Everyone talks about vision.
But no one talks about who actually executes it.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what an Integrator really is — and why this role might be the missing link between your big ideas and actual business growth.

If you’ve ever felt like:

• You’re the bottleneck
• Your team is busy but not aligned
• Meetings feel chaotic
• Vision keeps changing but nothing sticks

This episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What an Integrator actually does (hint: it’s not a VA)
• The difference between a VA, OBM, and Integrator/Fractional COO
• How this role protects the CEO’s time and energy
• Why businesses stall without operational leadership
• The signs you’re ready for one
• How structure creates freedom (not restriction)

I also share how this role functions inside EOS-style leadership and why it’s the key to sustainable, scalable growth, especially for 6- and 7-figure digital businesses.

If you’re building a business and feel like you’re carrying it all… this conversation might shift everything.

If this episode resonated, share it with a CEO friend who needs to stop being the bottleneck.

Happy New Year … 

Today’s episode is a mix of life updates, business recalibration, and what’s ahead — including a conversation around the Year of the Snake, the energy of shedding, and stepping into bold Fire Horse momentum.

I’m sharing how I’m feeling coming into this year, what I’m releasing, and how I’m preparing for a new decade.

In This Episode:

• New Year reflections + the energetic shift I’m feeling
• The symbolism of the Year of the Snake (shedding, refinement, strategy)
• Preparing for the bold movement of Fire Horse energy
• January life updates: NOLA, events, birthdays, bachelorette weekends
• Turning 40 in one month — identity, embodiment, and becoming her
• Business growing pains and structural recalibration
• What’s coming next 

This year isn’t about doing more.
It’s about refining, structuring, and stepping into the version of me I’ve been building toward.

If you’re in a season of shedding, recalibrating, or preparing for bold movement — this one’s for you.

Let’s just show up. ✨

So many people say they’re “just starting” — but what they really mean is they’re waiting. Waiting for clarity. Waiting for confidence. Waiting for things to feel easier.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why clarity only comes through action, not overthinking — and why, as we get older, alignment, energy, and mastery matter more than ever.

We talk about age, responsibility, habits, energy, and the uncomfortable truth about why growth feels harder now — and why that doesn’t mean you’re behind. It means you’re being invited to lead your life differently.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly frustrated that things aren’t clicking the way you hoped they would by now — this episode is for you.

What We Cover in This Episode

• Why clarity comes from doing, not planning
• A real-life example of how action created alignment in my own work and offers
• What it really means to live an aligned life (beyond aesthetics)
• How to think about the next 5–10 years of your life — not just next month
• How age changes:
  • Your desires
  • Your lifestyle expectations
  • Your financial and energetic realities
• Why your energy levels require strategy, not hustle
• The “adult things” that quietly get in the way as life gets fuller
• Letting go of:
  • The need to know the “how”
  • Excuses disguised as logic

Reflection Prompts

Ask yourself:

• Where am I waiting instead of doing?
• What habit is quietly compounding — for or against me?
• What would change if I treated this season of my life with precision instead of pressure?

In this episode, Lauren breaks down why December isn’t just the end of the year, it’s actually the quiet, powerful kick-off to the next one. 

While most people are mentally checking out, you get to tap in, set yourself up, and take the wheel of your life and business with intention.

December holds a unique kind of magic: reflection, renewal, clarity, and the chance to reposition yourself before January even begins. 

Lauren shares how she uses this month to reset her energy, reconnect with who she wants to be, and make aligned decisions that set the tone for a strong start to the year ahead.

You’ll be challenged to check in on the real question of season:
👉 Who’s driving the bus (your highest self or autopilot)?

This episode will help you slow down, zoom out, and choose your direction with clarity and confidence.

✨ Inside the Episode:

• Why December is the energetic start to the new year
• The magic of reflection + intention during the final month
• How to tap into clarity and alignment
• Practical ways to set yourself up before January hits
• Identifying who’s “driving the bus” in your life and business
• The mindset reframe that makes December your most powerful month🎧 Perfect For You If:
• You’re ready to end the year feeling proud instead of panicked
• You want a grounded, intentional way to enter the new year
• You’re craving structure, clarity, and alignment
• You want to show up as your highest self — not your stressed-out default mode

 Takeaways:

• December is a portal — treat it like the pre-season of the year
• Small intentional actions now = major momentum in January
• You can choose the driver of your life at any moment

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same cycles — saying you want to change but falling back into old habits — this episode is for you. Lauren breaks down the real reason change feels so damn hard (hint: your subconscious has something to do with it) and walks you through a step-by-step process to make lasting transformation actually stick this time.

This isn’t about a quick fix. It’s about becoming the version of you who actually lives the life you keep saying you want.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

1. How to get clear on what you’re letting go of — through powerful journaling prompts and honest self-reflection.
2. Why clarity creates momentum and how to define the attributes of the “old you” (people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, overgiving, etc.).
3. The moment you draw the line in the sand and declare: no more.
4. How to embody your future self — from your actions to your environment to your daily energy.
5. What it means to make “breakthrough moves” — small and big daily decisions that your next-level self would make.
6. The importance of environment, awareness, communication, and boundaries when sustaining change.
7. Why your subconscious fights change and how to reprogram it through repetition and belief.
8. How to release what’s behind you — no more replaying old fights, regrets, or shame. Let it go and move forward.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• 95% of what you do today is based on what you did yesterday. Real change starts with conscious awareness.
• Breakthrough moves (like sending that email, having that hard conversation, or finally finishing that project) are how you step into your future self.
• You become her by doing what she does — even when it feels uncomfortable.
• Your words matter. Be intentional with “I am” statements — they shape your identity.
• Believe it before you see it. The believing is the becoming.

It’s time for a little Spill the Tea Friday moment — a 5-minute reality check and reminder to pause and ask yourself: Who are you being right now?

In this quick hit, Lauren’s pulling back the curtain on what it really means to be versus do. Because sometimes, we’re so focused on the checklist, the goals, and the grind that we forget to check in with the version of ourselves that’s actually running the show.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why your energy and identity shape everything you do
• How to notice when you’ve slipped into autopilot
• The question that instantly re-centers your intentions
• A gentle reminder that “being her” starts with one small choice

This isn’t about perfection — it’s about awareness, alignment, and remembering that who you become is built one moment at a time.

So grab your matcha (or your mimosa, no judgment here 🥂) and let’s spill a little tea on the version of you that’s ready to show up differently.

Takeaway:
You don’t need to do more to become her — you just need to be her, starting now.

We all hear about yearly goals, but let’s be honest—12 months is a long time. That’s why I swear by quarterly planning. In this episode, I’m breaking down the power of the last 90 days and why sitting down to do your quarterlies will completely change how you run your life and business.

Think of it like this: every 90 days, you get a built-in reset button. You don’t have to wait until January 1st to start fresh—you get four chances a year to reflect, refine, and realign.

I’ll walk you through:
✨ Why quarterly reflection is just as important as planning
✨ The key questions I always ask when closing out a quarter
✨ How to set your next 3 priorities so you actually move the needle
✨ The real magic of stacking quarter after quarter—momentum that compounds

Whether you’re a CEO, a creator, or just someone who’s tired of winging it, this episode will help you stop running on autopilot and start showing up with intention.
