Featured Guest: Lauren Tarpley

"I am elated with 97% of my life. And I think that's fair... My husband says, 'You can make more money. I can’t make another you.' And so it’s health that is wealth."

After a career in tech strategy and customer success, a breast cancer diagnosis at 34, and 11 surgeries, Lauren Tarpley reached a moment of clarity. Today, she’s building a micro-nature school on six acres of raw land, running The Farmacy CHS, and living what she calls 97% her dream. Lauren’s Way Out isn’t about escape. It’s about reclamation.
