A bold pivot to create a life and career that aligns with Lauren Cashatt’s purpose, blending business, wellness, and nonprofit work to empower others in their own transformational journeys.
Lauren Cashatt is a testament to the power of intentional evolution, having successfully navigated a shift from corporate leadership to purposeful entrepreneurship. With more than 15 years of experience spanning leadership, business, wellness, and nonprofit advocacy, Lauren’s career trajectory has been anything but conventional. Now, as a sought-after mentor, wellness professional, and the founder of The Million Mile Project, a nonprofit dedicated to long-term recovery, Lauren guides individuals, particularly leaders and entrepreneurs toward aligned, fulfilling lives that reflect what truly matters to them.
A Corporate Journey Leading to Purposeful Change
Lauren’s professional journey began in South Carolina and ultimately led her to Hollywood, where she built a career as a stunt performer before transitioning into the wellness and leadership space. Her early work required discipline, resilience, and high-stakes execution, skills that later translated into leadership roles within the health and wellness sector. This foundation shaped her ability to operate strategically while remaining deeply people-centered, bridging performance, well-being, and leadership with purpose and integrity.
As her leadership career progressed, Lauren became increasingly clear about the kind of impact she wanted to make. While she continued to succeed in executive environments managing teams, leading initiatives, and driving growth she recognized that her strengths and long-term vision extended beyond traditional corporate frameworks.
This clarity marked a defining moment in her professional evolution. Rather than stepping away from leadership, Lauren made the intentional decision to expand it creating work that integrates strategy, wellness, service, and long-term impact in a more holistic way.
Her work focuses on empowering leaders and entrepreneurs to clarify their vision, develop a strategic plan, and design businesses and lives that resonate with their heart and soul. Whether through one-on-one mentoring or immersive leadership retreats, Lauren provides the tools and support necessary to lead with authenticity, clarity, and confidence.
The Million Mile Project: Supporting Long-Term Recovery
One of the most powerful expressions of Lauren’s purpose is her nonprofit, The Million Mile Project. This organization is dedicated to providing long-term support for individuals and families affected by Substance Use Disorder. After witnessing firsthand the struggles of loved ones seeking recovery, Lauren was moved to create a comprehensive support system that addresses gaps in the traditional recovery model.
Unlike many recovery programs that end once treatment is completed, The Million Mile Project offers treatment placement assistance, post-treatment mentorship, family guidance, and a range of holistic services designed to help individuals rebuild their lives sustainably. The program aims to provide structure, hope, and long-term support, from early recovery through long-term reintegration into society.
Lauren’s inspiration for this nonprofit stems from her belief that recovery should not be a short-term endeavor. She saw that many individuals leave treatment only to face systemic barriers that make lasting recovery difficult. The Million Mile Project offers critical resources, such as treatment scholarships, housing support, career guidance, and mentorship, to ensure that individuals can continue on their path to healing.
Leadership and Wellness Integration: Retreats for Transformation
At the heart of Lauren’s work are her immersive Business & Leadership Retreats. These retreats are designed not just as escapes from everyday life but as powerful resets, intentional, strategic experiences for leaders and entrepreneurs to step away from the noise and focus on their personal and professional growth. Lauren blends wellness with business strategy to create a holistic experience that empowers participants to clarify their vision, sharpen their strategy, and realign with their true purpose.
Retreats such as the Big Bear Business & Leadership Retreat, and those set in tranquil locations like the Outer Banks, provide participants with an opportunity to reflect, recharge, and gain clarity. These retreats combine peer-led workshops, wellness activities like workouts and hikes, and nourishing meals to help attendees reset their energy and refocus on what truly matters. Feedback from past attendees speaks to the lasting impact of these retreats, with participants leaving not only refreshed but also equipped with actionable next steps for their businesses and their lives.
A Holistic Approach to Empowerment and Leadership
Lauren’s work is rooted in a holistic approach, one that blends business mentoring, leadership coaching, and wellness practices. She believes that leadership begins with self-care, and she integrates wellness strategies into her business mentoring to ensure that her clients lead sustainable, balanced lives.
Her approach to mentoring is centered on helping individuals design businesses and careers that reflect their authentic selves. By addressing both the professional and personal dimensions of success, Lauren empowers her clients to lead with clarity and intention. She helps them develop habits that support not only their business goals but also their health and overall well-being.
A Legacy of Empowerment
Through her journey from corporate success to entrepreneurship and nonprofit work, Lauren Cashatt has demonstrated that success is not defined by external achievements but by living authentically and in alignment with one’s true purpose. She continues to inspire individuals to stop shrinking their vision and start creating lives and businesses that reflect their deepest values.
Lauren’s work in business mentoring, leadership development, wellness, and addiction recovery is a testament to the transformative power of living a purpose-driven life.
