Episode Summary

In this inspiring episode of The Right Room, Hilary Phelps sits down with Lauren Picasso, CEO & Founder of CURE Hydration, Harvard MBA, and triathlete, to talk about her journey from burnout to breakthrough. While training for a triathlon, Lauren struggled with dizziness, nausea, and post-workout crashes—despite staying hydrated. Frustrated by the lack of clean, effective electrolyte options, she started mixing her own formulas at home. That DIY solution turned into Cure, launched in 2019—and today, the brand has grown 100x.

Lauren was recently named to Inc. 5000’s 2024 Female Founders 250 List, and Cure earned a coveted spot on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, ranking 568th overall and 23rd in Food & Beverage.

In this conversation, Lauren shares what it takes to build a mission-driven wellness brand, navigate early business hurdles, and stay grounded through it all. She also opens up about how mindfulness and patience have shaped her leadership—and why just doing it isn’t always enough without the mindset to sustain it.

Whether you’re a founder, wellness enthusiast, or woman navigating a big life transition, this episode is filled with wisdom, inspiration, and practical takeaways.

What You’ll Learn:

• The power of starting small and building consistently

• How a personal health challenge sparked a wellness movement

• Why mindfulness and patience are Lauren’s go-to mindset tools

• What goes into scaling a company 100x in five years
