still BECOMING
I am not dieting; I am healing.
I am STILL BECOMING the woman
He created me to be.
Tired of the dieting roller coaster? After years of losing weight and gaining it all back, have the empty promises made by the dieting industry left you frustrated?
Laura Acuña understands. She lived the cycle of shame and defeat for almost 50 years … until the Lord set her free.
still Becoming is a 31-day devotional journal that takes you on a sacred journey where you’ll discover true freedom, and that healing, and peace have nothing to do with a number on the scale.
Join Laura and learn to re-think your struggles with disordered eating, body image, and dieting through the lens of self-compassion, and God’s grace.

What Others Are Saying...
Planning a women’s retreat with Laura Acuña is a blessing that will stay with me for years to come. Aside from her topic that was perfect for our group and her generosity in planning our retreat, it was the fellowship that we shared that made the greatest impact. Laura’s love for the Lord is evident in all that she says and does. Her knowledge of scripture showed me how passionate she is about her calling and her warm, loving personality made me want to be her friend. Her story is one that every woman can relate to. All of Laura’s qualities translated into an extraordinary event that made every woman feel loved.

From the first time I heard Laura speak at our church’s women’s retreat, I was drawn in by her vulnerability and her passion for sharing God’s truth. She is authentic and her story is relevant and relatable. Laura went above and beyond to connect with her audience, even sacrificing her breaks between sessions to patiently listen as other women poured out their hearts and shared their own stories. Since then, I have had the privilege of participating in many of Laura’s women’s ministry events, and every time I leave feeling encouraged to make positive changes and move into a closer relationship with Jesus. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for an impactful, inspiring message deeply rooted in God’s Word.

The first time I heard Laura communicate, my exact response was ‘Wow’! Laura’s teaching style is passionate, relatable, and hope-filled. She radiates warmth, kindness and a genuine interest in those around her — on and off the platform. Her amazing story of transformation, coupled with her solid biblical teaching, will leave you also saying “wow!” If you’re looking for a dynamic communicator, Laura has my highest recommendation!

Laura lovingly connects with her audience, as she weaves biblical applications through her life story. Thank you, Laura, for your transparency on hard issues that offers permission for those who need enhanced growth opportunities from the Word!

“Get over it” is dismissive and hurtful to trauma survivors - even when we say it to ourselves. 😟
Healing from trauma is a journey, and The Trauma Tree: Going Beyond Survival, Growing Toward Wholeness, offers a path forward.
It’s an invaluable resource for survivors, their loved ones, and therapists.
Take heart. Healing is possible. ❤️🩹

I’m loving this beautiful devotional just released by speaker, author, and my literary agent, Debbie Alsdorf! ❤️
Do you have a few minutes each morning to deepen your relationship with God?
Each day’s reading may only take 10 minutes, but you’ll be thinking about her words and the scripture all day long.
You can find “10 Minutes with God for Women” on Amazon or wherever boos are sold.

As a Christian Life Coach with many years in ministry, I know trauma is pervasive among the women I coach and lead. 💔
“The Trauma Tree” is an important book for anyone who wants to gain understanding and compassion for themselves and the women they know and love. Lisa’s words are honest, gentle, and illuminating.
Read “The Trauma Tree” for yourself and pass it on to your friends who are coaches, therapists, and ministry leaders. I can’t wait to incorporate what I am learning into my coaching. ❤️
