In 2019, after years working in fashion, television (MTV Spain), and independent recording artist (Anteros), I burned out. I was in a toxic relationship with myself, and as a result, the world around me. I was feeling completely disconnected from my body after so many years of putting it through anxiety, depression, and disordered eating. I felt disconnected, broken, and empty. I had been placing my entire value on my career, and chasing the unattainable idea of “success” that I’d been fed by society, magazines, and social media.
The pandemic in 2020 allowed me to take a break from music & gave me the push I needed to explore the world of mindfulness and wellbeing.
After a lifetime of trying to live up to other people’s definitions of success, I chose me. I became a learning machine, in search of tools and techniques to help me better understand myself and support my healing process. I took a deep dive into mindfulness, meditation, yoga, nutrition, and positive psychology that led me to build my own toolbox for mental and emotional resilience.
Soon enough, I started eating again. I came off of antidepressants and journeyed within to redefine the meaning of success on my own terms. I completed 500 hours in yoga & meditation training, became a certified mind & body holistic health coach, and I am soon to graduate in food emotions & psychology. As soon as I began to share my story I became aware of how many people were struggling with similar issues.
In 2023 I imagined what a life of purpose and passion would look like: I built my coaching & meditation platform, Inbody by Lala, and I returned to music on my own terms by releasing my debut solo EP, Girl Becomes.
I believe that it is my mission to use my voice to help as many people as I can through my experience, learnings, and tools- and to empower them to challenge the beliefs and fears that hold them back so they can redefine success and live the life they choose wether that be through my music or my platform.
