hey there
I'M LAUREN MICHELLE JACKSON
Wellness. Leadership. Legacy. Let’s Build What’s Next.
Before I was a CEO, before I was a therapist — I was a little girl from the south side of Chicago with a microphone dream.
I studied Broadcast Journalism at Hampton University. I believed in the power of a story told well. Then the 2008 recession happened, I pivoted into counseling, and discovered the gift I thought was meant for a newsroom was actually meant for something deeper.
Fifteen years later I've built Cultivate Your Essence into a multi-state clinical practice, stood on national stages, spoken in boardrooms, and been featured in Essence, ABC, NBC, Fox, WGN and iHeartRadio.
And I'm just getting started.
Through the Becoming HER Framework™ — rooted in the principles of Healed, Evolved and Restored — I partner with women and organizations who are ready to stop surviving and start becoming.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT ALONE
From the Stage to the Boardroom to Your Breakthrough—Transformation Starts Here.
Whether you're a woman ready to become HER or an organization ready to build a culture of wholeness — this is where we start. My work bridges mental health, leadership, media, and coaching to create spaces where people heal, leaders grow, and organizations thrive.
Lead in your power...
The Becoming HER Framework™
Healed. Evolved. Restored.
This isn't a tagline. It's a roadmap. The Becoming HER Framework™ is the methodology behind everything I do — with individual clients, on stages, and inside organizations. It's the belief that transformation isn't just possible. It's the point. Whether you're a woman navigating who you're becoming or a leader building a culture worth staying in — the framework meets you where you are and takes you where you're meant to go.
