Men's Coach
Aastha Lal is the founder of TheLezBro.com, a one-of-a-kind coaching service where straight men turn to a lesbian coach for honest, practical guidance on love, relationships, and personal growth. With years of experience in coaching, facilitation, and mindfulness practices, Aastha helps men build confidence, emotional intelligence, and authentic connection in every aspect of their lives.
Through The LezBro, she offers a perspective men often can’t get elsewhere: the candid insight of a lesbian best friend who understands what women truly want and what helps relationships thrive. Her approach blends compassion with clarity, weaving in tools like breathwork, meditation, and mindset work to help men feel grounded, present, and magnetic—whether they’re navigating marriage, dating, or self-doubt.
Born in New York and now based in Los Angeles, Aastha has spent her career helping people step into their most authentic selves. She’s been featured as both a coach and a storyteller, and her work reflects a commitment to connection, growth, and breaking old patterns that hold men back from intimacy.
