Facing Your Complexities with Flexibility, with Lauren Popish Love Intently Podcast with Sophie Kwok

Lauren is the founder of The Wave & SWELL. She started her first podcast, Book Wine Club, in 2017 after a public speaking blunder that sparked a speaking phobia. As the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, start a podcast about it! Rediscovering her confidence through podcasting encouraged her to share it with other women struggling to tell their stories. The Wave now serves more women than ever by providing educational resources and a digital community. In 2021, The Wave launched SWELL, the first podcast editing service for women by women. Lauren still pairs her favorite reads with a glass of wine.
