Hi, I’m Lauren,
an author, story coach, & entrepreneur.
You might have seen me on Good Morning America, keynoting at a conference, or in the pages of popular magazines like Vice, Huffington Post, and Glamour.
Or maybe you heard me on your favorite podcast talking about the transformational power of storytelling.
Whatever brought you here, welcome to my home on the Internet! I’m glad to have you. Before you go any further, I should warn you that if you hang out here long enough, I’ll convince you to take more naps, eat more snacks, and Write Your Friggin’ Book Already®.
If that sounds great to you, you’re in the right place.


Tell better Stories
Your world is defined by the stories you tell.
The value you give yourself, the love you have for others, the money you make – everything in your life is influenced by a story.
Whether it’s a societal story that oppresses some voices and amplifies others, or a personal story you’ve created for yourself, stories hold power in your life.
I’m here to help you tell a better story, one that reduces shame and empowers you to proudly be your most authentic self. One that helps you make more money, take more time off, and have more joy.
And we’re going to do that by harnessing this magical tool we have called writing.
