Today I am chatting with Lauren, a multifaceted, multi-passionate, and all-around amazing human!

Lauren is a nurse, a trainer and run coach, and the owner of Off The Trail Coaching. We dig into her journey and she shares how she started to feel that something was missing. I am sure some of my fellow nurses, and humans in general can relate to that "missing" feeling.

What I love about Lauren's story is, she took action. She goes into detail about what that looked and felt like mentally, financially, and how taking action has led her to where she is today.

This episode is packed with inspiration and tangible tips on how to move out of that "stuck" feeling and into the alignment you deserve.
