From the Big Four to coaching
Lauren spent 13 years at EY in New York, in tax and audit, and rose to senior manager. She was the classic high achiever, and she burned out on the way. The experience changed how she thinks about work, stress and success.
She built her coaching business while still working full time, after an earlier business that didn't make it, and went all in on Acheloa Wellness in 2023. She calls herself a recovering perfectionist and a recovering people pleaser, which is a big part of why her coaching favors small, realistic steps over overhauls.
Who she coaches
Through Acheloa Wellness, Lauren coaches high achievers in billable-hour and up-or-out careers: managers, partners and professionals who are very good at their jobs and stretched thin by them. Her private sessions run about $1,000.
The work is practical. Hard conversations, boundaries, decisions, managing up, and the stress and energy that come along with high-stakes work. Her training in yoga and Ayurveda shapes how she thinks about that last part.
How she coaches
Lauren's method has five parts, and she uses them in plain English:
- Awareness: get clear on what's actually going on, not just what it feels like.
- Alignment: separate what matters from what's loud or urgent.
- Action: pick a small, realistic next step. No overhauls.
- Accountability: follow through, without shame when you don't.
- Growth: change that lasts, instead of quick fixes.
Why TextLauren exists
Executive coaching changes careers, but it has been priced and packaged for the C-suite. Most managers and professionals never get a coach, and even people who have one rarely have them in the ten minutes before the meeting that matters.
TextLauren puts Lauren's coaching one text away. Jason Baptiste builds and runs the product.
How the Lauren you text works
Lauren is a real coach. You're texting an AI trained on her coaching.
Lauren Baptiste doesn't type the replies. The Lauren you text is an AI built on her methodology, on what she's learned from her client calls, and on a profile of how she writes. It coaches in her voice, remembers each person and follows up. It's built on her method, and it isn't the same as a private session with her.
