8. Confidence, Leadership & Rewriting stories with Lauren Currie OBE Artwork

Cyclical Living Series

The Cyclical Living Series is here to turn up the volume on a cyclical way of life. We'll be diving into how we can live this way within our modern lives. We're also sharing the gifts we can receive from doing so.I'm really passionate about sharing the language and information about cycles, the feminine body and it's processes so we can be more informed and able to advocate for our needs. I was 32 before I learnt about what was effecting me and why I was experiencing so much pain and dis-ease. That was way too late in my eyes. I went on a path of healing and learnt so much along the way. I also met some amazing people. This series is all about opening up the conversations I'm lucky enough to have regularly with them. The field of cycles is wide and fascinating. Cycles are all around us, be that moon, menstrual, seasonal, sleep etc and they effect everything from our capacities, capabilities, productivity, creativity and more. I want more people to have access to this incredible knowledge and so I created a platform to amplify those who are sharing this wisdom. Why wouldn't we learn how to harness cycles so we can optimise, heal, and grow in a way which is truly aligned to us.

8. Confidence, Leadership & Rewriting stories with Lauren Currie OBE

April 28, 2023 • Lou Perham • Season 2 • Episode 8

Today the incredible Lauren Currie OBE joins me for a really rich and juicy conversation about confidence, leadership and rewriting stories.

Lauren is the Founder of UPFRONT, an organisation on a mission to change confidence, visibility, and power for 1 million women. Lauren is a keynote speaker, describing her public speaking approach as “everyone in the room will turn their own lights on”. She was the chairperson of leading maternity discrimination Pregnant Then Screwed for seven years and has been recognised as a woman changing the world by Elle Magazine and one of the top businesswomen under 35 by Management Today.

In this conversation we discussed:

Her story about her beginnings in design and how it set her up for success in starting
Leadership and what it means to tell new stories to generate wealth and have a positive impact on others.
How she manages the ‘I don’t know’ in her leadership
The reality of taking time off as a business owner and leader and the one big thing she had to cultivate to allow herself to rest
What grace means and how it shows up in her roles and work
How her story of being too much has been overcome
The trick - how we can talk to our children about the patriarchy

In 2017, Lauren was awarded an OBE for her services to design and diversity. Lauren grew up in Scotland and now lives in Stockholm with her partner and her 5 year old son.
