From Ballet to Billboard: Faith, Hit Songs & Creative Balance with Lauren Christy
In this episode of Self-Care for the Creative, host Stefani Fryzel sits down with Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Lauren Christy, whose incredible journey has taken her from ballet studios to the top of the charts. Known for penning massive hits like “Complicated” and “Sk8er Boi” with Avril Lavigne, Lauren reflects on how pivotal moments—including becoming a mother—aligned with some of the biggest breakthroughs in her career. She shares how her early love of movement and discipline in ballet laid a foundation for creativity, how trusting in divine timing has guided her path, and why she believes the music you make will take care of you—if you take care of it first.
Lauren also opens up about the realities of being a woman in the music industry, the mental toll of high-pressure environments, and why community and collaboration are essential to long-term success. She drops powerful wisdom for aspiring songwriters, including her belief in writing a lot of songs to uncover the gems and her commitment to teaching through masterclasses. From trusting your gut to leaning on faith, Lauren’s story is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to sacrifice your well-being to make it in the music industry—you just have to redefine what success looks like for you.
