    In this episode of our Work Well Series, we explore two exceptional platforms that take employee benefits to the next level. Modern Health and Wellable are both innovative solutions for companies designed to enrich physical, social, and mental well-being in the workplace. 

    First, Lara speaks with Nick Patel, Founder and CEO at Wellable. Wellable’s challenge library and customizable well-being in the workplace programs emphasize the need for holistic health approaches from employers. 

    Next, Lara talks with Modern Health’s Director of Clinical Research and Scientific Affairs, Dr. Jessica Waltrous, about the platform’s comprehensive mental health offerings, providing accessible care through digital content, coaching, and therapy that employers use to benefit their workforce. 

    When thinking more about overall well-being, Wellable’s holistic look into corporate wellness and Jessica’s focus on the overwhelmingly important and often overlooked topic of mental health at work will hopefully spark more attention to the programs available to employers to ensure employee wellness.

  • 20 | Small Shifts to Expand

    20 | Small Shifts to Expand

    This solo episode is dedicated to small shifts that can lead to BIG changes. This time of year can really be overwhelming, and this episode today will hopefully serve as a reminder that small shifts in life, mindset, your body, and your practice can truly make big differences.

    This week I launched Movement By Lara, the platform for all things movement, which is a BIG shift for me.

    How have I created this world that I’m in?

    I started my journey small as a Physical Therapist, which led to teaching aerobics, which then led me to teaching yoga. All of the things I learned and practiced in my P.T. world, I carried over to my teaching world, which is what helped me create this method of moving. I wanted to create something that would allow people to fully immerse in the methodology I taught. This is where the platform, Movement By Lara, enters.

    What will Movement By Lara consist of?

    It will house many things! Online training for yoga teachers, information for sessions with me, and online classes (LYT Daily).

    Now, let’s talk about overwhelm and what small shifts in your life can do to help with this difficult feeling!

    When you start to feel overwhelmed, take a deep breath, create a plan. Don’t just take that and push it to the next day, because that only extends the feeling of overwhelm. I am cheering for you!
