Why I started Lauryn Grace Collective
There was a time when I didn’t feel like myself anymore
I didn’t feel confident in my own skin. I would change my outfit ten times before leaving the house because I hated how I looked. I’d stand in changing rooms close to tears because nothing felt flattering. I’d worry about wearing a bikini on holiday, avoid having my photo taken and spend more time comparing myself to other women than actually enjoying the moment.
That lack of confidence followed me everywhere. It wasn’t just about the way I looked. It affected how I showed up in my life. Nights out, dates, holidays, meeting new people… I was constantly thinking about how I looked instead of being present and enjoying those moments.
And with social media constantly showing us everyone else’s highlight reel, it’s easier than ever to compare yourself instead of appreciating yourself.
Then I found strength training.
“I stopped focusing on becoming smaller and started focusing on becoming stronger.”
Strength training didn’t just change how I looked. It changed how I lived. It gave me the confidence to take up space, believe in myself and show up as the woman I wanted to be. It helped me realise I was capable of so much more than I thought, and that’s the feeling I want every woman to experience.
That’s why I created Lauryn Grace Collective. Not to help women become “perfect”, but to help them stop hiding.
I want you to wear the outfit without changing ten times. I want you to book the holiday and enjoy it instead of worrying about your bikini. I want you to smile in the photos, walk into the gym with confidence and finally feel proud of the woman looking back at you in the mirror.
Because confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build.
And I’d love to help you build yours. 🤍
