Hi! I’m Lauren
Tech leader turned life & career coach and mom of two
Hello! You’re in the right place ❤️
Hi, I'm Lauren: a life & career coach who helps moms get unstuck in their career.
After 15+ in tech and corporate (most recently as a marketing leader at Affirm), I became a coach when I realized the best part of my job was coaching my team.
But before that, I burned out hard trying to pretend nothing changed in my career or life when my first son was born.
My “why” is giving working moms the support I wish I'd had.
It started when our first son was born
I was an ambitious achiever who put work first. When I became a mom, I was dead-set on not letting it change my life.
I continued grinding on the same career path and ignored everything else that mattered to me.
After a year back at work, it was clear it wasn't working for me.
I'd continued to succeed and was even promoted to Director, but nothing felt right: I was miserable at work, distracted at home, and disconnected from myself.
I was STUCK.
Then I couldn’t take it anymore
A few months later, I burned out and quit.
I knew I needed to a career AND lifestyle change, but I had no idea what that looked like or how to figure it out.
It took 3+ years of life & career coaching, therapy, research, and experimentation to figure it out.
It’s not perfect - there’s a lot I’m still working on.
But I feel clear about my path, confident in myself and my ability to make things happen, and so wonderfully content with the career & life I’m creating for me and my family.
I desperately want this for all the other moms who feel stuck in their careers, torn between work & family, and completely drained from it all.
And I want to help you do it faster and easier than I did.
What I do when I’m not coaching
I live in San Francisco with my husband Anish and our two young sons Koby and Kanan.
I love spending time outside - running, hiking, and exploring new neighborhoods (and playgrounds!) I’m a voracious reader, healthy baker, and novice pianist.
Before coaching, I spent 15 years in strategy, client success, and marketing at small startups up through large companies (Affirm, Citibank, CEB/Gartner). I have an MBA from Columbia Business School and a BA from Duke University.
I grew up in New Jersey and miss the East Coast dearly, though I do love SF’s year-round outdoor weather.
