Luxury doesn’t have to mean expensive - it starts with finding what’s important to you. When incorporating luxury into your brand, authenticity should always remain at the core - contrary to what you may believe, luxury brands are as such because they connect with their audiences on a personal level.

Lauren is a licensed clinical professional counselor, coach, advocate, author, and business owner of Cultivate Your Essence.
