Lauren Marie Fleming started coaching her peers on storytelling when she was 8 years old and giving speeches in 4H. Spoiler alert: she says snacks and asking ‘why’ were her secret key to success.
As she grew up, she learned the power of the stories we tell ourselves and others as she was deeply shamed and dangerously medicated for being fat. Finding proudly fat people to create community with allowed her to actively change her own narrative and started her journey of amplifying other voices that have been silenced and pushed to the sidelines.
Lauren helps aspiring authors ditch the starving artist cliche and thrive. She has written for prominent publications like Vice and Huffington post and spoken at prestigious conferences such as Blog Her and at colleges including Yale. For over two decades Lauren has coached writers and other storytellers to write books that honor their creativity and humanity while making more money and telling better stories.
She’s worked with some of the world’s most distinguished authors and speakers including Tony Robbins. She is a graduate of both film school and law school. Lauren’s goal in life is to encourage entrepreneurs to be more creative and to teach artists to think more like entrepreneurs.
