Fitness, Family, & Freedom : How Lauren Kagan Transformed Her Life

From escaping a strict religious cult to becoming a WBFF World Champion, best-selling author, and fitness powerhouse, Lauren Drain Kagan’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and reclaiming her power. 💪👑

We’re breaking it all the way down in this episode of the Power Alphas podcast—her upbringing in a controlling environment, being cast out at 21, and flipping the script to build a thriving fitness empire, all on her terms. From faith to fitness, spicy content to motherhood, Lauren’s journey proves reinvention is ALWAYS possible, no matter where you start.

Together, we talk about self-discipline, overcoming judgment, and turning challenges into triumphs. With stories of her WBFF wins, her experience as a nurse, and the struggles and triumphs of entrepreneurship, Lauren gives us the real, raw details of what it takes to rise above and own your legacy. This convo is for my ride-or-dies who need that extra push to take back control and make life happen FOR them!
