Want validation? Call your best friend. Want things to change? Call me. ☎️🌶️⁠
⁠
Freedom is NOT for you if:⁠
⁠
- You want me to tell you your boss, company, clients + calendar are the problem… and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.⁠
⁠
- You want another time management system, but you’re still going to accept the 4pm meeting and answer emails at 10pm.⁠
⁠
- You want the promotion or raise, but you’re not willing to ask for it.⁠
⁠
- You’re miserable on Tuesday and ready to quit by Friday. I’m not helping you blow up a 15-year career because you had a bad week.⁠
⁠
- You want me to tell you exactly what to do. I’ll help you make better decisions, but YOU still have to make them.⁠
⁠
- You want me to agree with you no matter what.⁠
⁠
- You love getting advice… but don’t actually do anything with it.⁠
⁠
Freedom isn’t six months of talking about what you should do.⁠
⁠
We make decisions.⁠
Have the conversations.⁠
Ask for what you want.⁠
Change how you work.⁠
And actually EXECUTE.⁠
⁠
I’m not here to make you feel better about staying exactly where you are.⁠
⁠
I’m here to help you get where you actually want to go.⁠
⁠
So if you read this list and thought, “GOOD. That’s exactly what I want”…⁠
⁠
Let’s get after it. 🔥⁠
⁠
Send me a DM and let me know what you want to focus on first.

Your boss says you aren't "hungry" enough. 🙄⁠
⁠
Meanwhile...⁠
⁠
❌️ You were promoted early to fill a gap, so you've been doing a job you were never trained on.⁠
❌️ You're working with 1/3 of the staff you actually need.⁠
❌️ You closed a huge deal earlier this year.⁠
❌️ And the "summer slowdown" never actually happened.⁠
⁠
So when your boss tells you they aren't seeing the same hunger from you anymore?⁠
⁠
Maybe they're right.⁠
Maybe you're not hungry.⁠
Maybe you're f**k*ng exhausted.⁠
⁠
I see this happen with high performers all the time. You prove yourself, so you're given more. You handle that, so you're given more again.⁠
⁠
Then the minute you can't sustain it, suddenly your ambition is being questioned. (Especially frustrating when your peers are doing far less than you are. 😠)⁠
⁠
➡️ But here's the part you might not want to hear: You still have to decide what you're going to do about it.⁠
⁠
Because waiting for leadership to change their tone won't work for the long term.⁠
⁠
Ask for more resources.⁠
Have the conversation about what's realistic.⁠
Stop overworking to make up for the "experience gap."⁠
⁠
And ask yourself the hardest question: Do I actually want what I'm working this hard to get?⁠
⁠
Maybe you want to be "all in", but not at this pace.⁠
⁠
Maybe you want to stay, but with more resources, authority and boundaries.⁠
⁠
Maybe you're ready to leave, but you want to make damn sure you're leaving for something better.⁠
⁠
All three require strategy and that's where having a coach changes the game.⁠
⁠
Inside Freedom, we don't just talk about how overwhelmed you are. We figure out what you want, what's actually standing in your way, and make the strategic moves to get you there without blowing up everything you've already worked so hard to build.⁠
⁠
You don't need to work harder.⁠
You don't need to prove that you're hungry.⁠
⁠
You need a better strategy.⁠
⁠
If you're reading this thinking, "Damn, how does she know?," DM me "FREEDOM" and I'll send you the link to get on my calendar.

09/22/2026

I honestly thought one of my favorite parts of my life was about to disappear when I became a mom:⁠
⁠
Travel. ⁠
⁠
Then, when I was pregnant, a friend said something that stayed with me: “I’ve noticed people mostly stay who they were before kids and after kids.”⁠
⁠
I remember thinking: “Oh. I can still be ME.” 🤗⁠
⁠
Fast forward to today, and we just wrapped up the summer in Spain with our one-year-old.⁠
⁠
Is traveling with a baby the same? LOL. No.⁠
⁠
But I’m still traveling.⁠
⁠
And I think there’s something bigger in that.⁠
⁠
Right now, my husband and I can work remotely.⁠
Right now, Gemma is happy in a stroller.⁠
Right now, daycare being closed for part of the summer created an opportunity instead of a problem.⁠
⁠
Those things may change, so we’re taking advantage of what’s possible NOW.⁠
⁠
One of the biggest gifts coaching has given me is getting really good at questioning the assumptions most of us never stop to question:⁠
⁠
Who says having a baby means giving up the things you love?⁠
Who says you have to put your life on hold?⁠
Who says there’s only one way to do motherhood?⁠
Or work?⁠
Or success?⁠
⁠
I know someone is reading this thinking: “That could never work for me.”⁠
⁠
And you might be right.⁠
⁠
But have you actually explored it?⁠
⁠
Because one of my Investment Banking clients is currently on a SIX-WEEK sabbatical with her family.⁠
⁠
Something she could’ve easily assumed wasn’t possible in her career, ESPECIALLY during a promotion cycle.⁠
⁠
Sometimes the life you want requires questioning the rules you assumed you had to follow.⁠
⁠
So if you find yourself living vicariously through someone else, ask yourself:⁠
⁠
Is that REALLY not possible for me?⁠
⁠
Or have I just never seriously asked, “How could I make that happen?”⁠
⁠
There will always be reasons not to.⁠
⁠
Some of the best moments of my life have come from finding a reason to do it anyway. ❤️⁠

YOU HAVE 100 DAYS LEFT IN 2026. That’s it. 🔥⁠
⁠
Remember what you wanted when this year started?⁠
⁠
The Senior Manager title.⁠
The $25K raise.⁠
The 6pm hard stop.⁠
7 hours of sleep.⁠
A vacation where your laptop stays CLOSED.⁠
A gym routine that lasts longer than two weeks.⁠
⁠
Now here’s the better question:⁠
⁠
What decision have you been avoiding that would actually get you closer to it?⁠
⁠
Because 100 days is PLENTY of time to change how 2026 ends.⁠
⁠
But it’s not enough time to keep saying:⁠
⁠
“After this deadline.”⁠
“When things calm down.”⁠
“Once this project is over.”⁠
“I’ll deal with it after 10/15.”⁠
⁠
You know how this goes.⁠
⁠
October gets busy.⁠
Then it’s Thanksgiving.⁠
Then suddenly it’s December and you’re telling yourself: “2027 will be different.”⁠
⁠
NOOOOO. 🙅🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
You still have 100 days.⁠
⁠
Have the conversation.⁠
Make the ask.⁠
Set the boundary.⁠
Apply for the role.⁠
Get the help.⁠
Make the damn decision.⁠
⁠
You don’t need January 1st to change something.⁠
⁠
You need to stop waiting.⁠
⁠
That’s a huge part of what we do inside Freedom.⁠
⁠
And if you already know exactly which decision is holding you back… DM me.

With all the hype around TextLauren lately, a few of you have asked:⁠
⁠
“Wait... are you still coaching 1:1?”⁠
⁠
YES. 🔥⁠
⁠
And I have zero plans to stop.⁠
⁠
Because sometimes you don’t need another answer.⁠
⁠
You need someone who knows you well enough to tell you: “You’re solving the wrong problem.”⁠
⁠
➡️ You think you need to quit.⁠
I see the conversation you’ve been avoiding for six months.⁠
⁠
➡️ You think you have a time management problem.⁠
I see everything you refuse to delegate.⁠
⁠
➡️ You think you need to work harder to make Partner.⁠
I’m wondering why you’re still doing work three levels below you.⁠
⁠
➡️ You think you need to figure out what’s next.⁠
I see that you already know what you want — you’re just scared to ask for it.⁠
⁠
THAT is Freedom.⁠
⁠
Six months of making the hard decisions, executing the plan + navigating all the messy real-life stuff that happens along the way.⁠
⁠
Together.⁠
⁠
TextLauren gives more people access to my coaching.⁠
⁠
Freedom is where we go ALL IN on you.⁠
⁠
Your career.⁠
Your money.⁠
Your time.⁠
Your leadership.⁠
Your life.⁠
⁠
Because I don’t just want you to solve today’s problem.⁠
⁠
I want to change the way you operate long after we stop working together.⁠

If you work in tax, you know.

9/15 is DONE. 🙌🏼

And before your brain immediately jumps to 10/15...

DON’T.

Take the win.

Close the laptop.
Go out to dinner.
Take tomorrow off.
Do something that has absolutely nothing to do with work.

You’ve spent weeks telling yourself, “Just get through September 15th.”

Well... you did.

Actually let yourself enjoy it.

Because there will ALWAYS be another deadline.

You don’t have to immediately start carrying the next one.

Take the win. You earned it. 🔥
