Sometimes, you don’t get to casually consider change. Sometimes, you hit a wall and realize...it’s just not working anymore. That’s what happened to Lauren Williams, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Prosper Plan Wealth, based in Sacramento.

After a decade at a major firm managing a $300 million book, everything shifted—the culture, the leadership, and ultimately, Lauren herself. Burnout set in, and staying was no longer an option. But instead of leaping on instinct, she built a detailed forecast of what might follow her and what she’d need to rebuild.

It worked. Lauren co-founded a thriving, award-winning firm, reignited her purpose, and brought her true client community with her—all while partnering with New Edge Advisors, an RIA platform built for independent financial advisors.

In this episode of Advisors Off Script: Stories from the Independent Front Lines, host Shelby Nicholl of Muriel Consulting talks with Lauren about her journey of resilience, rebuilding to $200 Million in under 18 months, and reclaiming her freedom to serve clients her way.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to walk away from corporate comfort and build something entirely your own—this conversation is your blueprint for going off script.
