MEMBERSPOTLIGHT

If you haven't met her yet, we'd like to introduce our very own, Lauren Stevens! Lauren runs her own company called Joy Worthy Co. which offers workshops that promote creativity, connection & emotional wellness!

These unique workshops let you take two hours away from the outside world to unwind, tap into your creativity, and find joy. Each workshop is designed to be a “one of a kind experience”. She offers a wide variety of interactive classes, ranging from date nights to culinary experiences to arts & crafts!

How did this idea for a company come to be? It all started as a daydream Lauren had about seven years ago. However, year after year she found herself making excuses not to start it. After having her son, Hudson (the coolest kid ever) the idea seemed even farther out of reach. Then one day, after reading “You Are a Badass” by Jen Sincero, it finally hit her - failure shouldn’t be feared! (WOO! Go, Lauren!) That moment changed everything. She left her 9-5 job, sold her house, and started Joy Worthy Co.

We highly recommend you experience a “joy worthy” moment with Lauren! Grab a friend, a partner, or go solo and make some new friends :)
