This is where "I hired a whole team but everything still comes back to me " finally comes to die.
You built a real business. Clients, revenue, a team. And somehow you're still the one holding all of it together. Every question, every problem, every thing that should have an answer somewhere other than your brain ends up with you anyway.
That's where your go-to Leadership Ops Coach and Consultant for female entrepreneurs + nonbinary baddies comes in.
Right this way, my lovely seedling…
My 20 years in the corporate world taught me everything I needed to know about what not to do.
Most of the "leadership advice" out there is built for leaders with formal management training, institutional backup when things go sideways, and a specialized team for every function of the business.
Yeah, I said it.
You're a founder who's great at your actual work, built something real, and now finds yourself doing a job nobody prepared you for. Leading a team. Making decisions about things that are WAY outside your zone of genius. Holding together a business that technically runs, but only because you're personally holding it together with duct tape and a wish.
Your work ethic was never the problem (hello, look at what you’ve built!), it’s that nobody ever taught you how to lead the team you suddenly found yourself with.
Hey, I’m Lauren — a corporate consultant for mega-brands turned Leadership Ops Coach for female & nonbinary entrepreneurs who are done resenting the success they've created.
After consulting for brands like Apple, Whole Foods, Pfizer, and the federal government, I learned exactly how to take nervous, unsure leaders from “why the fuck is success sucking the life out of me” to “holy shit, I can finally take a real vacation without everything falling apart!".
But alongside my corporate career, I’ve been in the online business world since 2014. Having done everything from lifestyle blogging to systems coaching, I found a crucial gap that needed filling:
Founders need just as good (if not better) leadership skills AND the operations to back them up to run their businesses and get the freedom they really want.
And that was never more clear to me than when I had to have brain surgery...
Turns out, the brain fog and the inability to fully run my team on the nights and weekends I was used to working to catch up couldn't happen anymore.
Which meant I had to figure out how to run my business without being the thing it ran on. No more grinding it out after hours until everything got done. I physically couldn't be the person holding it all together by sheer force of will anymore.
(Add to that an ADHD diagnosis at 40, and you can see why forcing myself to work like everyone else was never going to happen.)
So I stopped trying to force myself into systems that were never built for how I actually think and lead. I built ones that work with me instead. And I learned to lead my team so the business didn't need me in every corner of it.
It's not your fault no one taught you how to lead in a way that works for your brain, your business, your values, and your actual life.
That's exactly what we figure out together.
I have the unique perspective of how the big dogs do it (usually not well) and how you can do it for your small business (but better.)
Plus, my real passion lies in helping real people get control of their businesses by learning to actually lead them.
I help you build the leadership skills and operational backbone your business needs so you can stop being the person everything runs through and start being the CEO you already technically are.
Cheers to not only having a successful business, but actually enjoying it too, right?
MY MISSION:
To help established women & nonbinary business owners stop operating like employees of their own businesses, build the leadership skills nobody taught them, and finally run a company that isn’t held together with duct tape and a wish, so they can take real time off and stop being the only one making every decision, 24/7.
Things you didn't ask about, but I'm telling you anyway:
Ya girl's a digital nomad! I know about managing work in unconventional circumstances.
I always have houseplants, even while I'm living in an RV (and yes, I’m great at keeping them alive. Mostly.)
Chronic hobbyist. I’ve tried everything from scuba diving, to French lessons, to pottery, to knitting, to jigsaw puzzles, and more.
Spent 6 months in Italy to get my citizenship through ancestry. (Can you guess which country is next on my list?)
I will always choose root beer over any alcoholic beverage. It's not a moral thing – I just really like sweets!
I’m a proud Aries, which means I’m passionate, direct, and never shy away from a challenge (whether it’s a business problem or kayaking a challenging river.)
"I felt like I was still doing everything, just with extra steps.
Now, my team knows exactly what needs to happen without me hovering over them. I trust them now, and they're actually stepping up."
- Denise P, Nutritionist
Are we… about to be best friends?
We should work together if:
You’re tired of every decision in your business still somehow ending up back with you
You have a great team but you're still doing everything, just with extra steps and more guilt
You're genuinely great at your work but totally winging it when it comes to the leadership part (no shame, nobody taught you)
You've tried the tools, the hires, the systems... and somehow you're still the one holding it all together
You want to actually enjoy the business you worked this hard to build instead of just (barely) surviving it
Listen: I'm not the kind of coach who's going to hand you a leadership framework or a bunch of modules and wish you luck…
What will I do? Work alongside you for 90 days to build the actual leadership skills and operational backbone your business needs, in a way that fits how you think, lead, and make decisions.
Your path to finally leading your business (instead of just surviving it) starts here.
Need a quick pulse-check to see if we’re a good fit?
Cool, I’d love to schedule a chat so you can make the best decision for your business — book one here.
