Meet Carolyn Lane

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Carolyn Lane. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Carolyn below.

Carolyn, thank you so much for joining us and offering your lessons and wisdom for our readers. One of the things we most admire about you is your generosity and so we’d love if you could talk to us about where you think your generosity comes from.

I think my generosity comes from two places: lived experience and a deep belief in community as medicine.

There have been seasons in my life where I felt profoundly alone while navigating really big chapters, such as early motherhood, career pivots, personal growth, and relationship challenges. In those moments, I would have given anything for someone to say, “You don’t have to walk this part alone.” A place where I could have just unpacked what I was experiencing and not felt judged or lonely.

So now, I create the spaces I once needed. I give what I didn’t always have access to.

Generosity, to me, isn’t about being selfless; it’s about believing that when we feel supported and held, we soften, and when we soften, we expand. Women rise when they feel safe, seen, and celebrated. That’s the heartbeat of Cosmic Egg Wellness. And also, I genuinely love people. I love cheering others on. I love seeing someone’s eyes light up because they feel hopeful again. I don’t think there’s a more beautiful exchange than watching someone remember their worth and strength.

My generosity isn’t accidental; it’s intentional. It’s rooted in the belief that nurturing others nurtures the collective, and that kindness ripples farther than we ever realize.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I’m the founder of Cosmic Egg Wellness, a women’s wellness sanctuary in downtown Round Rock. It’s not a yoga studio, but a care center for the whole woman. We support women at every age and stage, especially through pregnancy, postpartum, and the wildly transformative seasons of identity that come with womanhood.

Yes, we offer yoga, sound baths, childbirth education, women’s circles, and retreats, but the heart of this work is belonging, nervous system care, and community connection. This is a place to land, soften, breathe, and remember yourself, not perform a perfect version of you.

And what truly excites me is collaboration, not competition. We are building this space alongside doulas, pelvic floor PTs, midwives, chiropractors, therapists, acupuncturists, and so many other brilliant practitioners. Women don’t need us all competing for attention; they need a village. They deserve wrap-around support. They deserve a community that lifts each other rather than stepping on one another to “rise.”

There’s no “toxic positivity” here and no “wellness influencer mask.” I’m not interested in pretending motherhood or womanhood is always glowing and graceful. I’m as real and raw as it gets. I’ve lived the exhaustion, the identity shifts, the vulnerability, the rebirths. Cosmic Egg Wellness isn’t where you come to look perfect. It’s where you come to be human and reconnect to your strength, softness, and truth.

That’s why I created the Cosmic Mama Circle. Motherhood can feel isolating, especially in a culture that pressures women to bounce back instantly: physically, emotionally, and socially. Here, you don’t have to bounce back. You get to come back to yourself. Cosmic Mama Circle gives women a space to show up tired, messy, joyful, anxious, proud, confused, and be met with support, expertise, and other mothers who just get it.

And in the middle of the tears, the questions, the tender conversations, something magical happens:
We laugh. Not the performative “everything’s amazing” kind. The deep, honest, finally-someone-gets-me kind. The laughter you reclaim when the pressure lifts and you don’t have to pretend.

That’s the soul of Cosmic Egg Wellness:
Community over comparison.
Healing over hustle.
Belonging over perfection.
Real over polished.

This is a place for women to rise without rushing, rest without apology, and be supported without condition. We don’t need to be perfect to be powerful, just present, connected, and held.

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

Looking back, the three qualities that have impacted my journey the most are resilience, intuition, and compassion.

1. Resilience: The kind that bends, not breaks.
Entrepreneurship, especially in the wellness space, isn’t all candles, sage, and perfectly rolled yoga mats. It’s perseverance, doubt, emotional stamina, and learning to start again with heart.
There have been moments I questioned everything, but every bend brought clarity rather than collapse. Resilience, to me, isn’t about being unshakeable; it’s about allowing yourself to rest, recalibrate, and rise again when you’re ready. We don’t hustle here; we evolve.

2. Intuition: trusting the quiet knowing.
Cosmic Egg Wellness wasn’t built from a template; it came from listening deeply to my body, to the women I serve, to the seasons of life I’ve moved through, and the ones still unfolding. When something doesn’t feel aligned, I don’t force it. When something feels deeply true, I follow it. Intuition isn’t about knowing the answer. It’s trusting you’ll find your way. It’s a lot of figuring things out as I go, pivoting when life calls for it, and honoring where I am in each moment. When we listen inward, we stay rooted in who we are becoming.

3. Compassion: for others, and for yourself.
Supporting women has taught me that tenderness is power. Compassion is why I collaborate instead of compete, lift other practitioners instead of guarding turf, and hold space for real emotions instead of polished perfection.
It’s also the voice that says, “You don’t have to have it all together today. You are still worthy.”
Compassion builds community, and community builds endurance. Softness isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom.

As for advice for those beginning their journey:
Ask yourself more questions than you ask Google. When you get quiet, your inner voice gets louder, and she is wise. Make decisions from alignment, not anxiety. Treat yourself like someone you are learning to love. Extend grace when you wobble. Rest when you’re tired. Ask for support. Know that wobbling is not failure, it’s how strong roots grow.

If you’re just starting out, remember this:
You don’t need perfection to make an impact, just presence, courage, and heart.
Show up as you are, evolve as you go, and let compassion be the compass that brings you home again and again.

Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?

One of my biggest challenges right now is helping people understand that Cosmic Egg Wellness isn’t a traditional yoga studio; it’s something different. It’s a space designed specifically to support women through pregnancy, postpartum, and all the identity-shifting seasons of womanhood.

There are so many beautiful yoga spaces in our community, and I truly love that. My challenge has been helping people understand that Cosmic Egg Wellness serves a different, very specific role. This space provides wrap-around support for women in seasons where they’re often expected to “figure it out,” “bounce back,” and hold everything together. We build community, honor who women are becoming, and support the nervous system during some of the most transformative chapters of life. This isn’t fitness-forward yoga; it’s nervous-system care, identity support, village-building, and a place to land, not perform. The beauty is in the journey.

The way I move through this challenge is by continuing to show up consistently, educating through experience, and inviting women into the space so they can feel what it’s like to be held, not hurried; welcomed, not evaluated; supported, not compared. Once women step inside, the difference is felt immediately. They experience the exhale, the softening, the “oh… this is what I’ve been needing.”

When women feel safe enough to soften, they find their strength again.
