Get to Know Zula
About Zula
Zula Works is an Austin-based coaching, education, and speaking practice for women at midlife and mid-career.
We believe the messy middle isn't a crisis. It’s an invitation...
To honor those rumbles of restlessness, frustration, and discontent.
To recognize the roles and stories that may no longer fit.
To hear what you're truly hungry for now.
And above all, to come home to your own glorious, wild, messy, brilliant, curious, fully alive self.
At Zula, our focus is integration.
Because coming home isn't about finding yet another "fix." You aren't broken.
By midlife, it's about bringing all of you back to the proverbial table:
◎ Heart and mind.
◎ Body and spirit.
◎ Rest and action.
◎ Human and Being.
◎ Who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
Because we’re all in this messy middle together.
Through coaching, programs, workshops, speaking, and content, Zula brings together practical strategies, lived wisdom, and a little well-timed woo to create space for women to get clear, lighten up, and express more.

Meet Lara Zuehlke
An award-winning writer, keynote speaker, and cheerleader for women in the messy middle of life.
Lara’s Bio
For nearly 30 years, Lara Zuehlke built a career in storytelling, communications, leadership, and creative work across agencies, universities, nonprofits, private companies, and Fortune 100 global brands.
Alongside that professional life, she spent decades exploring food psychology, wellness, movement, spirituality, creativity, and personal growth.
Eventually, she realized those weren’t separate worlds.
They were all part of the same body of work.
Today, Lara brings those experiences together to guide and champion women at midlife as they get clear about what’s true now, lighten what no longer fits, and express more of who they are becoming.
She’s fluent in woo, grounded in real life, and deeply believes it’s never too late — and you’re never too old — to write the rest of your story.
Let’s explore what’s possible.
