"Reading & writing are more than just pastimes; they're portals. Not just words strung together, but a place to see yourself more clearly. A way to turn pain into meaning and wounds into wisdom. This is not just something we do; it's something that does something to us. I guess you could say it's heart work, soul work, which actually is the real work of our lives."
From My Heart to Yours
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. From my heart to yours, I share words that have helped me make sense of life, through journaling, poetry, and reflection. It’s honest, hopeful, and made to remind you that you’re not alone.
I was one of those theatre kids, all singing and dancing, all sequins and jazz hands. I’ve always loved storytelling, movement, and expression. Since I was little, I’ve been journaling my way through life, scribbling thoughts, collecting quotes, writing song lyrics and poems, processing the world one page at a time. Language and creativity have always been how I make sense of things. These days, I use that same love to help others slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves through words
I put what I’ve learned into the things I make; little poetry books, a cozy monthly-ish newsletter called LOVE-Mail and a blog where I share lessons, thoughts, inspirations and stories. It’s all here to help you reflect, heal, and find a bit of light on the page.
Lauren’s leadership as a writing coach through her online offerings, poetry, blog, and in-person retreats has been both inspiring and transformative. Her thoughtful guidance and welcoming presence created a life-giving workshop that fostered connection, creativity, and personal growth. Even as non-writers, we found freedom and insight through her process, and I continue to explore and recommend her work in both my personal and professional life.
