Our Initiatives

At What’s Next LLC, we walk alongside educators, families, and communities to create spaces where children can thrive. Each of our key initiatives: Calm Within, Ready to Live, and Lauren’s Imagination Station, brings our mission to life through meaningful learning, enrichment, and mentoring experiences designed to nurture growth and connection for generations to come.

Calm Within

Calm Within is about creating space to breathe, reflect, and return to yourself. It offers tools, practices, and moments that support inner peace, emotional balance, and mindful living. The goal is to help people slow down, center themselves, and move through life with clarity and calm.

Ready To Live

Ready To Live is a growth and empowerment experience for boys and men. It builds character, confidence, brotherhood, and purpose through honest conversation, life skills, and community. The focus is on identity, responsibility, and learning how to show up for yourself and the people you care about.

Lauren's Imagination Station

Lauren’s Imagination Station is a creative world for kids to learn, dream, explore, and express themselves freely. It encourages confidence, curiosity, and big ideas through activities that spark the imagination. It’s about helping children believe in who they are and what they can create.
