Get to know me!

Hey, hi, hello...I know a lot of you are new here. I just want to lay some ground rules / open the lines of communication between us. And introduce myself…

Name: Lauren

Nicknames: I don’t really have any...some people call me Laur

Occupation: Fitness and  Professional Friend who yells at you about how you spend your money

Location: THE INTERNET

Pet(s): One cat, Doo Doo

Things I love: Kombucha, basic ass pop music, cooking competition shows, cats in any capacity

Things I don’t like: Strangers touching my hair (with or without asking), indirect communication, waiting in line for things I hate doing (the post office, voting, returning something)

Astro: Sag Sun, Sag Moon, Libra Rising

Enneagram: 8..the Challenger. 

MBTI: INTP The Logician/Architect . Yes, I am an introvert. That is part of the reason I thrive online

I am a normal human being who lives OUTSIDE of the squares on your instagram (or somewhere on your screen). I wanted to remind people of that because sometimes we can become detached from the people we are engaging with online. 

This space is free of crash diets (or any diets), pain to gain exercise, and body shaming. I do occasionally share my journey of recovery, but usually we just keep it movin. I teach barre, HIIT, and I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. I love kombucha and cats and making up songs.

If you want to share my work on your stories, please do. But please try to make sure you are clearly telling people where to find me if they want to learn more. 

If you want to share my FACE on your feed, you will need to ask. It feels a lot like tokenism to have someone I have never exchanged a single message with use my face on their feed to gain diversity points. My grandma would tell you “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions” so...JUST ASK.
