About This Episode

How many of us have an identity that maybe is wrapped into our career?Lauren Boss knows that moment firsthand and she also knows what can grow from it. After nearly a decade in the corporate world, she’s navigated motherhood, freelancing, self-publishing a memoir, and an unexpected leap into business ownership that put her in the CEO seat.

Lisa and Lauren talk about the confidence of being an “and,” not an “or.” We get real about the identity shift that happens when you stop being “the corporate girl,” the quiet ways we lose our voice over time, and how you rebuild it through small, brave actions. Lauren shares how journaling, meditation, faith, and quiet reflection helped her find clarity, trust her intuition, and redefine success on her own terms, not someone else’s checklist.
