About By Raina L

I’m Raina — and this is the space I needed but couldn’t find

A quiet, honest corner of the internet where I could be myself while figuring it all out.

Before I created By Raina L, I was just trying to piece life together — navigating emotional burnout, healing years of self-doubt, and learning how to truly take care of myself from the inside out.
This brand didn’t come from a place of having it all figured out. It came from real-life experiences — the kind that break you open, stretch you, and slowly bring you back home to yourself.

Through journaling, reflection, nervous system healing, messy breakthroughs, and soft rebuilds, I’ve learned that self-growth isn’t something you chase — it’s something you live through.

So I made this space for us.
For the real ones who are doing the inner work and building something beautiful out of it. For the women who are ready to walk forward with more clarity, softness, and soul.

If you’re growing through it, I’m here with you.

Let’s do it together.

My life’s foundation

Self-Growth isn’t just what I talk about — it’s how I live

It’s not just what I write about — it’s what I return to, daily.

This space was born from my own self-growth journey — one filled with deep healing, inner shifts, and quiet rebuilds that no one saw but changed everything.

To me, self-growth isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you’ve always been — before the pressure, the noise, and the self-doubt.

Here, I share the truths I’ve lived through. The tools that helped me reset. The stories that shaped me. And the soft reminders I needed when I was learning how to trust myself again.

This isn’t a blog that tells you what to do. It’s a space that reflects what’s possible — when you finally choose you.

So take what resonates, explore what calls you in, and know that you don’t have to “fix” yourself to grow.

You just have to come home to yourself. And I’ll meet you there.

The Story Behind

My Journey

January 15th , 1996

The Beginning

Born with a curious mind, a quiet strength, and a deep love for understanding the world. Even as a child, I found comfort in writing, reflecting, and making sense of life through stories and self-expression.

2016

A time of self-discovery

A period of growth, uncertainty, and big questions. I was learning who I was, what I wanted, and how to trust myself—even when the path felt unclear. This was the year I truly started reflecting on my purpose, even when I didn’t have all the answers.

2024

The year By Raina L was created

After years of self-growth, journaling, and deep reflection, I knew I wanted to create something bigger than myself—a space to share the insights I’ve gained, where others could navigate growth, healing, and self-discovery with intention. By Raina L was born from a deep passion to inspire, to share what I’ve learned, and to remind you that your journey is yours to shape.
