Lianne Raymond

Hi. I'm Lianne. I appreciate you stopping by.

 

I'm on a mission - there's a good chance you landed here because you are, too. Whether you are longing to love yourself more, yearning for more fulfilling relationships or hoping to feel more enchanted with your life - you have found a home for those desires.

Danielle LaPorte doesn't call me Her Majesty of Questioning Just About Everything for nothing.  It is becoming obvious that the old paradigm just ain't cutting it anymore. Like fish that are unaware of the water they are swimming in, our culture is still swimming in outdated ideas that are dragging us down. These ideas are permeating your life in ways you aren't even aware of. But you're feeling it, aren't you? Like an itchy sweater you are wearing to a formal dinner you didn't even want to attend. I question it all so you can change into something comfy. And the big, juicy question I love to ask  is...

What is it to let your heart move you instead of living a life of forcefulness?

If you're not even sure what I mean by that - well, that just gets me even more excited. Cause I can't wait to show you.

Free Monthly Coaching Calls

This is something new I decided to offer starting in 2012 as part of my commitment to making coaching as accessible as possible. Though not as powerful as one-on-one coaching, these calls provide an opportunity for people who cannot afford one-on-one coaching to still benefit from some coaching - and even people who just come on the call to listen in take away valuable insights. Our individual experiences often happen to be uniquely universal. Sign up for the next free coaching call.

Daily Dose of Love and Soul

Since January of 2009 I have been sending out (almost) daily soulful/inspirational/poetic quotes designed to make you think, pause, catch your breath. Everyday I'll get an email from at least one subscriber letting me know that the quote that day was just what they needed. Join the quote lovers.

Inspiration Constellations

I am inspired by people with bright minds, beautiful writing and transformative ideas. I enjoy working on projects where I bring together these bright lights to create a constellation of brilliance.

In 2010 I designed and curated a collection of original writing and art from women like Brené Brown, Danielle LaPorte, Colleen Wainwright and Tara Hunt into a stunning e-book called What is Dying to be Born. This book was a true labour of love and I am happy to give it away freely. No email sign-up needed. It is a gorgeous, juicy piece of work that stands out in a crowd of internet freebies. I am crazy in love with this book and apparently so are others - in it's first year it was downloaded over 15,000 times. And then I stopped keeping track. Get instant access to it now.Thank me later.

In 2011 I organized a TEDx event, TEDxIsfeld, with the theme Faces of Courage. The talks from that event have been viewed over 13,000 times. You can view them all at the TED website, but I'm posting one here as an appetizer.

This is the first, the wildest
and the wisest thing I know:
that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness.
