For Her
For Lauren. For every woman who's ever been the light for someone else. The Wayfinder Collective was born from love, loss, and legacy.
It began with my dear friend — my big sister in spirit — Lauren. She was one of those rare souls who saw people.
Who believed in you before you believed in yourself. The kind of friend who called you higher, reminded you of your strength, and met you in your truth — even when it was messy.
When Lauren's cancer returned, everything stopped. The world shifted. But before she passed, I asked her if I should keep going with this vision — with Wayfinder.
She nodded yes. So this isn't just my work.
It's ours. It's hers.
Lauren embodied what it means to be a Wayfinder — bold, wise, radiant, deeply human. She guided with love, lived with courage, and left behind a spark that continues to light the way for so many of us.
This space, this work, this mission — it all carries her essence. Her belief in me is what keeps me going.
Her legacy is what built this. Because as much as The Wayfinder Collective is for you, it's also for her — for the wild women who came before us, and the ones still finding their way home.
“Wild women are an unexplainable spark of life. They ooze freedom and seek awareness, they belong to nobody but themselves, yet they give a piece of who they are to everyone they meet. If you have met one, hold on to her — she'll allow you into her chaos but she'll also show you her magic.”
Lauren was that magic.
And she always will be.
