Who is Lauren Alkhal? From Fashion Designer to Personal Growth Coach: A Journey to Shine
Hey, friend! Let’s take a moment and get real about something deeply personal. If you would’ve told me a few years ago that I’d be writing this as a personal growth coach instead of sketching my next fashion collection, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But life has this way of evolving, pushing you toward the things that are meant for you—even if they don’t look like what you imagined. So, let me share a bit about my journey and why I’ve shifted from fashion design to personal growth coaching, and more importantly, how I’m here to help you shine.
Fashion Was My First Language
I spent years in the fashion industry—an industry where creativity, aesthetics, and identity intertwine. For me, fashion was always more than fabric and trends; it was self-expression. Every piece I designed was like a message, an opportunity for someone to say, “This is who I am.” I loved that. I loved helping people feel confident, unique, and powerful through what they wore.
But as much as I loved designing, something inside me kept whispering that I was meant for more—a deeper kind of connection. It wasn’t enough to help people look their best. I wanted to help them feel their best. I wanted to dig beneath the surface and help people connect to the truest version of themselves—the one that doesn’t need clothes or makeup or a curated Instagram feed to feel whole.
A Shift Toward Purpose
That inner whisper turned into a loud calling. I found myself drawn more and more to personal development, spirituality, and the idea that everyone has a unique light that’s just waiting to be seen. The truth is, so many of us get caught up in the outside noise—what society says we should be, what our past tells us we can’t do, what fear makes us believe is impossible. And I felt that struggle personally.
Instead of ignoring my intuition, I started peeling back the layers and allowing myself to really get to know my inner calling. I took steps toward becoming a certified life coach and meditation teacher. And as soon as I began working with clients, it hit me like a wave—I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Fashion helped people express their outer selves, but coaching helps people reclaim their inner power.
Why I’m Here: To Help You Shine
I firmly believe my purpose in this world is to help you elevate your life, to amplify your unique light. And trust me, you have a light. You might not always see it—maybe it’s been dimmed by fear, past experiences, or the chaos of everyday life—but it’s there. You’re here for a reason, and you have gifts that the world needs.
My role? It’s not to give you the answers but to guide you to your own truth, to help you cut through the noise and connect to the core of who you are. I want you to see how powerful, worthy, and incredible you truly are, and to support you in living a life that reflects that.
We all need aligned help—someone to walk alongside us as we discover the things that truly make us feel alive. That’s what I’m here for. Whether it’s through my blog, Vibe Check community, or one-on-one coaching, I’m dedicated to helping you see the light within you and take steps to amplify it. Because when you shine, the whole world gets brighter.
So, if you’re ready to step into the truest version of yourself, to break free from limiting beliefs, and to start living a life that feels deeply aligned with your values and desires—then let’s walk this path together. I’m here, and I believe in you. You deserve to shine.
Own your greatness,
LA
