Allisa La Brown is a powerhouse Women’s Empowerment and Confidence Coach, speaker, poet, and multi-hyphenate creative with roots in the Maryland/DC area and life chapters that span New York, Atlanta, Brazil, and now Charlotte, North Carolina. After two decades as a Web Content Manager in the tech world—and years moonlighting as a published poet, spoken word artist, and television/film makeup artist—La made the bold leap into full-time entrepreneurship in 2025, dedicating her life to helping women get out of their own way and step boldly into the lives they deserve.

In 2024, she launched Your Confident Bestie , a coaching and empowerment brand designed to help everyday women set stronger boundaries, release guilt and fear, overcome limiting beliefs, and build unapologetic confidence through workshops, talks, and transformational coaching. Her signature B is for Boundaries workshop teaches women how to say no without guilt, end the people-pleasing cycle, and set the kind of boundaries that create freedom.

La is also the author of Banter and Bourbon , her celebrated poetry collection available on Amazon, with a new book on confidence set to release in 2025. And if you’re wondering where the “La” comes from? That nickname was born during her spoken word, when rarely would a piece make an appearance without an intro hum and song.

In 2024, La also added a brand new role to her already impressive roster: wife. She recently married the love of her life and brings that same full-heart energy into her work with women—reminding them that love, joy, and confidence can all exist in one beautifully bold life.

Whether she’s delivering boundary-setting workshops, empowering audiences from the stage, or coaching women one-on-one, La brings warmth, wisdom, and a healthy dose of humor. She believes confidence isn’t a personality trait—it’s a practice. And she’s on a mission to help women everywhere stop people-pleasing and start showing up for themselves.
