Hi, I’m Lauren—a practical academic, professional coach, and lifelong community-builder. Like you, I’ve felt the frustrations of adult friendship. I’ve had to start over in my 20s, 30s, 40s—and I asked, why is this so hard? So I turned to the research.

The result is The Friendship Project—where I activate the science of connection and pair it with my real-world experience as an educator, consultant, and natural social planner. My goal is simple: to help women find their people and build authentic friendships without the overwhelm of going it alone.

I bring the same energy to coaching—connection, empathy, and helping you see and be your best self.
