I'm Lauren Marie

I'm a proud girl mom, a coach's wife, a writer, and a brand builder. After spending years healing from divorce, managing motherhood, and developing my brand, I discovered a passion for helping others navigate similar journeys. Whether sharing insights from my experiences or assisting coaches in building their unique brands, my goal is to create meaningful connections and inspire others to pursue their passions.

Lauren Marie

Iโ€™m the eldest daughter, a thoughtful sister, a devoted girl mom, and a coachโ€™s wife who finds joy in lifeโ€™s everyday moments. Iโ€™m a friend who loves to share a good laugh, a Christian eager to let her light shine, and an avid reader of steamy romance novels. Whether Iโ€™m writing, podcasting, cheering at my daughterโ€™s volleyball games, standing on the sidelines of a football field, or designing a website, I bring authenticity and intention to everything I do.

This space began as a simple blog, named Grab Your Light, in 2017 and has since grown into much more. In 2021, I launched my podcast by the same name, and by 2024, I had written Shine Through, a book sharing my journey through divorce and co-parenting. Along the way, I discovered a deep passion for branding and storytelling, creating a space where women, millennials, and coaches can find inspiration, support, and practical tools for their journeys.

On this site, youโ€™ll find a blend of everything that makes me who I am. From blog posts on branding, career, family, and lifestyle to updates about my latest books, podcast episodes, and insights from my branding agency, this space is a reflection of my personal and professional journey.

Youโ€™ll also discover resources and tools for women navigating their paths in life and business. Whether you're here for inspiration, practical advice, or simply to connect with someone on a similar journey, thereโ€™s something for you.

Stick around, explore, and letโ€™s connect and build something beautiful together.
