On Reclaiming Purpose & Lost Identity ft. Lauren Lowrey

  • Summary

  • Sometimes all we need to make brave steps forward is a push from someone who’s made the leap themselves. Lauren Lowrey is that person. She knows the power a story can have to spur passion and hope in its hearers and she’s giving her heart, time, and talents to make sure inspiring stories are told. Not only is she an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and anchor, she is also the founder and creator of the Ampstigator podcast, a term she coined combining the ideas of amplify (to bring intensity) + instigator (someone who initiates change). She’s here to tell stories of individuals in intense pursuit of change.

    Lauren felt captivated by and called to champion the ampstigator lifestyle after personally facing a tough season of self-re-discovery. With more than 15 years of broadcast television under her belt, she finally realized she’d slowly become a version of herself she didn’t recognize. As on-camera talent, “there are a lot of things put on you that aren’t yours.” She’d be trained and tweaked and asked to fit a mold that she ultimately realized wasn’t true of her authentic self, and she began a journey – which she calls an “excavation” – to reclaim herself and her passions.

    Throughout that process, she reached a place where she realized just sharing information at the news desk wasn’t deep enough. She wanted more. She wanted richer. She wanted to ampstigate.

    “I wanted to tell stories that made a difference, that ignited change.”

    So, that’s what she’s done. Ampstigator’s first season released in February of 2022 and features 13 guests that have catalyzed setbacks, struggles, and their unique life experiences into profound pursuits of purpose. Ultimately, this is Lauren’s outlet to bring healing and hope, to showcase individuals she admires who have reconnected with what lights them up, and to remind viewers that they can do it too.

    “I wanted to show people how accessible purpose is. It can be simple and grand [at the same time].” 

    We are all created with a specific purpose or purposes for our lives. For any who feel stuck or discouraged, Ampstigator will certainly ignite the needed change in your heart and equip you to take the next right step forward.
