We recently had the chance to connect with Lauren Salz and have shared our conversation below.
Lauren, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Lately, I’ve been pouring my heart into something that feels both personal and expansive: creating sacred containers of connection for women in transition. These aren’t just events or programs—they’re spaces where women can exhale, be witnessed, and realign with what matters most. There’s something so life-giving about gathering with other high-capacity women who are ready to stop performing and start remembering who they are. It’s a slower, deeper kind of work—and it’s bringing me so much joy to imagine and build something that honors both the softness and the fire we carry.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Lauren Salz—a boy mama, third-generation entrepreneur, and the creator of sacred spaces for high-capacity women who are craving more alignment, connection, and clarity in their lives and businesses. My work lives at the intersection of emotional depth and strategic action.
After starting my career in real estate alongside my husband, I began to notice how often women—especially those juggling ambition, motherhood, and identity—were silently carrying so much. That realization led me to start building what I now call “containers of connection”—masterminds, retreats, and spaces where women can slow down, be seen, and recalibrate what success really means to them.
What makes this work so meaningful to me is that it’s not about more noise or more doing. It’s about coming home to yourself—and building from there.
Right now, I’m working on launching a yearlong mastermind designed for women navigating the “in-between” season—those subtle (but powerful) moments where you know you’re ready for something deeper, even if you can’t name it yet. It’s thoughtful, high-touch, and deeply personal. Just like the women it’s built for.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My mom. She was kind, deeply emotional, smart, and endlessly curious—always willing to learn and grow. She loved a good glass of scotch, prayed constantly, and had this quiet, unwavering belief in me that I didn’t yet have in myself. She saw my softness as strength, my depth as purpose, and my words as something sacred. Even now, so much of what I’m building is rooted in the way she saw me—and in the way she taught me to see others.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I finally processed the pain rooted in abuse, addiction, and abandonment—the full childhood trauma alliteration of chaos. For a long time, I wore resilience like armor. But once I stopped pretending I was fine and started honoring the tenderness underneath, everything shifted. As an adult child of an alcoholic, I learned early how to read a room, hold space, and make people feel safe. Now, I see those same instincts as sacred tools—ones I use every day to create containers of real connection, where women can stop performing and start healing.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely. I’m a realtor and entrepreneur, yes—but more than that, I’m the voice and heartbeat of our home and our business. Whether I’m leading a mastermind circle or walking clients through a real estate transaction, I show up with the same values: connection, honor, and truth. I believe authenticity is the most sustainable brand strategy—and the most sacred form of leadership.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
That I brought joy. Not the loud, performative kind—but the quiet, contagious kind that made people feel safe, seen, and just a little more themselves. That I created spaces where women could exhale, where families could land, and where truth and tenderness always had a seat at the table. That I turned my pain into purpose—and left people better, lighter, and more loved because of it.
