Life IS A CONSTANT JUGGLING ‘ act'

THE MODEL-TURNED ENTREPRENEUR SPEAKS TO WHO ABOUT MOTHERHOOD, MINDFULNESS AND MOVING BACK TO AUSTRALIA

She may have spent the better part of the past decade on the other side of the world, but Lara Worthington admits that returning to Australia earlier this year felt “in some ways … like I never left”. “This is the first time we’ve been here altogether, so it’s been nice to be able to see it through their eyes,” she previously shared of returning to home soil.

Having arrived Down Under with her actor husband Sam, 44, and their three boys – Rocket, 6, Racer, 4, and 15-month-old River – in tow in January, the model-turned entrepreneur was ready to leave lockdown life in Los Angeles behind and enjoy the sun and fresh air that Oz has to offer. And while that may have not gone entirely to plan – with Sydney currently in the midst of another COVID-19 outbreak – Worthington has been able to find her groove being back home. The 34-year-old has taken the opportunity to collaborate with several much-loved Aussie brands, most recently, as a beauty ambassador for wellness brand Swisse.

The company’s integrated approach to health is something that really resonates with the mum-of-three. Spending much of her 20s “centred on body issues”, Worthington says that having a baby changed her body for the better and she now approaches her health and beauty from the inside out. “It’s all about a balance of mindfulness, good nutrition and finding time for that daily movement,” she tells WHO.
