Hi, I’m Lauren!

I'm a coach for people who are done following a script they didn't write.

For most of my career, I was the person who made things happen. As Director of Corporate Governance and Development in the oil and gas industry, I built programs, set up international offices, and spent years watching what actually helps people grow. I was good at it, and I was proud of it.

Six years ago, I stepped out to raise my son. It was the right decision, and it still quietly unraveled me. The title, the team, the travel, the daily proof of my own competence: gone. And in the space that followed, I came face to face with a question I had never really had to answer. Who am I when I am not being useful to someone else?

That question led me to the Becoming You Intensive at NYU Stern School of Business. Three days of the most clarifying work I had ever done. For the first time, I could see my values named and ranked. I could see where I had been living around them instead of from them. I walked out knowing exactly what I wanted to build next, and wanting to help other people find what I had found.

Now I'm a Becoming You Certified Practitioner, pursuing my ICF credential, building a practice at the intersection of structured self-knowledge and the deep inner work that helps people actually act on what they learn. I live in Tulsa with my husband and son. Iceland has my heart.

My philosophy is simple: know yourself first, everything else follows. Every engagement starts with one question: not what do you want to do next, but who are you? Underneath the shoulds, the titles, the timeline you were handed: who are you, actually?

I work with Purpose Seekers at every stage: mid-career professionals asking "do I stay, pivot, or leap?", adults reclaiming a version of themselves that got deferred, and students facing big direction questions before they've had a chance to fully know themselves yet.

What I bring: the Becoming You methodology, Enneagram work, and executive coaching experience. But the method matters less than the stance. I'm a thinking partner, I won't hand you a plan for your life. I'll help you excavate the one that's already yours.

Live on purpose, not on autopilot.
