My Story

DEFINING MOMENTS THAT BROUGHT ME HERE

I am a woman on a mission to interrupt suffering, help others transform ways of being that no longer serve them, and generate their full freedom and aliveness.

Raised by a deeply curious family, I was encouraged to remain open and explorative. I sought and found freedom and aliveness in music, immersing myself in the hip-hop and house music scenes of 90s Chicago. By 22, I was the mother of two children, living in a volatile and insecure relationship. A year later, I was on my own, determined to create a new experience.

That period of transformation included becoming an ordained minister, serving as the CEO of Bodhi Center, speaking and performing on stages across the globe, working at some of the world’s leading financial institutions, training in several well-respected coaching methodologies, and founding multiple businesses both individually and with my husband—all culminating in my desire to challenge people to live fully alive.

These diverse and influential experiences have allowed me to see and understand the intricacies of this world from a distinct and nuanced perspective.

I have a keen ability to make sense of the moment and speak to the zeitgeist of humanity—understanding the complexities of identity and how to speak to and lead a wide range of human beings.

I am a storyteller and performer. A successful business owner and entrepreneur. An experience creator who loves crafting unexpected encounters that shake up what you thought you knew.

Most importantly, I am a woman on a mission to interrupt suffering, help others transform ways of being that no longer serve them, and generate their full freedom and aliveness. I am deeply honored you are here and thrilled to be part of your journey.

80s to 90s

This time was bursting with tension, challenges, and immense growth both personally and in the world. I felt that tension as my uncle was dying of AIDS, and my mother was leaving my father for a woman. Seeking a sense of belonging, I immersed myself in the Chicago hip-hop and house music scenes and felt inspiration and connection like never before. I became pregnant with my first child at eighteen, a plan that detoured from my family’s expectations. Lonely, scared, and incredibly resilient, I was committed to raising an extraordinary human. Two years later, I had my second child while entrenched in a volatile relationship with my children’s father. By twenty-two, I was a single mom navigating the challenges of parenthood while working desperately to survive. I lost and found myself, my place in this world, a million times over.

2000 to 2010s

This decade was a powerful chapter of great healing, bold action, and unlearning. The shift started after I heard Michael Beckwith speak; his presence changed my life. I spent three years studying with him—during which I discovered Bodhi Center, an organization dedicated to personal transformation and community building. I was immediately hooked, eventually meeting my now husband Nathan while there. Twelve weeks later, we were married. Our first eight years of marriage were a dark night of the soul, but they helped form a beautiful, strong, and electric partnership both in business and life. After a fifteen-year career, it was clear my time in corporate was winding down, and I was searching for something new. I had no plan, but I knew in my bones that I was made to serve myself and the world in a different capacity. Six months later, I became the Director of Youth and Family at Bodhi—the first step in creating a career that felt holy aligned with who I am. I eventually became the CEO and Spiritual Director, producing thousands of events for tens of thousands of people. I learned to let go of everything I’d become to return to my essence, my truth. Maybe most healing of all, my children’s father and I mended our relationship—through tireless forgiveness and honesty—arriving at a place of deep respect and appreciation for each other. The generosity and order of this exquisite universe delivered the right and perfect people, circumstances, lessons, and opportunities to evolve, grow, forgive, soften, and strengthen.

2020 to today

After many years of serving the Bodhi community, it was time to spread my wings and shift my focus. I spent an entire year recovering from the energy and output it took to lead a dynamic community at such an intense level—offering myself the rest and recentering I needed before creating something new. During this time, it became clear that to be a true contributor on the planet, I needed to make sure our family unit—and our financial future—were solid and sustainable. For us, this meant building and operating businesses that nourished our home and the world around us. For me personally, this meant explicitly developing my corporate clients and taking my organizational chops beyond the banking and real estate settings. I moved from strategic advisor to critical leader for Nathan Wright Landscape Design, doubling our revenue for two consecutive years. Together, Nathan and I birthed Nuluum, a lifestyle company anchored by a garden and gathering space dedicated to growing plants and people. And, of course, I dove headfirst into scaling Lola Wright Enterprises, a source of inexplicable joy and unbounded growth. A space where you are supported and encouraged to take responsibility for your reality and create the life you desire. I look forward to everything this next chapter has to offer and am honored to have you here with me.
