Welcome to AMPLIFY, because blending in is bull****. I’m your host, Lauren Salaun, and I’m a PR and marketing expert, entrepreneur, speaker, former red carpet host, past athlete and fitness model, and recovering workaholic-perfectionist-over-achieving control freak. I’m equal parts magical unicorn, alien, mermaid, and a whole lotta big queen energy. I believe that my purpose on this planet is to help you live your most abundant, aligned, and authentic life. This is a podcast for people who know they are here to make a difference in the world with their unique gifts, people who know they are meant for more, people who do life on their own terms – people just like you. You were not put on this planet to play small or to blend in. You are here to stand the f* out. You are here to live a life that is aligned and abundant. You are here to make an impact as the most unapologetically expressed version of YOU. Each week on AMPLIFY, I’m bringing you episodes to guide you in activating your truth, owning your voice, and sharing your magic with the world, because you and I, we are not meant to blend in. We are here to stand out, make a big impact, and live a ridiculously fulfilling, vibrant, and abundant life. You can expect interviews with entrepreneurs, thought leaders, influencers, and other badass humans, panel discussions, and solo episodes with yours truly. We’ll cover topics ranging from business and entrepreneurship, mindset, health and fitness, self love and self care, spirituality, lifestyle design, sexuality, relationships, current events, and more. That’s right, we are going to cover it all — and we’re gonna do it raw, real, and unfiltered. It’s my intention that when you listen to AMPLIFY, that you feel inspired, activated, loved, accepted, ready to take action, energized, free, and sometimes even triggered. I want this show to support you in your continued growth and fulfillment. And when you listen each week, I want you to feel like you are right here in the room with me and my guests. Are you ready?

In this heartfelt episode, Lauren Salaun sits down with Lauren Donahue, a storyteller, adventurer, and relationship builder who has spent her life fostering meaningful connections. With a background in sports media and a deep passion for community, Lauren has navigated profound experiences—including egg donation, personal loss, and the transformative Camino retreat—that have shaped her perspective on faith, resilience, and personal growth.
Together, they explore themes of surrendering to God’s plan, overcoming feelings of unworthiness, and cultivating gratitude for life’s simplest pleasures. Lauren opens up about her emotional journey of freezing her own eggs, the unexpected relationships formed through her six egg donations, and how this experience reshaped her view of family, purpose, and faith. She also shares her lifelong dream of becoming a sports reporter, her mother’s initial resistance to her choices, and the lessons she has learned about trusting life’s direction.
The conversation takes a deep dive into the power of community and self-discovery, particularly through Lauren’s transformative experience on the Camino retreat. She shares how this spiritual pilgrimage became a teacher and provider, helping her navigate grief, personal loss, and the pursuit of a more peaceful, intentional life.
From handling negativity and criticism with humor and grace to embracing faith and resilience in the face of adversity, this episode is packed with wisdom on living with intention in 2025, no matter the chaos that unfolds.
