Reinventing Your Career: How to Move Forward When the Plan Changes with Lauren Wilson

What do you do when the career path you worked so hard to build suddenly changes—no longer fits? In this episode of Her Workplace Unfiltered, Marilynn Joyner sits down with Lauren Wilson, strategic consultant, and commerce, emerging tech, and brand founder to explore what it really means to reinvent your career. After spending five years building her startup Dora Maar, Lauren made the difficult decision to close the company in 2024. What followed was not just a career pivot, but an identity shift—forcing her to rethink who she was without the company she built. Through that season, Lauren found unexpected clarity by training for and running the New York City Marathon, which became a powerful metaphor for how to keep moving forward when the plan falls apart. Since then, she’s continued to build across luxury commerce, creators, and AI, working with JOOPITER and Fluency—proof that reinvention doesn’t mean starting over. Together, Marilynn and Lauren talk about navigating uncertainty, making bold career moves, rebuilding confidence, and designing a career that evolves as you do. 00:00 - Early Fashion Passion and Education 02:09 - Professional Experience and Moda Operandi 03:08 - Conceiving Dora Mar 04:31 - Launching and Growing Dora Mar 05:48 - Scaling, Creators, and Growth 07:47 - Personal Drive and Leadership Philosophy 09:03 - Overcoming Confidence Barriers 12:34 - Facing the Decision to Shut Down 14:12 - Coping with Closure and Team Support 16:18 - Founder Lessons and Fundraising Insights 20:19 - Marathon Metaphor and Future Direction 23:38 - Guidance for Career Transitions and Next Steps 28:02 - Final Reflections, Habits, and Contact Information 32:28 - Episode Wrap-up and Thanks Instagram: @herworkplaceunfiltered @herworkplace TikTok: @herworkplaceunfiltered @herworkplace Join Her Workplace - www.herworkplace.com Follow Her Workplace on LinkedIn -   / herworkplace   Subscribe to Our Newsletter - https://herworkplace.myflodesk.com/pn...
