Inspired by the concept of ‘la belle vie’, I founded my former blog, Belle By Laurelle, in 2016 with the intention to inspire and empower women in creating a beautiful life for themselves, as I shared how I sought to do so myself.
At the time, I was still a classical pianist, in a controlling and abusive marriage, and very far from knowing, let alone owning, who I was, what I wanted, and what my purpose in life was. I was depressed, disempowered, and dependent, and I didn’t know that a happy life, let alone a magical one, was even possible for me.
But after immersing myself in all things mental health, mindset, and manifestation, and radical commitment to mastering the human experience and transforming myself, my life, and my mind… a happy life with more and more moments that feel like magic is exactly what I’ve created.
It’s far from perfect, but it’s better, because it’s incredibly aligned and fulfilling. I have a beautiful relationship with myself, and as a result, have healthy and harmonious relationships with others. I know what my purpose in life is, and I’m living it out, building a career and making an impact doing what I love. I feel stable, empowered, and am living a life I only could have dreamed of even when I founded Belle by Laurelle.
So now, I continue with the same mission I started with — inspiring and empowering women in creating beautiful lives for themselves. Only now, I’m swapping beautiful for magical, and the emphasis is just as much, if not more, on the internal as the external. Because our internal state creates our external reality.
