Lauren Gordon Coaching

Working Mom Coach

Hi! I'm Lauren.

Every time I read a news headline about working moms struggling or leaving the workforce, and every time I talk with friends, co-workers, and clients… I know that help is needed.

I’m here to help you.

From stressed out working mom
...to life coach for working moms

I became a working mom in 2016, and my entire life changed. Up until I had my first daughter, I had been focused on advancing my career, completing my Master’s Degree in Business Administration, and volunteering in my local community.

I loved working hard. (I still do.) I also loved the thought of starting a family with my husband and becoming a mom.

My life up until this point had stressful moments and challenges, but nothing compared to the stress, overwhelm, and guilt that came along with being a working mom.

In 2018, after I returned to my corporate job when my second maternity leave ended, I quickly realized that something had to change. I didn’t want to step back or out of the workforce because I loved my career and financially contributing to my family. But, the way I felt day after day wasn’t healthy or sustainable.

Rather than changing my job, I made a commitment to myself and my family. I dedicated a year of my life (while still working full-time) to studying the connection between our thoughts and feelings and deepening my understanding of human emotions. Along the way, I applied what I was learning to myself, and I became a dual-certified life coach.

It would be an understatement to say that I was shocked by my own transformation.

In March 2020, I gave birth to my third daughter. It was during a time of chaos and fear in the world, but I now knew how to keep myself calm and focused. I knew how to navigate uncertainty and minimize stress and anxiety. Everything I had learned over the past year was put to the test. And, it worked.

While on my third maternity leave, I started my private coaching business, working exclusively with working moms. After returning to my corporate job in 2021, I continued to virtually coach my working mom clients around the globe. The thought of navigating working full-time in a corporate job, running a coaching business, and raising three young children used to seem impossible. Instead, it’s not only manageable, but also completely fulfilling.

I am committed to being an example of what is possible for all working moms who aspire to be stress-free and guilt-free too.

When you’re ready, I would love to help you too.

A little more about me...

I am a senior leader at a global financial services company, where I have been working full-time since 2007.

I am also a dual-certified life coach.

My husband Eli and I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and we both work full-time.

Our three daughters (Cecilia, Alice, and Vivienne) have experienced a range of childcare while my husband and I work, including daycare, nannies, and public school.

You can have it all as a working mom.

It’s time to re-write the narrative that we are limited in our career trajectory or our happiness simply because we made the decision to financially contribute to our family.

I’m here to teach you how.
