About
A therapist + founder helping people see real change and move forward faster.
Lauren Cheek is a therapist, entrepreneur, and founder building at the intersection of human transformation, grief, and next-generation guidance systems. She is the creator of Rapid Growth Therapy™ and founder of My Rapid Growth, her private practice, where she helps high-functioning individuals break through internal blocks, rewire limiting beliefs, and create real, lasting change.
Before becoming a therapist, Lauren spent over 12 years building brands and businesses through her creative agencies, working with some of the most recognized names in the world — including Amazon, Reebok, Bumble, APL, and Audemars Piguet. She brings a unique blend of strategic thinking, performance insight, and deep understanding of human behavior into her work today.
She is the co-founder of The Grievers Guild, a nonprofit redefining how people are supported through grief, and the co-founder and CEO of Universal Guides, an AI-powered platform designed to become the infrastructure for human guidance — helping individuals and organizations navigate life's hardest transitions with personalized, continuous support.
Lauren is also the host of the Grieving Back to Life podcast, where she shares tools, perspectives, and conversations around grief, identity, and personal evolution.
Her work is rooted in one core belief: that life's hardest moments aren't just something to get through — they're what shape you into who you're meant to become.
