What challenges has Lauren faced in her journey from cardiac surgery?
When you reflect back on the things you've been through and what you've overcome and the resilience that you have to navigate these challenges in life, I think that's probably what lets me know I'm going to be okay because I don't think it's a quality that people even realize they have.
For sure.
So they don't know how to nurture it. I am my own driving force when it comes to that. I built the resilience. I develop it. I continue to challenge it in many ways. For sure. Just to see how close I didn't get to falling on my face and getting back up. Lauren Velkoff is a resilient, precision-driven, and visionary entrepreneur, leadership consultant, and the founder of Lana Beauty Bar. Drawing from her journey in high-stakes medical environments, she empowers others to build resilience, embrace transformation, and lead with confidence and purpose. I don't know that I can get through this day, but then you get through the day, and then you get through the next day, and you get through the next day, and then you look back and you're like, dang, that was pretty resilient, wasn't it?
What else can I do?

Welcome to another episode of the Live In Your Legacy podcast, the Women in Power edition. For Inside Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is quite the precision surgeon, if you will, Lauren Velcroff? Velcoff. Velcoff. I know that on my second try. I see. Get used to that. This is your first podcast, so folks will just politely mispronounce your last name to build repertoire. Welcome to the show.
Such a rapport here. Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm glad to be here. Right on.
You're fresh off your episode of Women in Power. How do you feel?
I feel good. I feel really happy with the way it went. You know, I kind of tried to prepare, but I'm not much of a preparation person when it comes to stuff like this.
The surgeon. Yeah.
Aside from that.
How does Lauren define resilience in her life and career?
You know, it's just, you know, you kind of get your head around the... I guess the preparatory part is getting your head around, you know, what kind of to anticipate, but not to get too specific because you don't want to take that authenticity away when you answer questions. So I really tried to like have a idea of what, but I thought, wow, man, they're going to ask the questions about me. Who's better to answer them than me? So.
How did you think you did? I thought it was good.
I actually thought the questions were, you know, I guess driven by my responses from the initial meeting of you guys. And so I was a good driving force there. Just, you know, everything kind of comes together. It's just like, you know, blowing pieces of paper together. So it just, it worked and meshed well. So the answers just came very naturally and smoothly, which I felt really confident about.
Where do you want to begin your story? The surgery, your surgery profession, your mentoring, your coaching, where do you want to begin?
Let's just wrap it up in a nutshell. You know, if we go back to like high school, you know, very involved in athletics and always striving for big goals there. And then, you know, let me down and a very, very, you know, intentional path of healthcare, which was fun and great and rewarding and very challenging. I'm always up for a challenge. So every phase of my life seems to be, you know, what's the next challenge? Where am I going now? Because I'm not a person that just kind of gets to like the top and then I'm just like, okay, whatever. I'm here. You know, there's so much more out there to do. So I just I just kind of keep finding myself taking the next step or the next leap of faith, you know, and I'm happy with the fact that I have enough faith in myself to jump off and know I'm going to be OK.
So is it all faith driven in yourself that you're running towards your North Star or what's what's your driving force?
