    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this post, Lauren! So insightful – way to keep it in check. I relate to so many things in here and admire your vulnerability. Thanks for shining your bright light and sharing it with the world. 🙂

    I love this so much. As a classical musician, I endured 5 years of nonstop auditions before very fortunately and luckily winning a job here in Chicago. The months of preparation, followed by 5 minutes of performance and then immediate rejection (all with flights and lessons on your own dime, when you don’t have a job to begin with!), is a vicious cycle of comparison and self-deprecation. You are amazing for your healthy perspective and thriving creative voice – keep it up! We need reminders from strong women like you.

        flute – I play in the orchestra at Lyric Opera so if you make it to our production of West Side Story, come down to the pit and say hi! I also got married a couple years ago, wish your awesome bridal boutique post had been around then 🙂 Love it
