What if the key to success isn’t found in a title or degree—but in your courage to act on a single, undeniable idea?
This week on Experience Over Expectation, Mary McCorvey welcomes Lauren Perez, a dynamic founder, IP consultant, and strategist who has built a powerhouse career by trusting her instincts, following her values, and staying true to her unique path.
Lauren’s journey defies convention—in the best way. She rose to the role of Vice President and Principal of a major law firm, launched a thriving consultancy, testified before Congress, and even shared a dinner table with President Obama. Her achievements weren’t driven by traditional credentials—they were built through vision, resilience, and the belief that experience is its own expertise.
In this inspiring episode, we explore:
How a single cold letter turned into a life-changing opportunity
The story behind her transition from paralegal to firm leader
What she learned through professional reinvention and personal courage
Why “lightbulb moments” matter—and how to act on yours
How to reclaim your story when others don’t understand your path
One of our favorite takeaways from Lauren:
“You can follow the rules and still create your own playbook. That’s where real freedom begins.”
Whether you’re in a season of transition or just quietly craving change, Lauren’s story is a reminder that your path doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else—as long as it feels right to you.
