The biggest freedom we can give ourselves is to dream through our fears.
For years, I believed that success meant never failing. That if I wanted to achieve big things, I had to play it safe, avoid mistakes, and make it look effortless. The fear of failure kept me stuck—until I realized that not trying at all was the real failure.
I’m on a mission to change the way we think about failure. To share my journey—missteps and all—so that ambitious women like you can stop waiting, start believing, and finally take action toward the life you know you’re meant for.
Because ready enough isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting yourself enough to begin.
Hi, I’m Lauren!
I'm Lauren Beane and I help women take the leap and believe they are ready enough by offering tools, coaching, and my personal stories so they can embrace and own their unique talents.
I have always considered myself a big dreamer and an entrepreneur at heart. Growing up, I started or dreamt up over a dozen businesses when I wasn’t preoccupied with school or dance practice. From designing flyers for dog walking services at age 12 to having my lemonade stand featured on the local news, I never worried about having all the answers-- I just acted on my dreams and figured things out as I went along. But as I grew older and began my career in corporate America, a lot of those dreams got pushed to the back burner. I felt like I couldn’t act on an idea unless I felt like I had all the answers, knew every turn, and created a roadmap from start to finish.
I wouldn’t apply to a job unless I had every qualification. I would be the last to raise my hand for a new opportunity. I wouldn’t start that dream business because I wasn’t sure if it would flourish or flop.
But in March 2020, life slowed down and I grew tired of waiting until I felt ‘ready enough’ to pursue my goals. After taking a huge leap and launching the consulting and speaking business that I had always dreamed of, I'm now on a mission to empower other women to feel they are ready enough (even with only 50% of the answers) and live out the life they deserve. Let’s stop waiting until that perfect moment to reach our goals. Let’s act now, and believe we are ready enough.
My motto is and always will be
The difference between a dream and a success story is that single pivotal moment where you decide to go for it.

I’m a mom to two incredible kiddos. My Boston Terrier, Zoey, still believes she’s the baby of the family.
I’m married to my high school sweetheart. I like to think my Aeropostale tees and Toms shoes won him over. (If you know, you know).
