More than inspiration - a lived story of transformation in action. Lauren doesn’t just inspire with an extraordinary personal story, she embodies it. Drawing from real adversity and hard-won resilience, she brings practical insight, not just motivation, showing audiences how to lead, grow and thrive with purpose.

Hi, I’m Lauren

For the past decade, I’ve turned my lived experience into my greatest strength and my life’s work. What began as a personal journey through adversity has evolved into a mission to inspire and empower others to do the same. Every talk I give is grounded in transforming challenge into advantage, and tailored to the goals of your event. Whether you're gathering a dozen top executives in a boardroom or thousands of women navigating life transitions, I help audiences shift their mindset and lead with courage — not just in the moment, but long after the event is over.
