March 2024 - Lauren Davis Creative

In this episode of the REAL Personal Branding podcast, Lauren shares how valuable personal traditions and celebrations can be to our well-being.

Growing up, Lauren saw the joy created by honoring traditions like making summer solstice cheese and enjoying her grandpa’s homemade “red drink.”

After becoming an adult and starting businesses, she became consumed by pursuing success at the expense of her well-being. It wasn’t until Lauren experienced burnout, health issues, and personal struggles that she realized the importance of slowing down, acknowledging her achievements, and self-celebration.

You’ll hear why Lauren created an airport tradition for herself every time she travels, what it means to her to create that moment every time she flies, and why you should create special traditions for yourself.

Lauren also shares a new opportunity for personal and professional growth – her personal brand mastermind. Designed to provide guidance, support, and community for entrepreneurs, authors, and business owners, it offers a space for collaboration, learning, and transformation.

Let’s honor our achievements, cultivate joy, and create meaningful connections that enrich our lives and businesses.
