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?
