Published Work

My work has been featured on The Huffington Post, The Today Show, Parenting.com. Scary Mommy, and Mamalode and has also been published on For Every Mom, Faithit, Club Mid, Mamapedia, Your Tango, Pathoes, Love What Matters, Women For One, All 4 Women, and other sites. In addition, much of my work has been featured on the Today Show’s social media sites and I have almost 3 million readers on my Today Show webpage. In 2015, my essay, “To the Mom at the Water Park,” was the third most viewed article on Today Parents for the year. And in subsequent years, my work has gone viral form the Today Show’s pages. I was briefly mentioned on the show in 2015 and in 2016, a video was made featuring my words as encouragement to get in the pool with our children. My work has also been reviewed online on Reader’s Digest, MSN, and other media outlets

General Endorsements:

Rachel Macy Stafford (New York Times best-selling author of Hands Free Mama, Hands Free Life, and Only Love Today): “Kara Lawler is the voice we all have in our head, but it is softer, kinder, and more accepting…so we listen closely and we hear goodness too. Kara Lawler is the eyes we all have, but she sees beyond the mess and the mayhem to see what matters most…so we look again and we see it too. Kara Lawler is the experience we all have, but she feels it in a way that makes us say, ‘Ah, ha,’ ‘I can do this,’ and ‘I am not alone.’ There is a divine presence that comes alive through Kara’s words, making us all feel a little more hopeful, a little more connected, and a little more grateful. Kara Lawler’s words have the power to heal and unite. Let us listen, see, and experience life through Kara’s words. The world will be better for it.”

Arianna Huffington (founder of Thrive and former founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post and New York Times best-selling author): “HuffPost Parents bloggers, Kara Lawler and Regan Long, have written a beautiful, inspiring collection of essays that speak to mothers at all stages of their journey.” (about A Letter for Every Mother, co-written with Regan Long)

Tori Grenz (editor for Mamalode): “Kara Lawler is an eloquent writer whose pieces explore a depth of emotion and honesty that is nearly unparalleled. She is as talented a writer as she is storyteller, and when she entwines the two, she produces pure magic.”

Laura Coffey (editor for Today Show Parents): “Kara Lawler is a beautiful writer. She has a knack for helping new moms and veteran moms to feel reassured, refreshed, and confident. Kara’s work belongs on any parent’s bookshelf.”

Regan Long (co-author with me for A Letter for Every Mother): “I’ve never stumbled upon a writer like Kara Lawler, who was such a hidden diamond in the rough, an absolute natural, as much as she was. Despite being extremely humble, her writing is outstanding and is hardly comparable to another’s; she has that much of an authenticity and original voice that she uses to reach millions. Kara’s writing style is ever so poignant and touching; it leaves people feeling moved and forever changed. Her words transcend above the parameters of what it takes to stand out as a writer in today’s world. To say she captivates her audience is a massive understatement.”
