POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

IG, it’s been a while! 👋 I took a step back to focus on @getsuperboba & my YouTube channel, but recently someone asked me why I don’t share more about how I’m managing all the things. 
The truth is, I have a lot of things I love & do, and that’s exactly why I find it harder to post here. I kept feeling like none of it fit together. There is no “niche.” 
But I’m reminded that IS the niche: Who I am, how I live, what I’m building. Some business, some fitness, some productivity, some content tips, some faith, and whatever else I’m into. 
So if you want to see MY version of founder life, follow along! 
PS: What do you actually want to see more of? Let me know in the comments below!! IM BACK BABY 🧋 by @vanessalau.co

Exactly 1 year ago, I sat at my @alphacourse group table and confessed that I was scared to share my faith journey publicly.

Honestly, I was even scared to call myself a Christian, because I still had so many doubts and questions. 
But then I started thinking about: 
1. All the coaches I’ve worked with, and how quick I was to glorify them on my platforms (sometimes too soon, and before they’d even delivered what they promised). 
2. All the concerts and festivals I’ve been to, some for artists I didn’t even know, and how fast I was to dance, sing, and post about it (even when I wasn’t a fan of the music). 
3. All the products I’ve promoted with zero hesitation: beauty, tech, clothing, software, gyms. 
So I had to ask myself: why wasn’t I doing that for God? 
That realization is what got me to start sharing my faith more. EVEN with questions. EVEN while I’m still learning. 
Because one thing I know for sure is that God has renewed my perspective on life. 
I get a lot of comments saying I’m “glowing,” that I seem “happier,” that my energy is “different,” that I can “hold so much.” 
It’s all because of God, and because of walking alongside others who believe in Him. 
He’s the one who kept me grateful when I felt alone in my problems. He’s the one who reminds me to let go of what I can’t control and trust the plan He has for me. 
So if you’re reading this and you’re scared to share, just know that I am too!   But if we can be loud about everything else we love, we can be loud about Him too. by @vanessalau.co

Comment “LASH1” - these lashes are from @eloralashes.co (code: “VANESSALAU” for 10% off!)!! They are a new small business so go support! 🫶

I met the founder @brow.avenue at an event and she gifted me 2 boxes… then I immediately became hooked and became a customer!!

I love how fluffy the lashes are and was so impressed by how long they hold: in the shower, hard workouts, river rafting, EVERYTHING! by @vanessalau.co

“I’m not a runner” became “I hate running” and then “I don’t run”  Same with

“I suck at short form —> “I hate short form” —> “I don’t post short form”

Or  “I suck at vlogs” —> “I hate vlogs” —> “I don’t post vlogs” 
Things that I sucked at became things that I hated, and then into things I avoided.  The issue with this is then I would’ve never proven to myself that I CAN. 
Training for Hyrox is forcing me to question all labels I’ve put on myself and I now wonder:  “If I was wrong about this, what else have I decided I “can’t” do?” 
A month ago I could barely run for 10 minutes.

Now I’m running 3 to 4 times a week, and my 5K pace has gone from 7:40 to 5:54 (!!!)

It’s stretching me, and it’s not comfortable.

But I’m grateful, because the mental strength I’m building on these runs is showing up everywhere else and I’m genuinely excited for what the next 3 months has in store for me! 
Sooo that my experience as a “non runner” and ask yourself:   What’s a label you’ve been carrying that might not be full on CAP?? 🧢 by @vanessalau.co

The best business idea I ever had came from a bad habit. 
4 years ago, whenever I was craving an escape from the stresses of running a business, I’d immediately go on UberEats and order myself a bubble tea. 
After repeating this habit for months, on top of other poor lifestyle choices, I gained over 15lbs. 
Then came my big burnout, and with it a wakeup call to turn my health around, including being more mindful of what I’m putting in my body. 
I made so many healthy swaps, but still couldn’t find a proper replacement for boba. 
So my husband and I went searching for a solution, and started a business around it. 
Today, whenever I’m craving boba, I just prepare our @getsuperboba Super Pearls :) 
Super Pearls are designed to absorb any sweetener you soak them in, with zero cooking required. 
Here I added monk fruit (a zero calorie sweetener) to some warm water, soaked the pearls for 2 mins, and they turned out delicious. 
I pair them with our Superboba teas, which have adaptogens (Lion’s Mane, Maca, and Reishi) to support energy, mood & focus 🤎 
You don’t always have to go looking for a big idea. 
If there’s a problem in your life you keep waiting for someone else to solve, that might be your sign to roll up your sleeves and go find the solution yourself! by @vanessalau.co
