“

I’ve gained new perspectives on life and found hope for joy and peace.

“When I first began the conversation with Larisa, I was in a space of hopelessness. I didn't know that I was worthy of support, and I was struggling. A moment of realization that something had to change struck me, I wiped tears from my face as I began the call with Larisa. 6 months later, I've gained a community of love and support. I've gained new perspectives on life and found hope for joy and peace!”

Kayla Muldoon

If you’re a purpose-driven professional who’s feeling exhausted from carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, I’d invite you to consider…

That you can create a positive impact in the world AND experience clarity, confidence, focus, energy and ease at home, at work and in life.

You don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. It’s not either / or. You get to have both.

You get to have it all… and you don’t have to do it all, people please them all, or give up all your energy and your power in the process.

This means that yes, YOU too can:

Sleep well at night knowing you did your best AND that your best is more than good enough…
Prioritize health and self-care AND have plenty of time and energy left for all the other important stuff…
Earn an incredible living AND do it without all the anxiety, exhaustion, burnout, and overwhelm…
Enjoy meaningful, joyful, respectful relationships AND choose and love you first…
Communicate and honor your needs so you can take better care of yourself AND your loved ones…
Thrive in your work as you fulfill your purpose AND protect your boundaries, energy, peace, and joy…

Bottom line:

You can make a positive impact in the world AND make good money AND have great personal and professional relationships AND take care of yourself AND just feel good again…

however YOU choose to define all of that.

Peace, presence, and creating the impact you desire are not only possible,
they’re probable and in fact, they’re within your power… with More of What Matters.

Learn nervous system regulation practices to help you be in a state of joy, gratitude and peace regardless of what’s going on around you

Her demeanor and prompting reflects her education in trauma-informed care.

"I entered Strong by Nature’s group coaching program physically and emotionally overwhelmed and burnt out. My stress was at such a high point that it was showing up medically. Larisa is absolutely brilliant. Her demeanor and prompting reflects her education in trauma-informed care. Any conversation that she is a part of leaves you feeling clear and empowered."

We don't even realize that we're struggling until somebody actually asks how are you doing.

"All I would say is with everything going on in the world sometimes we don't even realize that we're struggling until somebody actually asks how are you doing. Larisa's questions changed my life and I think she can change yours too. Just give it a try."

Melissa Barnes

Hello and welcome!

I’m Larisa Harrington,
She / Her

As a wife, a mom of two, business owner and 20+ year Air Force Veteran, I understand what it takes to go out there every day and try to give all of your heart to everything you do.

My life is a daily balancing act of trying to prioritize health, nurturing important relationships, being a good human, trying to raise good humans, running a business that is deeply connected to my sense of purpose in the world, being an Executive Leadership & Well-Being Coach, Consultant and Trainer, trying to give back and volunteer…

It’s a lot… and managing all that could easily take every ounce of energy and power if I’m not careful.

I love helping others lead peaceful, prosperous, purpose-filled, fulfilling lives.

Leveraging my 20+ years experience, dozens of trainings and certifications, and thousands of hours with clients, I've created a signature framework that combines my expertise in strategy, coaching and holistic healing to help you create the life of your dreams.

I believe with all my heart that the world NEEDS you to be your best self.

And I can’t wait to support you on your journey to peace, presence and productivity.

Let’s normalize living a life of peace, presence and productivity.

We live in a world that glorifies hustle culture and toxic productivity no matter what the cost.

A world where chronic stress, exhaustion, and overwhelm are so omnipresent that people often wear them as a badge of honor.

As kind-hearted high-performers who give so much of ourselves to everything we do, it’s no surprise we’re so highly susceptible to burnout as we use our gifts to make a positive impact in the world.

Especially when you add into the mix our tendencies for perfectionism, people-pleasing, putting ourselves last, overcommitting, and (somehow) overdelivering anyways...

We are Strong By Nature after all. We never let the people who rely on us down… even if we grind ourselves down to nothing in the process.

And as happy as I am that, as a culture, we’ve started to normalize talking openly about these challenges… that does not mean that we have to let them become our new normal.

Let’s normalize accepting that we need and deserve the same care and support we give so generously to others. Let’s normalize choosing to nurture, heal, and grow ourselves first.

And let’s normalize creating abundant health, love, peace, ease, and joy in our lives so that we make an even greater impact in this world.

The good news is that there’s a way to help us do exactly that.

It's time for MORE... Peace, Presence and Productivity

We make time for what we value. We make time for what's important. For most of us, we have made time to take care of others and do good in the world to the neglect of our own health and happiness. When we invest in the right things, we are more efficient and productive so we get more done in less time.

It's time to invest in yourself so that you have the focus, energy, clarity and confidence to live your purpose and enjoy your life. It's TIME.

Maintain clarity of your values, vision, strengths, and goals

Maintaining clarity around your values, vision, strengths, and goals is essential for living and leading with intention and purpose. Regularly reflecting on what truly matters to you makes it easier to make decisions that align with your authentic self, leading to greater fulfillment in both your personal and professional life. This clarity helps you set meaningful goals, prioritize effectively, and take actions that move you closer to your vision. By understanding your strengths, you can focus on the areas where you can have the most impact, leading to higher performance and a sense of accomplishment. As a leader, clarity in these areas grounds you and inspires those around you, fostering a culture of impact and excellence.

Optimize your well-being and performance

Optimizing your well-being is key to sustaining high performance without sacrificing your health or relationships. When you prioritize self-care, energy management, and work-life harmony, you create a foundation for long-term success. By developing habits that support your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being, you not only enhance your own performance but also set a positive example for others. This holistic approach to success ensures that you avoid burnout and maintain the energy and focus needed to excel in all areas of life. Leaders who invest in their well-being are more effective, resilient, and able to lead from a place of strength and stability, creating a ripple effect of well-being for those around them.

Regulate your nervous system and emotions

Embracing continuous learning and connection is essential for staying adaptable, innovative, and inspired. In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to evolve is what keeps you relevant and effective as a leader. Lifelong learning—both professionally and personally—ensures that you remain open to new ideas and opportunities. By surrounding yourself with a supportive community, you gain fresh perspectives, maintain accountability, and find inspiration through meaningful connections. Leaders who prioritize growth not only enhance their own potential but also cultivate a culture of curiosity and collaboration, empowering their teams to evolve and thrive in an ever-changing landscape.

Evolve through continuous learning and connection

“We rise together.” “We are stronger together.” “We thrive in community.” Those statements are only true when we are surrounded by the right people. Our Peace, Presence and Productivity community is for kind-hearted people who care about making a positive impact in the world. It’s for people who still love and respect others even when there are differences. It’s for people who care about humans, animals and the environment. When we are around the right people, we can feel safe to heal, grow and win together.

“

I now have the skills and the strategy...

"I used to wake up with panic attacks, always thinking and always worrying. I no longer do that. I now have the skills and the strategy and I now can put it into language and I know what I'm feeling. Beforehand I didn't have that. I just knew that it was overwhelming and that I felt like I was drowning."

How you’ll find Peace, Presence & Productivity

The first step towards experiencing clarity, confidence, focus, energy and ease starts with knowing you are worthy and investing time in yourself every single day.

There is a sacredness within this group...

“

“When I first began, I was very concerned about the people in the group — could I trust they're not going to put stuff about me out on social media?

But I quickly saw that there’s a sacredness within the group and it truly is a safe space where I find so much support, safety, love, and joy. I’ve shown up to the group crying and choking on my words because what was coming up was so painful and raw. And through all those times, I’ve found love and support and honesty and skills to help me move forward which is so important to me. Before this, I was used to people telling me that I was too much, but I’m never too much here. I’m always as I should be in the moment, and because of that, this group has helped me unearth ME.

Not me the business person, or the mother, or the wife, or the daughter… but I’ve uncovered the essence and the power that is me and learned how to take care of that little girl inside of me in addition to taking care of the other phases of my life.”

Larisa kept me accountable in such a safe and gentle manner.

"WOW! The true meaning of CLARITY is Larisa Harrington! I thought I knew what it meant but boy did I embody it after just one phone call with her. I was blown away with actionable steps that I ACTUALLY, REALLY took and achieved! Larisa kept me accountable in such a safe and gentle manner. Her kind demeanor helped get my creative juices flowing so much that I had no idea I had it in me. She showed me the way and I DID IT! I’m on my way to launching 2 visions in just 2 days of speaking with her.

IS THAT CLARITY or what, I ask? I’m still in a little bit of shock while writing this as it has taken me years of idealizing and never putting to action and bearing the fruit. The time has arrived. It arrived the day I had the call with Larisa. Thank you!!"

Unconditional support on your journey toward productivity, presence and peace

Being a high-achieving kind-hearted person who genuinely cares about humanity and the impact you make in the world, who is working hard to create a positive impact…

Who is the strong one in the family, the one that people lean on for support, the one everyone looks to lead in times of challenge, the one who has it all together…

Can be isolating at times.

That’s because beneath the surface we often feel intense pressure to do it all, have it all, and be everything for everyone. And it’s long past time we agree that it’s unreasonable to expect that we can do all that.

We deserve support too.

We need a safe and non-judgmental space to share our challenges and celebrate our wins; to laugh, cry, or process whatever emotion we’re feeling; to take up space and hold compassionate space for others; to be validated, understood, cheered for, consoled, witnessed… unconditionally.

We are Strong By Nature AND we also need someone to be strong for us.

This group is awesomeness and it changed my life.

I did individual coaching with Larisa first and that was uncomfortable for me because I knew she was going to hold me accountable. And then I moved into group coaching and honestly, that was even more beneficial for me because I learn from other people. I feel so comfortable here pouring out my soul, I honestly don’t even know where I would be without this group. I can’t say enough praise about this group. It’s awesomeness and it changed my life, literally. From feeling depressed and like I was not handling life, to why am I feeling this way, to my past, to coming full circle and figuring stuff out and the community helping me and now being able to better support myself and my family. My Aunt even commented about how positive I am all the time. It was neat to see a family member recognize that within me, not that I need that, but it felt good. (Shared from a video testimonial)

If you’re reading this and you find yourself completely stressed out and beyond exhausted, you’re not alone. Many Impact Makers are.

Many are dealing with constant aches, pains, and tension in their bodies, battling chronic illness, wrestling with anxiety and depression, getting into constant battles in their home life, struggling at work or in business…

But let me be clear… relief is possible. Healing is possible. Hope is possible.

And freedom, peace, and joy in your health, relationships, and business are probable… when you prioritize More of What Matters.

This blueprint can help the impact maker whose health is suffering, who doesn’t sleep well, who is in a heightened state of tension all the time… but who has no time for self-care.

It can help the high-achiever who is struggling to balance all the things they “should” do given the different hats they wear: parent, partner, adult child, friend, leader, giver, doer, strong one, socially conscious human.

It can help the purpose-driven, perfectionist, people-pleasing entrepreneur who has difficulty recognizing what is “good enough”, who regularly sacrifices boundaries, over commits, and burns out.

It can help the kind-hearted person who cares so deeply about their loved ones and their community and just wants to have their needs understood so they can be cared for deeply in return.

For the people who are Strong By Nature, who want to believe that there is another way to experience abundance in life, love, health, and business AND still make a positive impact in the world…

There is another way. And I’m inviting you to join us and take it.

“

I knew that it was a safe place that I could go with no judgment.

"There were days I didn't want to show up in the state that I was in but I knew that even days where I was a wreck, I knew that it was a safe place that I could go with no judgment. I've not felt judged a second I've been in that group no matter the form I show up in and that's so empowering to know that I deserve connection and love and grace no matter where I am in life, no matter what stage I'm in or what's happening in my life at that moment. It's been unbelievably beautiful."

I don’t spend money on myself but I knew I needed this.

“Before joining, my only hesitation was around how much it was going to cost — I don’t spend money on myself. But I had this gut feeling that this was what I needed to do. I brought it up to my husband — not because I was scared or asking permission, but because I wanted his support on it. That’s when he reminded me how much I spend on skincare and told me to go for it. When I think about it, I think the real hesitancy was that I wouldn’t stick with it because I’m not good at sticking with things and I’ve never done something like this before. But I think investing in me made me motivated. I didn’t want to let myself or my husband down. It was scary, exciting, fun, and motivating, and I’m so glad I did it.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this program live?

Yes. While you do receive access to on-demand learning and self-care practices to supplement your healing journey if those resources appeal to you, there are options to be live in community every week.

When are the calls for this program?

We offer various sessions each week so you can find what best works for you. Sessions are typically 30-45 minutes long and held at 8:45 AM, 10:15 AM or noon ET. The schedule is shared in advance so you can plan ahead. All calls are hosted on Zoom in ET and all are recorded so you have the ability to watch the replay. You can see our current schedule here.

What happens if I miss a live call?

Life happens and missing calls happens. To get the best results, we recommend adding sessions to your calendar so you can attend live. However you have access to recordings and can still benefit from watching the replays. If you know that none of the typical times will work for your schedule but you know this is the right program for you, contact me at [email protected] and we can look into adding a new session time slot to accommodate your schedule.

What is the time investment for this program?

We know that making a big commitment when you’re already overwhelmed can be a lot to take in. Our clients who achieve maximum benefits often work up to incorporating 30 minutes of self-care time per day which usually looks like meditation, journaling and/or movement, and also prioritize attending 1 group session per week. That said, we also recognize and firmly believe that ANY time you have to prioritize YOU is time well spent.

Are there any guarantees in terms of outcomes I can expect?

At Strong By Nature, we value authenticity and it would not be in integrity if we were to say that we promise or guarantee any particular outcome because whether or not you show up for yourself in this coaching program is outside of our control. That said, we wholeheartedly believe that if you commit to yourself, if you prioritize attending the group calls, and if you approach this work with an open mind and open heart… you can completely transform your life and trade scarcity, exhaustion and overwhelm for peace, prosperity, and a life you love!

How long after joining before I see results?

Everyone’s experience is different, however all current and past clients have noticed shifts in their first week of being in the program. Sometimes the shifts are small like just feeling a little lighter because they recognize that they aren’t alone. Or going to sleep a little easier and with a little less anxiety by utilizing one of our on-demand sleep meditations. Or feeling proud of themselves for maintaining a boundary.

How long should I expect to be in the membership?

Everyone’s circumstances and experiences are different. There are some clients that join the membership knowing that they are only committing to 3 or 6 months from the beginning and take full advantage of every single resource that’s available. They have other support systems and communities in their life and feel comfortable transitioning out of the membership once they’ve gotten the jumpstart they needed.

Other clients have remained in the program for years because they value the ongoing resources and enjoy being in a welcoming, judgement-free community. Some clients know that this investment is a non-negotiable in their budget and never want to leave. There are no judgements or expectations on how long you remain in the program. You can cancel your membership at any time by giving a 30-day notice.

What is the cancellation and refund policy?

This is a month-to-month membership with no long-term contract. There are no refunds and all purchases are final. You are free to cancel your membership at any time with a 30-day written cancellation notice.

You will probably LOVE More of What Matters if you:

Know in your gut that you are worthy of life you love, even if it’s buried under a lot of societal conditioning and past trauma that’s trying hard to convince you otherwise.
Feel called to make a positive impact in the world and are always exhausted because of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and trying to do it all.
Identify with many important roles such as a parent, partner, leader, giver, doer, strong one, purpose-driven entrepreneur, and are excited to fulfill those roles with more ease.
Accept the belief (even if doing so feels strange) that exhaustion and overwhelm are not mandatory and hope that another possibility is waiting for you.
Read the books and did the trainings on personal development and know deep down that you can’t keep pouring from an empty cup and are ready to do something about it.
Can receive and consider advice that may not always be what you want to hear, knowing it comes from a place of deep love and desire for you to heal.
Understand that as uncomfortable as healing and growth can be, you know that staying where you are is more uncomfortable and no longer serving you.
Are willing to invest in something that YOU need, even if it’s scary, because you know it’s an investment in your health, your relationships, your business, and your future.

You will probably not love More of What Matters if you:

Reject the belief that every person deserves to experience a life of freedom, peace, and joy and would be bothered to be in a diverse group where people use pronouns.
Refuse to see that as busy as you are, you probably do have 15-20 minutes a day to focus on yourself it just may mean less Netflix and doomscrolling on social media.
Know all there is to know about mindfulness, meditation, trauma healing, and self-care practices and have no desire to learn or grow more.
Genuinely believe that this is the best your life is ever going to get and that making an impact and burnout go hand in hand.
Think that overcoming a lifetime of people-pleasing and perfectionism is going to be an easy or quick fix.

Time, health, love, and joy are abundant in my life again.

“When I joined this program, my life was spiraling out of control no thanks to a health diagnosis that was affecting everyone and everything around me and taking me down with it… and I was so afraid. I was afraid I wouldn’t get dedicated time or support to help me solve MY problems. Failure was not an option and I didn’t have time for cookie-cutter coaching. I was also afraid, given how exhausting it is to be a toddler mom, an entrepreneur, and someone battling for their health… that I didn’t have the time or energy to do the work needed to get the results I wanted. But very quickly, all my fears melted away because this program exceeded every expectation and then some.

I get coaching on each call that meets ME where I’m at and is unique to whatever is going on with ME that day. On top of that, I get to learn while listening to others and apply the coaching they receive to my life which I did not expect. And between the inherent accountability in this type of group and the newfound clarity I have on how important I AM, I enjoy making time for self-care and the other mindfulness habits I’ve learned. They’re now nonnegotiable practices for me because they help me feel better, help me get more done, help me be more creative in my work, and help me be the person I want to be for those I love. It’s amazing to recognize that I was in such a dark place not long ago, to now feel that time, health, love, and joy are abundant in my life again… and it has been such a blessing.”
