Working with Lauren was a turning point for us. We’d been stuck for months until she entered with that calm, grounded presence and gently helped us to slice through the noise.
Her gift is clarity: she sees people deeply and helps them see themselves more clearly too. In just a few sessions, we found momentum again and launched into a completely new phase of our work. It felt transformative.
I’d recommend her to any founder, leader, or creative feeling blocked.

Working with Lauren was truly transformational.
Before working with Lauren, I felt completely overwhelmed. Each day began with my mind racing through an impossibly long to-do list, with a feeling of mounting panic. As a filmmaker who founded a busy film fund and creative hub, I already had enough on my plate before taking on our most ambitious challenge yet. Add to this ongoing filmmaking projects and assisting aging parents with our family business, and I was trying to keep all the balls in the air while the sheer stress had me swinging between tearful and manic. It simply wasn't working.
Our sessions with Lauren were transformational. She has the unique ability to deeply, deeply listen and reflect back real issues and blocks while simultaneously identifying strengths and successes in a way that is profoundly insightful, perceptive, and integrity-filled.
Her approach goes far beyond surface-level coaching—she identifies patterns, connections, and possibilities that aren't immediately obvious. Many that I hadn't even realized existed.
One of the very helpful moments was how she enabled us to relate with "radical honesty"— allowing ourselves to speak the unsaid truths that were holding us back. She guided us away from perfection-paralysis towards "imperfect action," showing us that progress lives in motion. Most importantly, she helped us understand that burnout isn't from the work itself, but from how we feel about the work, encouraging us to choose excitement over obligation.
Our time with Lauren has renewed my energy and sense of purpose by helping my co-founder and I to imagine an entirely new way of being, working, and relating to each other as co-founders.
I'm astonished at how powerfully Lauren's guidance has shaped and, in many ways, "freed" us. We were capable doers and leaders to begin with, but Lauren was able to help us unearth insights that unlocked energy and ability.
Her reminder that "you're not just shaping a space—you're shaping a way of being in partnership, in leadership, and in community" continues to guide our work daily. I look forward to continuing our journey with Lauren as we hit new milestones which will require us to unlock even greater personal strengths.
Thanks Lauren!

I began working with Lauren in early 2024—possibly even late 2023—right around the time I got engaged and found myself in what felt like an identity crisis. I was trying to plan for my future, feeling the ground shift beneath me as I stepped into a new phase of life. Our very first insights call was nothing short of eye-opening. It helped me begin to envision a life where I could actually have it all. From that moment on, I was hooked.
At the time, I wasn’t ready to commit to working with her regularly. But the seed had been planted. Fast forward to 2025, and I finally made that commitment—and it has been one of the most transformational decisions I’ve ever made.
Before working with Lauren, I wouldn’t say I was confused, but I was certainly in a state of consistent uncertainty. I could sense a shift coming, but I had no idea how to navigate it. I was grappling with complex questions: What does it mean to be a Black professional woman in corporate America today, especially amid industry-wide layoffs and rapid change? Where do I stand in all of this?
I'd tried therapy—five or six sessions, in fact—and quickly realized this wasn’t a therapy situation. I didn’t need to unpack my past; I needed a strategic, forward-thinking approach. That’s what Lauren offered. I had zero hesitation about hiring a coach. In fact, I believe coaching is something everyone should explore if they can. It’s not just about solving problems—it’s about becoming your own mental coach. That mindset shift alone is revolutionary.
Working with Lauren has sparked one of the most significant mental transformations of my life. I stand taller now. I speak with more clarity. I no longer question whether I’m an imposter; I recognize that what I once called "imposter syndrome" was actually fear—fear of my own potential. And now, I’ve decided to own that potential. I’ve realized it’s not just potential—it’s truth.
Lauren helped me see myself differently. We joked once that I’m the garnishment on a Michelin-star dish—not just decoration, but a finishing touch that elevates the entire experience. That’s what I bring to every table I sit at.
I used to wonder, Can I have it all and still be happy? Because the truth is, I was deeply unhappy—not with my life or my accomplishments, but with my ability to enjoy them. I was constantly chasing something, not even knowing what that “something” was. Lauren helped me reconnect with myself. I rediscovered that I’m emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and deserving of peace. Somewhere along the way, I had stopped trusting myself. Now, I trust myself deeply.
One of the most powerful shifts I’ve made is choosing alignment over ambition. And that alignment? It’s brought joy, presence, and confidence back into my life. Lauren’s coaching doesn’t just inspire—you leave each session feeling capable. She listens with intention, validates your feelings, and challenges your thinking—not your feelings—and pushes you to go beyond the obvious.
Her guidance has not only transformed how I show up for myself, but it’s also translated into how I lead at work. I used to be praised as a "taskmaster," but now I understand—I’m not just getting things done. I’m a strategist. And I would never have had the language or courage to say that without Lauren’s support.
I highly recommend Lauren not just as a coach, but as an incredible friend and partner. I love that she’s just one text away, and when I need to turn on the bat signal, she’s there—guiding me through whatever I’m facing. Often, the truth is, I already knew the solution. Lauren knew it too, and she would gently but firmly push me to trust myself—my intuition.
Thank you, Lauren, for everything you have taught me, for every moment of support, and for always holding space for me to become my fullest self. I am deeply grateful.

I have been working with Lauren for over three years now, and the growth I've experienced both personally and professionally is nothing short of remarkable. Before I began coaching with Lauren, I struggled with imposter syndrome and wasn't sure how to scale my business as a Black woman in an industry that isn't always friendly to us. I felt overwhelmed and often doubted my ability to succeed in such a competitive space.
Before reaching out to Lauren, I tried various methods to resolve these issues on my own, including reading self-help books and attending workshops. While these efforts provided temporary relief, they did not address the root of my challenges or provide a sustainable path forward.
Initially, I had some apprehensions about engaging a coach. I worried whether someone could truly understand my unique struggles and provide the support I needed. However, from our very first session, Lauren's commitment to helping me not just fit in but stand out was evident. She embraced my purpose and vision, helping me rebuild my confidence and own my space where I could create the most impact.
Through Lauren's guidance, I have seen a significant transformation in my confidence and my ability to influence the spaces I'm in. I am no longer just trying to keep up, I am making strides and leaving a mark. One of the key milestones I've reached through our coaching is successfully scaling my business and launching new initiatives that align with my values and goals.
Lauren's coaching has been a beacon of light on my journey, helping me navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories. Her unwavering support and strategic insights have empowered me to step into rooms I previously believed weren't meant for me and to create a lasting impact.
If you are considering working with Lauren, I encourage you to take the leap. Her coaching is transformative, and your story could be the inspiration that guides others to embrace their purpose and vision.

Before working with Lauren, I felt like I was lost and uninspired, I didn’t know where I fit in and what my value was. My biggest issues were definitely impostor syndrome and confidence. I tried reading books, watching videos and just tried to work through the issues by overworking at my regular job and side hustle to keep my mind occupied. The result was me experiencing a mild stroke and being hospitalized. Overworking and not seeking out the proper help and support to address these issues played a major factor in that result. I had hit rock bottom and was ready to give anything a try. I was tired of feeling the way I was feeling, I was ready for a change and put the work in to make that happen. Through coaching sessions and constant advice from Lauren I have been able to rise from a volunteer to a Manager of Programming for a nation-wide organization to now Lauren giving me the advice and reassurance to ‘bet on myself’. I have now entered back into the world of entrepreneurship and am now the Chief Operating Officer at my new venture – The HOOK & Company.

I vividly remember the moment I filled out the inquiry form for Lauren Morrison's coaching services. I felt frantic and lost, yet hopeful. I was at a crossroads, knowing I was capable of more but unsure how to get there. Confidence was a major struggle, and I found it hard to give myself permission to pursue bigger goals and step outside my comfort zones.
Over the years, I've sought guidance from mentors and devoured countless self-help books. While those were helpful, working with Lauren was the light switch I needed to break down my mental barriers. Her consistency and accountability helped healthy behaviors and thoughts finally take root.
Whenever you make a financial investment, you wonder if it will be worth it. With Lauren, the answer is a resounding yes.I can confidently say that I am transformed and have grown immensely since working with Lauren. My mindset has shifted; my confidence has soared. Instead of dwelling on what might go wrong, I now focus on the proof of all the things I've done right.
Since partnering with Lauren, I've been promoted to head of my department, significantly boosted my confidence, started writing my book, and found harmony between work, life, parenting, marriage, and my personal goals.
Initially, I thought enlisting a coach would be a short-term commitment leading to a new job or career path. What I received was so much more. Lauren is now a permanent part of my journey, and I'm incredibly grateful to know I can always turn to her. Progress is a constant journey, and while there are challenging times, I no longer have to face them alone.

At the time, I reached out to Lauren, I was drowning in a sea of frustration and anger because of some challenging relationships at work that created some insecurities in me in terms of my capability to do my job and lead my team. I wanted to get a coach that would be able to help me think objectively and help me action plan how to resolve some of the issues or at least pinpoint what the issues were. It was important to me to work with a coach that could relate to my plight as a black, woman Leader in a world where I am the exception.
Lauren has the keen ability to pinpoint the root cause of an issue and frame it in a way that makes the issue more understandable and therefore more actionable. I am always on the hunt to better understand and gain insights into the whys so that I can adequately resolve issues. Lauren has been a phenomenal sounding board to help me think through those issues, separate the “stories” from the facts so that I can objectively address. She’s helped me identify what drives me and the source of my “insecurities” – it has truly helped me to keep myself more accountable, show up for myself so that ultimately, I can be proud of how I show up. In many ways, she’s giving me the additional push I needed to step into my power, continue to challenge the status quo.
She has a gift and I would recommend her to anyone.

I started working with Lauren at a moment in my career that was really exciting. I had a big job that was enjoyable and challenging but also overwhelming, and I wanted to make sure I was successful. I was confident in my ability but aware of my gaps and needed help sorting through it all. Leadership can be lonely, and having Lauren as a coach was exactly what I needed. As a black woman it was also important to me that my coach understood not just what I needed as a leader to excel but the complexities of being a woman of color in corporate America. My bi-weekly sessions with Lauren were a game changer. She has a way of guiding you through piles and piles of context to clear decision making. She’s patient, she’s thoughtful, she asks exactly the right questions to get you where you need (and want) to be. I’ve never felt more equipped as a leader as I did when being coached by Lauren and I’d recommend her over and over again.

Reflecting back on the 6-months journey with Lauren as my coach, it’s actually quite unbelievable just how far I’ve come along in terms of personal growth in such a short period of time.
I can honestly say that with Lauren’s guidance and support I’ve successfully managed to get out of my own way in ways that I only once dreamed of. It is truly a blessing to finally wake up each day with confidence and excitement, knowing that I am making progress towards my goals.
Lauren has the uncanny ability and insight to be exactly what you need in the moment, making her coaching extraordinarily effective. Even a single breakthrough would’ve been worthwhile for me, but I experienced major shifts in at least six areas, including overcoming self-doubt, gaining clarity and focus, discovering my own inner self-discipline, embracing my self-worth, navigating difficult conversations, and developing highly efficient time management.
If you go into this with the right mindset of total commitment for a life-changing shift, make this investment in yourself and you’ll never be the same.

Before Lauren became my coaching mentor, I felt very lost. The field is fairly new, and I did not know any successful, ICF certified coaches of color. I was just joining this course as a part of my master's program. My program was ICF accredited and was great for training, however, Lauren helped me to identify what was holding me back in my coaching sessions with clients. To be honest, my mentoring sessions with Lauren were more helpful than my master's program. She has been selfless in sharing her wisdom, tips, and coaching tools. I could not have finished my program without her guidance and encouragement. As a result, I was able to host my first coaching group where I was able to sign my first client after completing my certification course. I am now on my way to getting my ACC credential. Lauren is a great representation of what being a genuine, empathetic, and intuitive coach looks like. I could not have asked for a better mentor and coach. When working with Lauren, in any capacity, you are assured to get results, a genuine spirit, insight, and an action plan. Get ready to confront and overcome those limiting beliefs.

Before I started working with Lauren I felt incredibly stuck in my career. I felt that because I was a teacher with no other accomplishments, I wouldn't be considered valuable in any other field. Prior to meeting her, I knew I wanted to transition into a new career, but the feeling of despair had so much control that I ended up in therapy. Therapy helped some, but it didn't help me realize there was a way out.
Before we met for the first time I was extremely nervous and didn't know what to expect. She, however, made me feel extremely comfortable and surprisingly didn't do much talking, which was powerful. After a few sessions I started to see this journey I was on was in fact nothing special, therefore if other people transitioned, I could too. She helped me understand that the work I did as an educator would be just as valuable in another field if I sold myself correctly.
I am still in the process of transition but thanks to Lauren, if has become easier to navigate. I have real expectations for the journey and it has helped me in the times I wanted to quit keep pushing, knowing that something better will come, just like it has for others.
I would absolutely recommend a friend to Lauren because it has been well worth the investment. She truly understands how to coach people and growth will come with time and effort because she genuinely cares for her clients and their success.

I went to Lauren with corporate issues and feeling stuck in general. I felt I’d reached an impasse with my ability to grow where I currently was. I’d met with other life coaches and tried their models, but nothing was creating motion. So I signed up for a call with Lauren and this was easily one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my life. The journey with her as my coach was truly transformational. I had many things going on and she helped me organize and prioritize to cut through the noise. Lauren was more than a coach, she knew how to break down barriers I didn’t even know were holding me back. Working with Lauren was not just a professional journey, it was a personal one. I was finally promoted and discovered my confidence. She went above and beyond, gave me the tools to continue on, and I’m so fortunate I decided to work with her. If you’re lost, stuck, or frustrated like I was, or just need some guidance, Lauren is the coach to call. She asks the tough questions, is incredibly intuitive, intelligent, and professional.

I went to Lauren with corporate issues and feeling stuck in general. I felt I’d reached an impasse with my ability to grow where I currently was. I’d met with other life coaches and tried their models, but nothing was creating motion.

My first call with Lauren was in February 2021- a few weeks after I had had my second baby. My husband and I had been mapping out our hopes, visions and dreams every year for several years.
I had wanted to get a personal & business coach for several years, interviewed several people but it was only when life got very very busy with baby number 2 and that I was ready to make the big change I had dreamt of for years to give my kids a better life, that I knew it was time to get that support! I found Lauren on social media and from the first intro call- I knew she was the one!
So I started weekly calls with Lauren while breastfeeding or holding my newborn and each week I could feel my personal growth while witnessing my daughter's growth. Those calls were my weekly reset and moment of peace. We were living in Ottawa at the time and we had always wanted to leave but the golden handcuffs we were in were too comforting. The more I spoke to Lauren, the more I realized I really had to step out of my comfort zone and take a leap of faith!
I had started a new job that on paper & in my bank account looked wonderful. But I was miserable and did not feel I was showing up as my best self at work, for my family or for myself. It was a tough time and Lauren and I worked weekly together on some of the professional difficulties I was encountering in this new role. A few months into coaching, hard work and self-reflection, we took the leap and moved to Kenya! It sounds dreamy and easy but there were many ups and downs along the way, huge risks involved and so much uncertainty.
My family and I honestly could not have done it without Lauren's questions, guidance and support. She is so incredibly intelligent, driven and asks the right questions and you would be lucky to have her by your side in your personal and/or professional endeavors. We love you Lauren!

When I encountered Lauren and the Make the Shift course I was at a low point in my life. I knew I wasn't living in my purpose and up to my potential. At my core, I recognized things had to change however I felt stuck and trapped in my circumstances. I was in a career that no longer served me, I had a daughter who was struggling with mental illness, as well as I had suffered a life altering illness, which left me with permanent physical disabilities.
During the consultation, I verbalized I didn't know if her program/coaching could help someone like me. What Lauren said in response was simple, she said what if you could accept that two things could be true at the same time. Even though things are challenging you could have purpose and joy in your life. Do you believe it is possible? Without hesitation, I said "yes, but I don't know how". Lauren then confirmed this course was indeed for me as well as her willingness to work with me. I signed up for the program after I ended the call determined to finally invest in myself. I was impressed with Lauren. She was direct, sincere, and honest. I leaned into the fear, doubt, and uncertainty I was feeling because I knew something greater awaited me on the other side. I had faith that Lauren could help me get to the next level in my journey.
The course as well as Lauren's coaching did not disappoint. As a coach, Lauren is intuitive and she asks questions that allowed me to think and reflect. She gave me the opportunity to explore the limiting beliefs that were crippling me and holding me back from reaching my full potential. Through this course and working with Lauren I went from feeling life was happening to me to feeling empowered in my life. I have a confidence now and a belief in myself I thought I had lost. This is not a magical program and Lauren is not a magician who can make all your worries, fears, and issues go away. Nor will she serve as your "yes person" enabling you to fall back into old patterns and habits. Lauren, is a coach who will listen empathically, challenge you, and be your biggest cheerleader. If you are willing to put in the work and be honest with yourself to take meaningful steps in your life or career, the Make the Shift program and Lauren as your coach will change your life in ways you could only imagine.

I was a little confused and overwhelmed about which direction I should take with my business ideas. One conversation brought me the clarity I needed to really move forward confidently with a decision that made me feel like it was the right thing to do. I was feeling stuck, at a crossroads and had hit a plateau I just didn't know how to get out of. I had never worked nor met with a business coach before but had been following Lauren for a while because she is someone I can relate to and identify with as a woman of color myself and I was drawn to both her energy and was she stands for. My mindset shifted quickly and I am now able to make a bold move that will be a game-changer in the trajectory I intend to follow to work on something I am passionate about. I urge you to contact Lauren if you're looking for someone dedicated, and knowledgeable who will guide you and inspire you to uplevel your life or your business to reach your true potential!
