Meet Lauren Cross

We recently connected with Lauren Cross and have shared our conversation below.

Lauren, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?

Confidence and self esteem can be SO hard to rediscover after taking the journey into motherhood. It’s important to be intentional in reminding yourself that the journey isn’t to “get the old you back” but instead, meet the new you and accept her.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

Creating comes naturally to me. After many years of co-owning a company, I moved on to new things in 2020. I wasn’t sure what was next but I was excited to see where life lead me. I realized that the lack of transparency in motherhood was extreme, so I wanted to fill in that gap for new mothers. I share consistently on my page about transparent parenthood and I also spend quite a bit of time creating content for brands. It flexes my creativity muscles and I love doing it!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Speaking in terms of confidence within motherhood and body, you have to be intentional. Set a routine and stick to it – it doesn’t have to be extensive. For me: Daily skincare routine and affirmations. These do wonders for my confidence in life and my ability to feel good about myself.

To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?

My parents have always taught me to be myself in all situations, and to never dull my shine. I’m not for everyone and that’s okay.
