Tony Robbins Helps Her Use the Power of Her Own Mind to Manifest A Better Life
In a Nutshell
A woman who lost $300 million, faced late-stage breast cancer, and was laid off within 18 months publicly committed at a Tony Robbins event to invest $1 billion and generate $3 billion in returns over five years—then landed the role to run a $1.5 billion private equity fund. Robbins frames her experience as a classic hero’s journey, underscoring that crises either destroy you or force a breakthrough to a new level when you reframe them as opportunities. The key takeaway: surround yourself with the right mentors and community, stay prepared for economic “winters,” and use adversity as the catalyst to 10x your results rather than letting it define you.

Two years ago, a woman experienced the worst career failure in her 20-year history of investing in private equity, losing $300 million in six months. She had never lost money on any investment previously, and her identity was tied to being a good investor. She did everything possible to save the company but ultimately had to lay off 1,500 people, which she felt was her fault. At the end of that year, she was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer that had spread to eight lymph nodes and her chest.
During her cancer diagnosis, she rediscovered Tony Robbins, having previously listened to his tapes in high school. She attended Unleash the Power Within (UPW), which helped her during her cancer treatment. She also participated in a Life and Wealth event in Fiji where Lauren helped her through the firewalk experience, climbing a telephone pole, standing at the top, and jumping off.
During the Fiji event, she went on stage and made a public commitment that over the next five years, she would invest a billion dollars, make three billion in gains, and 10x what she had lost. She made this statement with confidence despite having no idea how she would achieve it. She subsequently beat cancer and returned to work.
After returning to work, she was laid off in October 2023 when the division she was working in was exited entirely. This occurred within an 18-month period that included losing $300 million, her cancer diagnosis, and now unemployment. She decided to join Platinum, purchasing a partnership that same week.
