Deactivating Anxiety

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 20:00:27 GMT

Born into an influential high profile family. It appeared like Larissa, previously known as Lara, had life made. Yet in reality, from behind closed doors life was very different to how it appeared. Being shipped off to boarding school when home was just a five minute walk away, said it all. By high school Lara was lonely, undisciplined and off the rails. Changing her name to Larissa was her way of forgetting her past and finding her true self. A journey that led her through drugs, parties and dabbling in the Occult. Now married with children and an active Pastor, Motivational Speaker and Author. Larissa is no longer clothed in regret and anxiety, she is living a free, fulfilled and purposeful life. A transition she talks about in her recently released book ‘Deactivate Anxiety - simple strategies for claiming the life you longed for’ by Larissa DeMichiel.

MEET CHRISTY - An intelligent business woman who gives 110% to everything she does. Migrating to Australia at 4 yrs old, Christy already had the ability to speak four different languages, except for the one she really needed, English. Being a Serbian migrant to highly successful parents and learning a new language and culture at such a young age set Christy up to become the high achiever she is, with an unstoppable drive for success. The pathway to success, however, isn’t always straightforward, especially when after landing a place at her dream university came the discovery that she was pregnant. If there is one thing we learned about Christy is that no matter what life throws at her; from her almost career as an Olympic Figure Skater while graduating high school with one of the highest scores in Australia; to being a teen mum and solo supporting herself and her son. Christy proves you can have it all and go for gold in both your professional and personal life.
