The story behind the work

LaRae Wright spent the better part of two decades building a successful career in the finance industry — climbing, achieving, and discovering that none of it was giving her what she actually needed. The credentials were real. The success was real. And so was the growing sense that she was performing a version of herself that had nothing to do with who she actually was.

That dissonance became the beginning of everything. She began asking different questions — not "how do I succeed?" but "who am I when the performance stops?" And in asking those questions, she found her real work.

Today LaRae writes and teaches at the intersection of conscious relationships, self-discovery, and personal transformation. Her debut book, co-written with Scott Wright, Love After the Life Is Built, explores the mirror dynamic at the heart of every intimate relationship — the ways the people closest to us reflect back who we are and who we haven't yet allowed ourselves to become.

She co-hosts The Observatory podcast with her partner Scott Wright, where they explore consciousness, awareness, and authentic living in weekly conversations that have earned a devoted global following of 189 episodes and a perfect 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts.

When she's not writing or recording, LaRae is traveling, reading, and living the very questions she asks her readers to sit with.
