35 What Happens When You Get Fired?
Man, it sucks to get fired. A lot goes through your mind but the most important question is "What do I do now?". Well, as someone who's been fired before, I will tell you. It's not my favorite thing to bring up, but it's been 8 years and I figure this is as good a place as any to talk about how it all feels, what you're supposed to do, and how you bounce back.

34 Conflict
One thing will always be true with working, you will run into conflict. Because systems are not smart, and people get wrapped up with work, it's tough to know how to deal with conflict resolutions at work. I walk you through some context, tips, and tricks on asserting yourself and what boundaries are appropriate for you.

33 Creative Connections
When you hear the word "networking" you always think of that weird business card scene from American Psycho. I'm here to tell you that it can be more sincere than that. I walk you through some framework on how to connect with the creatives around you and yes, make friends as an adult. Which is hard.
Customer Reviews
Extremely life affirming
I am so lucky to have found Lauren on TikTok a few months ago.
Lauren is one of the best resources for creatives out there today. It’s so hard and intimidating to start from scratch with any creative endeavor, and listening to this podcast keeps me sane; Knowing I’m not the only one out there trying to figure this all out.
Lauren is amazing!
This was a fantastic episode and I’m excited to watch this journey and learn more from her as a young designer.
