Welcome back to the inner sanctum lovers. This week we are joined by the gorgeous Lauren, owner of @theyoungblondesalon. Lauren was kind enough to share with us some of her incredible journey in her business and her life. The tenacity and grace Lauren has been able to show herself, her staff and her family in the face of true adversity is such a profound story and one not to be miss. Bring your tissues - you have been warned.
