That said, she’s also got an incredible story of resilience through loss, fighting for her own life, and starting her own business with literally not much more than the clothes on her back and her laptop. She is the definition of grit and resilience! Over and above that, she is fiercely loyal and cares deeply for her family and friends always - without question. I’m honored to know her and continue to be inspired by her. If YOU are ever looking to be inspired, I cannot speak highly enough about Lara and give her my strongest recommendation!”
