FAQ

  • What is The Building Life?

    The Building Life is a blog and podcast created by Lauren — a single mom, storyteller, creative, and soul-seeker — exploring the messy, beautiful journey of building a life that actually feels like your own.
    We talk about everything from burnout and boundaries to motherhood, healing, creativity, and the chaos in between.

  • Who is Lauren?

    Hi, that’s me!
    I'm a mom of two amazing boys, a Media Coordinator and creative by trade, and someone who’s walked through reinvention more than once. I’m also a DIY junkie, a recovering people-pleaser, and deeply passionate about helping women reclaim their time, energy, and voice.
