Lauren always made me feel validated and I could always tell she was truly listening to what I was saying. I'm so thankful to have gotten to talk with her.

Lauren had been so supportive. Listens to my concerns, never passes judgement but gives me great perspective and encouragements. She’s the best. Love her.

Lauren has been nothing short of helpful whenever I need her. My life has drastically changed since we’ve started talking and my only regret about it is not talking to her sooner.
