Hi there! I’m LauRen Merola Strager! Your little cup of Italian espresso to get you going in the morning via radio! When I am not hosting my morning radio show, I am a wife and a mother to two beautiful little boys, Cashton (5) and Jaxson (2). I am also the chief editor and founder of All Of The F-Words Blog. We cover all of the F-words a lady should know. Fashion, Family, Face, Food, Fun, and now Fiestas! Check out our NEW party planning and rentals tab!
In my spare time, I love reality TV, yoga, celebrity gossip, keeping up with the latest beauty/fashion trends, and of course, wine! Oh, did I mention I’m a city girl at heart? I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, where in 2008, someone got this crazy idea to send me to the nationally televised Miss USA Pageant as Miss Pennsylvania USA, and it was there my media career began!
After returning home from my Top 5 placement at the “Super Bowl of pageantry,” I started hosting in the Sports Entertainment space. My journey began working on a Pittsburgh Steelers-based sports TV show which parlayed into globe troating with the IPL Cricket league in Mumbai, India, and finally led me into radio in Miami with “The Finsiders,” a sports talk radio show on 940WINZ. In addition to our show, on game days, I also served as host of the Miami Dolphins “Orange Carpet,” where I interviewed stars like JLo, Gloria Estefan, and Kim Kardashian every Sunday!
Along the way, my gypsy soul has led me to jump out of airplanes with the US Army’s Golden Knights, travel overseas on four USO entertainment tours, and dance professionally for both the NBA and the NFL.
While I may not be southern born and bred, I have now adopted Charlotte, NC, as my new home.
