On paper, Lauren Evans had everything: a secure corporate job, steady paycheck, even a pension. But inside her cubicle, she kept asking herself one quiet, uncomfortable question — is this it?
This is the story of what happens when you stop ignoring that question.
Lauren shares how she went from an 18-year-old UPS supervisor to the founder of Design and Streamline Solutions, where she helps small business owners reclaim time and sanity by simplifying their tech.
We talk about the real meaning of “paying your dues,” what happens when your weekends are the only time you feel alive, and how faith and courage guided her toward a business built on purpose, not pressure.
💡 In this episode:
- The early lessons that built lifelong confidence
- Why “secure” can be the most dangerous word in your career
- The turning point between staying safe and starting over
- How a side gig became her real calling
- The unfiltered truth about running your own business
- What sustainability really means when the hype fades
This isn’t a story about hustle. It’s about alignment — and the courage to build a life that finally makes sense.
