## Resource

In this episode of You’d Be Surprised , Chelsea and Becca sit down with entrepreneur, educator, author, and mom of four, Lauren Pace. Lauren shares her powerful story of infertility, motherhood, entrepreneurship, surviving brain surgery, and creating intentional connection within family life. Lauren opens up about growing up in Washington, moving to Utah State University, meeting her husband in a parking lot over a scooter, and building a life rooted in entrepreneurship and family. She discusses her background in early childhood education, earning her master’s degree in positive behavior support, and how her professional experience shaped her parenting philosophy. The conversation takes a deeply emotional turn as Lauren recounts her unexpected health crisis after suffering debilitating migraines and discovering she had a brain mass that doctors feared was cancer. She shares the terrifying uncertainty leading up to brain surgery, how her family rallied around her, and the miracle outcome that followed. Lauren also talks about her journey through infertility treatments, pregnancy loss, and motherhood, while balancing multiple businesses and raising four children.
