Born with Central Core Disease, a rare neuromuscular disorder undiagnosed until she was 21, Lauren Pires spent years hiding her disability—until a life-changing moment at Speaker Slam in 2022. By publicly sharing her story for the first time, she discovered the power of vulnerability and connection. Now, she champions “the daily yay,” a gratitude-based mindset celebrating everyday joy. Lauren’s journey is a testament to the power of owning who you are to foster belonging and deeper connections.
