Lauren’s Bio
This is Lauren’s long-form bio. Please use this on your event websites and other marketing materials.
Hi friends. Welcome. Maybe you’re the high-achiever doing all the right things, yet still wondering if it’s enough. If so, you’re in the right place. Lauren Bondy is a transformational keynote speaker, women’s retreat host, and community facilitator who helps people stop shrinking and start showing up—fully and unapologetically. It’s time to learn that worth isn’t a goal—it’s the starting line.
Lauren speaks to the heart of what rural leaders feel right now. They’re burnt out. Hustling for worth. Quietly wondering if their work, voice, or story still matters. With relatable storytelling and practical action steps, Lauren helps audiences reconnect to clarity, confidence, and purpose. Whether she’s on stage, in a boardroom, or leading a retreat, she creates spaces where growth doesn’t mean abandoning who you are—it means honoring it.
On paper, she’s an agriculture teacher’s wife, rural Missouri mom to three girls, and the COO of a family-owned company that supports Missouri school districts. In her free time, you’ll find her rotating between sheep shows, late nights in the barn or orchard, or jetting off to her family’s next beach escape—or Disney trip.
Because maybe it’s time we stop chasing worth like it’s something to be earned… and start seeing it for what it really is: the foundation for everything we were always meant to build.

Already Worthy: How to Stop Shrinking and Start Showing Up Today
You know that moment when you look around and think, “I have a great life, this should be enough… So why do I feel like there should be more?” You’re not alone. Somewhere along the way, we started confusing worth with achievement. Society told us to be grateful, stay small, and smile while we stretch ourselves thin. It expects us to evolve and stay the same at the same time. And the result? Too many women stuck in the tension- craving growth, and the need for clarity, but unsure where to start.
In this transformative keynote, Lauren helps women reset and reimagine what’s possible—not by doing more, but by learning that they’re already enough. Through storytelling, lived experience, and practical tools, Lauren removes the doubt and reconnects audiences with the truth they’ve always carried: you were worthy before you proved a thing. Attendees walk away lighter, clearer, and ready to stop shrinking and start showing up—for their lives, their dreams, and themselves.

The “Worthwork” Model: Elevating Confidence, Culture, and Collective Impact
You know that moment when everything looks great on paper—metrics are met, roles are filled, and yet… something’s missing? Maybe it’s not a performance issue. Maybe it’s a worth issue. In a culture that rewards output over alignment and hustle over humanity, it’s easy for even the strongest teams to feel disconnected, burnt out, or simply go through the motions. The truth? When individuals question their value, your momentum suffers.
In this keynote, Lauren Bondy introduces The Worthwork Model—a story-driven, research-backed framework built around three powerful pillars: vision, clarity, and ownership. Through practical tools and real-life application, Lauren helps teams reconnect to purpose and lead from alignment—not burnout. Whether you're leading 3 or 300, this keynote equips your people to show up with confidence, take ownership of their role, and contribute to a culture that doesn’t just perform—but thrives.
