Lauri-Ann Ainsworth
is an author, writer and speaker whose work explores self-discovery and creative courage through writing, storytelling and reflection.
Her curiosity about the stories we carry has followed her through leadership, entrepreneurship, motherhood and her own creative life. Writing became a way to understand herself more deeply—a practice that helped shape her book, The Self-Love Mindset.
Today, that exploration continues through her books, essays, talks, workshops and creative experiences.
WHAT I DO
Through writing, storytelling and reflection, my work explores self-discovery and creative courage: understanding ourselves more deeply, finding our voice and making room for what we feel drawn to express and create.
That exploration takes shape through my books, essays, talks, workshops and creative experiences.
I explore the stories we tell and how they shape who we are, how we live and what we contribute.
MY PHILOSOPHY FOR LIVING, LEADING & CREATING
LOVE YOURSELF
Take care of the person doing the living.
KNOW YOURSELF
Pay attention to who you are and what your life is teaching you.
CREATE VALUE
Turn what you know into something that contributes.
MY WORK
Here’s how I create value from what life has taught me.
I make sense of my experiences through writing and creating. The stories, questions and ideas I find along the way become books, essays, talks, workshops and tools—ways to share what I’m learning and help someone else see, think or live a little differently.
THE BOOK

THE SPEAKING
Ideas meant to be heard
Ideas and stories brought to life through keynotes, conversations and workshops.
THE WRITING
The Self-Written Life
What I’m noticing, questioning and thinking about now, explored through essays.
Your life is material. Pay attention to it.
FROM THE STUDIO

Books, journals, tools, workshops, experiences and other useful things born from ideas I’m exploring.
