Episode Details

Host April DeMille interviews intuitive guide and truth teller Lara Bokovay on the Own Your Essence podcast about returning to self and living in alignment. Lara shares how leaving corporate work, health exploration, divorce during the pandemic, and becoming a mother catalyzed a deep healing journey centered on self-worth, accountability, and unlearning lifelong “performing” for external reactions. She defines performing as acting to avoid abandonment or gain approval, which fuels resentment, guilt, shame, and imposter feelings, and emphasizes self-awareness and listening to bodily signals to move through discomfort faster. They discuss healing from truth versus survival conditioning, distinguishing compromise from self-abandonment in relationships through shared understanding and communication. Lara describes sacred sexuality as reconnecting safely with her body after trauma, reducing external validation needs, and honoring primal life-force energy, including six years of celibacy and later dating guided by intuition.

Lara Bokovay is a mother, intuitive, guide, and truth-teller dedicated to helping women come back to themselves. After navigating the end of her marriage, the challenges of new motherhood, and a deep personal healing journey, she now helps women uncover their authentic selves, reclaim their self-worth, and live aligned, empowered lives. Her work is rooted in intuition, presence, and radical authenticity—showing that true leadership and feminine power aren’t about performing or pleasing others, but about living from your own truth, embracing wholeness, and leading by example.
