• Can AI Help You Sell in a More Soul-Aligned Way with Lauren Shaw of the Laurens

  If you’ve been feeling the shift in how women are selling, leading, and showing up… this episode is going to meet you right where you are. We are in a moment where the old models of sales no longer fit, and yet the new ones ask us to bring more of ourselves — our intuition, our energy, our truth — into the work. Kami Guildner is joined by Lauren Shaw, one-half of The Laurens, whose work is helping women sell high-ticket offers in a way that feels grounded and soul-aligned. Lauren has personally sold over $5 million in premium coaching programs, and she brings a refreshing, feminine lens to both sales and technology. This is a conversation about selling with more resonance. Leading with more truth. And letting AI be a tool that amplifies your brilliance — not overrides it. In This Episode: Lauren’s journey as a nomad entrepreneur building a thriving business while traveling the world, and how time in nature and deep reflection helped her listen to her resistance, reconnect her spirituality with her work, and reclaim more joy in her business. The creation of the Quantum Breakthrough GPT, how it “listened” to her story, reflected her truth back, and helped her own the spiritual side of her work. Why AI can be a powerful mirror for our inner stories, and why Lauren calls it the most feminine technology we have ever had. How thousands of women have used the Quantum Breakthrough GPT to dissolve resistance, book sales calls, and say yes to higher-level opportunities. The energetic side of selling, and why so many heart-centered women carry invisible contracts around worthiness, receiving money, and visibility. Why strategy cannot fully work until we start to rewrite the internal stories that shape how we show up to sales and marketing. Simple ways to start playing with AI so it becomes a supportive partner in your life and business, instead of something to fear. Lauren Shaw is one half of the entrepreneurial duo known as “The Laurens.” She’s a heart-first sales expert who has personally sold over $5 million in premium coaching programs by turning sales calls into grounded, meaningful conversations. As co-founder of The Sales Breakthrough Experience™ and The AI Sales Accelerator™, Lauren and her business partner, Lauren Capwell, help women entrepreneurs master high-ticket sales without feeling fake or forceful. Their work blends intelligent sales strategy with the energetic and subconscious shifts that make selling feel natural and aligned. Lauren has walked this path herself, and she’s here to share that journey with us today. About the Host: Kami Guildner believes women’s voices matter. She is a connector. A storyteller.

In This Episode: What it means to be in a season of transition—personally, professionally, and culturally—and how to move through the uncertainty with grounded strength. How women can stop outsourcing stability and start sourcing identity, clarity, and agency from within. Why overachievement, perfectionism, and self-doubt are not personality traits, but conditioned survival strategies—and how to release them. How to recognize when you’re in the “in-between” and how to trust what’s unfolding—even when it feels like nothing’s working. What authentic power really means (and why it’s different from what we’ve been taught). How Jill’s anti-racism work, women’s book circles, and local leadership have shaped her business and message. The role of community in helping women reconnect with their power, purpose, and voice.
