Throughout my life, I’ve dabbled in more interests than I care to admit (thanks to my Gemini Moon and Manifesting Generator energy). When something catches my curiosity, I dive in—whether that means taking a class, trying it out, and either mastering it or completely bombing. And then, just as quickly, I move on to the next fascination. But for the first time ever, I’ve found something that’s truly stuck—and it feels completely right, even if some people think it’s a bit out there.

Honestly, I’ve learned that if you’re passionate about something, and it makes others uncomfortable—not because of who you are, but because of their own opinions—and you still feel drawn to it, you might be onto something meaningful.

Back in 2014, I was working with a life coach, wrestling with the idea of “finding my niche” and wanting to define myself clearly. I wanted people to meet me and say, "Oh, that's Lauren, she's [fill in the blank]." At the time, I felt like I didn’t quite fit anywhere. I had this knack for relating to all sorts of people, which is great, but it left me feeling like a bit of a chameleon—getting along with everyone but not fully seeing myself reflected in anyone. It felt like I was missing some core piece of who I was.

During one of our sessions, my coach said something that didn’t click at first: "What if your thing is being all of these things?" That insight took a while to land, but now I see it clearly. My journey, with all its twists and pivots, wasn’t about choosing a single path—it was about embracing them all. That realization not only shaped who I am but also brought me to the work I do now, combining astrology, self-care, and connection in a way that feels completely authentic. So here I am:

The truth is, I love all sides of the fence. I’m equal parts basic, creative, and mystic—and depending on who I’m with, one side just tends to show up more. It took me a while to realize that’s not being phony; it’s the ability to connect with a variety of people in a real way. The key was letting go of the insecurity that came from worrying about how others might perceive me.

So, whether you identify with a specific box or you’re like me—someone who refuses to fit in any one category and thinks, “Screw the box, I’m a mf wildflower spreading wherever I want”—we’ll get along just fine.

At the end of the day, my biggest hope is that the content I share, both here and on my social platforms, speaks to all these different “boxes” and beyond. Because we’re all a little more complex—and connected—than just one label.
