Hey there. I’m Lauren!

I believe humans are resilient. And that belief has shaped everything I do–as a professor, psychologist, writer, mom, and dreamer…

And that’s why I’m here: to speak to a life that is #notasadvertised. A life too often dictated by systems, culture, and toxic belief systems than any of us ever anticipated.

That’s the work I do in this space: naming what’s broken, uncovering the systems beneath it, and using science, storytelling, and (let’s be honest) a little sarcasm and humor to help us as we make our way forward– towards greater safety, justice, wellness, and fulfillment.

My Formula? Truth > Insight > Action

Life may be not as advertised. But, thankfully, neither are we.

There’s so much we can change– together.
