Hi, I'm Lauren
Certified Christian Life Coach
My Story
For many years, I was living what looked like a dream on paper.
I was a Chemical Engineer, deeply fulfilled by my work, trusted with leadership opportunities, and challenged in ways that helped me grow. I spent 19 years in the industry, leading teams, solving complex problems, and walking alongside people through growth, change, and hard decisions. I was taught coaching skills and used them daily with my team. I loved my job (even when it was difficult!) — truly.
But slowly, something began to fracture.
The long hours and constant pull of responsibility started to cost me more than I realized. The work I was good at doing was pulling me away from the people I loved most. My heart was torn between being fully present at work and fully present at home. And deep down, I knew something had to change — not because I was failing, but because I was being invited into something different.
I needed to get home to my kids.
That season of being torn between two good things became a holy turning point.
As I prayed, reflected, and listened, God began to gently but clearly reshape my understanding of success and identity. I was reminded that before any title, role, or achievement, my true identity is this: I am a child of God. Everything else flows from that truth.
Looking back, I see that God had been preparing me all along.
Through years of leadership, mentoring, and navigating high-pressure environments, I was coaching every day — listening deeply, asking thoughtful questions, helping others gain clarity, and walking with them as they moved forward. What came naturally to me wasn’t just problem-solving; it was people-solving. Heart work. Growth work.
That’s where my passion lives.
Today, as a Certified Christian Life Coach, I help people get unstuck through intentional, one-on-one conversations that go deeper than surface solutions. I create space for honesty, clarity, and faith-centered transformation. I believe lasting change happens when we invite God into the process, do the hard work on our thought patterns, and courageously face what’s holding us back.
If you’re feeling stretched, uncertain, or stuck between where you are and where you know God is calling you — you’re not alone.
It would be an honor to walk alongside you.
Why Choose Pursuing Peace Coaching with Lauren Gibson?
At Pursuing Peace Coaching, we focus deeply on your thought life — because your thoughts shape your emotions, your relationships, and the direction of your life.
What makes my approach unique is the integration of two powerful foundations: the truth of the Gospel and the neuroscience research of the last few decades.
Scripture calls us to renew our minds, and modern neuroscience shows us how change is actually possible. God designed our brains with the ability to form new pathways — which means transformation isn’t just spiritual language, it’s biological reality.
In our work together, we don’t just talk about peace — we practice it. You’ll learn how to identify unhelpful thought patterns, retrain your brain with truth, and build habits that align with who God is calling you to be.
This is thoughtful, faith-centered, practical coaching for women who are ready to move forward with clarity and calm.
