You Can(‘t) Start or End Something You Love

In this final solo episode, Lauren answers audience questions about taking the first step when you have a big idea and what ultimately led her to end this podcast.

Lauren reflects on the journey of creating and leading the show, offering honest thoughts about starting before you feel ready, embracing the beginner phase, and trusting the pull toward what’s next. She also shares excerpts from her Substack post, “The Final Farewell: 200 Podcast Episodes, One Imperfectly Phenomenal Journey,” weaving together lessons, memories, and the throughline that connected over 150 conversations with women.

You’ll hear about:

• subconscious vs. conscious desires,
• taking the leap and bring an idea to life,
• being okay with being a beginner,
• crafting a vision and identifying your first step,
• taking action to challenge limiting beliefs,
• reflections from an early business plan,
• what’s next in Lauren’s creative journey,
• key takeaways from creating and leading a podcast, and
• the common thread running through 150 interviews with women.

This episode is both the closing of a chapter and an invitation to trust your ideas, honor your growth, and move forward with intention as an imperfectly phenomenal woman.
