Lauren is the Programs Services Manager of Embrace, located at Silky Oaks in Manly. She started the program three years ago and it has grown to become a successful service for Bayside families.
In addition to the great work at Embrace, Lauren has also very recently established her own fashion label (elqstore.com) which has a focus on sustainability and ethical clothing.
This chat really did go all over the place, as I had a connection with Lauren around her child protection work, but I also wanted to know so much more about her love of travel and where it has taken her. It really is a mixed bag of topics and Lauren is delightful to listen to. She is a great teller of her own story.
