About Me

Hi! I'm Lauren.

From chaos to creativity — I'm making bracelets instead of bad decisions.

I’ve been making bracelets for years, long before I started taking myself (or life) seriously. What used to be a random hobby turned into therapy with beads. Somewhere between recovery meetings and tangled string, Hope & Hustle Co. was born.

My ultimate dream? To be a professional bracelet maker — yes, full-time, full-delusion, thriving on beads and vibes. But since I also enjoy eating and living indoors, I’m going back to school. After twenty years away, I decided to earn my degree in Social Work so I can help people like me — the recovering, the rebuilding, the ones who keep getting back up even when it’s not graceful.

This brand is my reminder that healing doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. Every bracelet I make carries a piece of my journey — hope, humor, and a little “hold on, we’re trying.” They’re wearable proof that progress matters, perfection is overrated, and second chances are absolutely a thing.

Handcrafted with hope, heart, and hustle — because healing looks good on us, and life is too short for boring bracelets.
