman role that her family was enforcing.
How she began cutting herself, how she went from unhealthy to unhealthy relationships, and pursued a life that made her feel like a robot, until one day she broke free and what her life has become once she decided to become true to herself and follow her heart.
She is now a competitive power lifter, a published author, and the owner of the woman empowerment company “Strong & Mighty Company”
