Ever feel like you have to move abroad to live your dream life? In this episode, Lauren Riley gets real about what freedom means to her—and why you don’t have to relocate or become a millionaire to experience adventure, novelty, and fulfillment.
Lauren shares her own journey, from her early days working in Ibiza to years of balancing travel, motherhood, and career—all without ever fully leaving the UK behind. She dispels myths about the “freedom lifestyle,” explains why home can be just as rewarding as any exotic destination, and encourages you to find what truly works for you (no judgment, no pressure to fit anyone else’s mold).
Plus, Lauren opens up about an upcoming operation, giving a behind-the-scenes look at life’s real moments and the importance of self-care as a solo parent.
In this episode:
- Why relocating isn’t the only path to freedom
- How Lauren first got started in travelling and the mistake she made
- How novelty and adventure can fit into any lifestyle—even with responsibilities
- The unique joys of balancing travel with a home base
- Honest updates from Lauren’s own life and business
Whether you’re a parent, a professional, or just someone craving more adventure on your own terms, this episode will inspire you to rethink what’s possible (and remind you that you’re not alone).

🤍 You’ll hear travel content, but I’m not an influencer. I’m a businesswoman first.
I’m Lauren Riley: a strategist who helps ambitious women design lives of freedom. Featured in Forbes, The Times, HELLO! and the BBC.
This podcast is for women who’ve built a life they’re proud of, but know there’s more. You’re too invested to walk away, but you’re too awake to stay where you are. You make good money, yet cost of living has you feeling squeezed, and you’re done believing you have to choose between your responsibilities and your happiness.
What you’ll hear here is travel and freedom lifestyle proof, but what you’re actually getting is entrepreneurial thinking applied to the freedom problem: multiple strategies stacked together so you can travel in a way that fits your real life, without abandoning your career, identity, or motherhood.
