Welcome to Access W/ Lauren — your new favorite space for honest, unfiltered conversations. This series is about growth, self-awareness, relationships, beauty, boundaries, and everything we navigate at this big age. No pretending. No performing. Just real talk, real perspective, and real community. If you’re a girl’s girl, you’re home.
Welcome to this episode of Access w/ Lauren. In this conversation, I’m diving into a topic that so many women experience but don’t always feel comfortable talking about: Pretty Privilege vs Pretty Punishment – and the reality of Mean Girls and Bullies at Our Big Age. I’m getting honest about how beauty can be both a blessing and a burden. Yes, it can open doors—but it can also invite jealousy, judgment, assumptions, and unfair treatment. I talk openly about why insecure behavior doesn’t magically disappear with age, and how mean girl mentalities and bullying still show up in friendships, workplaces, relationships, and even online spaces.
