Lauren Currie OBE on Confidence & Burning the Rules That Keep Women Small

Episode 11, Season 3: Confidence & Unlearning the Rules That Keep Women Small - with Lauren Currie OBE

Lauren Currie OBE is the founder of UPFRONT - an organisation on a mission to change confidence, visibility and power for 10 million women. Thousands of women across 50 countries have graduated from her flagship programme, The UPFRONT Bond.

Lauren is one of those people who makes you feel simultaneously seen, challenged and fired up. This conversation did not disappoint.

We talked about:

👉🏻 The old rule that guilt and motherhood are best friends - and why low confidence puts your nervous system on high alert to avoid conflict at all costs
👉🏻 The negativity bias 90% of people hold towards women - and how we raise children who don't internalise it
👉🏻 Tall poppy syndrome and why other women can feel like a threat - and how to reframe envy
👉🏻 What living UPFRONT actually looks like in daily life - spoiler: it's in the small things
👉🏻 Lauren's mindful practice of drawing older ladies to rewire her relationship with ageing

Lauren also talks about her children's book Taylor Meets The Trick - helping children name the patriarchy and choose fairness. If you don't own this book - go buy it!

Lauren also recommended Amie McNee's We Need Your Art as a catalyst for getting back into creativity.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
