Equal parts doubter and believer, Lauren Cibene explores the messy middle of faith, hope, and humanity through writing. Her work embraces life’s big questions with courage and candor, creating space for readers to find their own stories within hers. Her debut memoir, Tiger in a Lifeboat: Discovering India, Deconstruction Faith, and Deciding to Trust Again releases May 6th. By day, Lauren crafts copy that converts; by night, she pens essays on Substack (laurencibene.substack.com), where thoughtful conversations about faith, creativity, and resilience unfold. Lauren lives in north Georgia with her husband, Tim, and their very spoiled labradoodle, Linus.
