Meet Larissa

Meet Larissa, overseas traveller, community service worker & her wild & unpredictable hair!

“I like to see people light up when they see a solution or a glimpse of hope.”

In my daily life, I find purpose in reaching out to the homeless, deeply connecting with my community. It’s not just a job; it’s a mission, rooted in the belief that everyone deserves support. Every day, as I walk the streets, the challenges I face align with the idea that we should lift each other up. Reflecting on my journey, the joy in people’s eyes when they see a solution aligns with my commitment to making a positive impact. This passion goes beyond professional gains—it’s about empowering others and creating a community where simple acts of kindness have a profound impact.

“I’m so glad I jumped into the unknown.”

Leaving my stable retail job was a leap into the unknown, a pursuit of balance and meaning. Striving for this balance became a guiding principle in my life, a commitment to ongoing self-discovery. This journey reflects my dedication to personal growth and the idea that each of us has the power to shape our own story. It’s not about complex terms; it’s about taking risks, finding meaning, and continuously evolving.

“I have been to 20+ countries and intend to travel to many more.”

Now, I’m comfortable in my own skin. As a person in a larger body, I once wanted to change, but now I embrace myself with happiness and self-value. I’ve come to appreciate not just my unique qualities but also the amazing places my body has taken me. This journey showcases the transformative power of self-acceptance in simple, relatable terms.

“I love my hair it is wild and unpredictable.”

Let’s talk about my hair—it’s wild and unpredictable. I used to spend years straightening and styling it, but now I let it be, appreciating its natural beauty. This shift reflects a broader theme of embracing authenticity, whether in ourselves or in the untamed essence of our wild curls.

“Be kind to yourself, You are enough take time to reflect and rest.”

Dreaming of a beachside home isn’t about following trends; it’s a testament to resilience and the pursuit of a meaningful existence. Shaped by lessons learned, this journey showcases a commitment to authentic aspirations, embodying fulfillment rather than societal expectations. It’s not about complex dreams but empowering oneself to chase authentic aspirations and shape meaningful goals.
