About Lauren
I’m Lauren Polly, MEd—a speaker, coach, and best-selling, multi-award-winning author with a passion for helping individuals, teams, and creators discover the power of emotional intelligence and authentic connection. With over 20 years of experience in Communication Disorders, I've dedicated my career to supporting people who struggle to build connections and express themselves. This journey has fueled my love for interpersonal dynamics and emotional awareness as the true "secret sauce" to success in all areas of life.
My own path, which I share in my book, The Other Side of Bipolar, offers hope and a fresh perspective on mental health. Through my journey, I invite others to reexamine their perceptions of mental illness—not as a debilitating disease but as a sign of unique capacities and emotional intelligence that are not yet fully understood. By exploring these possibilities, I discovered that true fulfillment comes from embracing our differences, going beyond labels, and harnessing our unique strengths. This perspective has empowered me to help others find peace, joy, and the courage to live a life far beyond what they may have thought possible.
