Cultivate: A Grace-Filled Guide to Growing an Intentional Life
A flourishing life is possible—no perfection required!
Women often feel like they have to have it all together in order to live a meaningful life. Instead, they feel inadequate, overwhelmed, and exhausted as they to figure out how to do it all. Author, business owner, and mom to three Lara Casey offers sound and grace-filled advice: “We can’t do it all, and do it well. But, we can choose to cultivate what matters.”
Welcome to the journey of getting messy in the rich soil of possibility—embracing imperfect, grace-filled progress to grow a life of joy.
Written as part encouragement anthem and part practical guide, Cultivate offers wisdom from God’s Word alongside lessons Lara has learned in her garden. Woven throughout is her personal story that helps release readers from the pressure to achieve and gives them the freedom to move from planning to planting a meaningful legacy. “It’s in the imperfect—the mess of the dirt--that good things grow,” Casey reminds readers. “Peonies grow through the dirt, and so do we.” Readers will learn to embrace the season they’re in, finding balance as they interact in fresh ways with their current life scenarios, with God, and in the communities where they are planted.

This book was so simple yet daunting to a person like me who wants to live that full life who… after 25 years of living has had a hard time doing so. This is one of those books that God leads you to and if you are lucky enough to read it, you will be impacted. :)
This book inspired me so much that I gave to my friend, who also loved it. Very real and practical with many words of wisdom on living an intentional life.
Clear guidance to how to cultivate an intentional life!
Very insightful.
I am about 2/3 of the way through the book and have really enjoyed Lara's thoughtful messages. Her story is so relatable and at times heartbreaking but reading how she managed to keep her faith and move forward is inspiring. It is worth the time spent with it.
