A Real Voice
Lauren Nicole is the unapologetically real voice behind The X Wives Lounge Podcast, a space where raw conversations, laughter, healing, and empowerment meet.
Through her podcast, Lauren has created a powerful community for women navigating life after divorce, reminding them that their story didn’t end with heartbreak, it simply took an unexpected turn.
Born and raised in beautiful Orange County, California, Lauren’s life journey has been anything but ordinary. Growing up in a family where nonprofit work was deeply prioritized, she developed a strong sense of service and community from an early age. As a proud Big Sister in the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization, she further embraced her passion for mentorship and connection. A divorced mother and passionate storyteller, she transformed one of the most difficult seasons of her life into something meaningful, a platform where women feel seen, heard, and supported.
Her Inspiration
At the center of everything Lauren does is her daughter, her greatest inspiration and the reason behind her commitment to growth, healing, and resilience. Lauren believes that the most powerful lesson she can show her child is that when life knocks you down, you get back up, rebuild, and keep moving forward stronger than before.
Known for her signature mix of sassy honesty, blunt truth, and heartfelt vulnerability, Lauren brings conversations to the Lounge that feel more like sitting down with your most real friend than listening to a traditional podcast.
She talks openly about the highs, the heartbreak, the humor, and the healing that come with rebuilding life after divorce.
Before & After the Podcast
Before launching the podcast, Lauren built a career in marketing, including working with Surfing Magazine, where she immersed herself in surf culture, storytelling, and creative branding. Today she works in the tech industry while continuing to grow the Lounge and the community surrounding it.
Outside of podcasting, Lauren is a former competitive equestrian with a lifelong love of horses. When she’s not recording or working, you’ll likely find her at the gym, hiking California trails with her golden retriever Ryder, or relaxing with an iced latte in hand and music playing, anything from old-school hip hop and R&B to reggae or country depending on the mood. Through The X Wives Lounge Podcast, Lauren has created more than just a podcast. She has built a judgment-free space where women, “The Xies,” come together to laugh, cry, heal, grow, and rediscover their strength.
X Wives Podcast
The X Wives Lounge is more than a podcast. It’s a movement. A safe haven for women navigating divorce, separation, breakups, and every life change in between.
