Lauren McCabe Herpich

Lauren McCabe Herpich is the founder and Chief of Why Not Girl!, a website that offers adult women of all stages of life inspiration and valuable experiences that empower them to try something new, live life as an adventure, feel more accomplished and have more fun.

Lauren’s life has definitely consisted of a series of adventures, or as she would like to call them: Why Nots! Since this Jersey Girl moved to Tucson, Arizona for college, she has had invaluable life experiences over the past decade including five years in Washington, DC where she worked in television and where she was one of the only women to be selected as a Racing Presidents mascot for the Washington Nationals. Along the way, she has served as a food tour guide, taken a severance package to travel through Europe, has run two half-marathons and sang karaoke on her 29th birthday in Tokyo. She most recently left her digital marketing position at a Fortune 500 in Chicago to take the risk of entrepreneurship.

Lauren holds Bachelor’s degrees in Journalism and Media Arts from the University of Arizona and a Master’s degree in Integrated Marketing Communication from Northwestern University’s Medill School.

Lauren currently lives in Berkeley, California with her husband Chris and their cute beta fish Grappe.
