Most people don’t need more information to change their lives. They already know the conversation they need to have, the boundary they need to set, the behavior they need to change, or the opportunity they need to pursue. The challenge is what happens after they know: they negotiate.
In Choose Your Miracle, Lauren Fay explores the gap between knowing and doing—and why lasting transformation begins when we stop negotiating with ourselves and make a clear decision about the direction we’re going.
Drawing from her own experience rebuilding her life after alcohol addiction, along with years spent coaching others through significant life changes, Lauren demonstrates how a single decision can alter the trajectory of a life. Not everything changes the moment the decision is made, but the decision changes what comes next. When we continue to align our behavior with that decision, we gather evidence, build self-trust, and eventually change who we become and the way we live, lead, and love.
Through powerful storytelling, audience interaction, and her signature The Decided Method, Lauren gives audiences a practical framework for moving from awareness to decision, from decision to aligned action, and from repeated action to identity-level change.
At the heart of the keynote is a different way of thinking about miracles: a moment created by a series of courageous, self-honoring decisions aligned with the person we choose to be and the life we choose to live.
You’re one decision away.
On podcasts, Lauren Fay dives deep into the intersection of identity, performance, and alcohol use-not as a problem to fix, but a symptom of underlying misalignment.
Drawing from her personal journey and coaching experience, Lauren invites ambitious women into a fresh conversation where sobriety becomes a conscious, empowering choice that unlocks clarity, confidence, and freedom. She challenges the notion that you need to hit rock bottom or label yourself to transform, speaking instead to those who appear to have it all together but feel out of sync beneath the surface.
Lauren’s podcast conversations blend honesty, nuance, and practical frameworks to explore the mental and emotional patterns behind alcohol use, the identity shifts involved in becoming alcohol-free, and how to build a life worth showing up for fully and authentically.
