Get Authentic with Marques Ogden

Lauryn was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and grew up with an incredible family and support system. Around high school, she started developing severe anxiety that led to her using alcohol to cope when she got into college. While studying business, she saw that the lifestyle promoted a party lifestyle and it was considered to “norm” to binge drink and party multiple days a week.
After quitting drinking and prioritizing her mental health and a growth mindset, everything changed. Lauryn wants to show young adults (and anyone who drinks) that you don’t have to conform to society’s standard for how you live your life. She now is a thriving saleswoman, blogger, writer, and so much more.
During this authentic and inspiring interview, we chat with Lauren about her ability to transition into the person she always knew she could be, and her amazing work to help others transform into a victory mindset, to achieve what their heart desires… This is an interview you don’t want to miss….
