Episode 19: Lauren O’Connell: Beauty Editor, Cancer Survivor, Brand Founder

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Lauren O’Connell, beauty editor of Cosmopolitan Middle East, a science‑minded storyteller, and a woman who turned her cancer diagnosis into a catalyst for creation.

Lauren received a breast cancer diagnosis on December 15, 2023 (stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma), and made the brave decision to keep her journey off social media until she was ready, giving herself permission to heal inwardly and rebuild. With a foundation in engineering, nursing, and journalism, Lauren has always blended intellect and creativity.

In this conversation, she opens up about:

- The emotional and physical transformations from treatment, including weight gain, managing side effects, and the spiritual rituals that grounded her.

- How she channeled pain into purpose building her upcoming beauty brand rooted in innovation, authenticity, and healing.

- The role of science, spirituality, and self-care in redefining beauty on her own terms.

If you’ve ever faced adversity, felt unseen, or wondered how to rebuild meaningfully, this episode is for you. Lauren’s vulnerability and vision will leave you strengthened, inspired, and ready to embrace your own journey of reinvention.
