Lauren Sánchez and Ashley Graham teamed up for a dynamic Amazon Live stream, engaging in an inspiring conversation about fulfilling dreams and the power of speaking goals into existence. During the segment, the two women opened up about their aspirations. When asked about fulfilling a lifelong dream, Lauren shared an exciting revelation: "I'm about to do mine. I'm going to go to space. That's always been something that I dreamed about since I was a little girl, but never thought I could ever," she said.
Ashley, on the other hand, expressed a more cautious approach to sharing dreams, admitting, "I don't want to share mine because I don't want to jinx it." Lauren responded with an optimistic perspective, encouraging her co-host to embrace the power of intention: "Oh, so you're the opposite. I'm like, I want to put it into the world."
Lauren's journey to space
The former FOX 11 anchor and author revealed she will take an all-women crew to space. Sánchez, also known as a helicopter pilot and an avid traveler and skydiver, shared details of her space travel. "Jeff actually went to space; he was the first person to go to space on his rocket, New Shepard," Sánchez mentioned, referring to her soon-to-be husband, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. "And I'm taking an incredible group of women up to space."
"Women are explorers, too," she asserted. "Jeff always tells me that he's like, you know, you're an explorer. So I'm excited to take all these women out."
Who will join Lauren in her trip to space?
According to People, Lauren will soon announce who's joining her all-female Blue Origin flight to space. The history-making move, which leads the Emmy-winning journalist, has been in the talks since 2022. "I'm extremely excited," she tells the publication. "We haven't announced the date yet, but it will be this year. And we'll start announcing my fellow astronauts in the coming months."
"I haven't really thought about it too much, but once we get closer to the actual date I might feel a little more nervous," she says. "But I know it's really safe and I think it's going to be an incredible adventure."
Despite many believing this is just another rich person's eccentricity, Sánchez wants to clarify that she's not just going to space for social media. "I think I'll come back from that mission seeing the world from a completely new perspective and be able to share that perspective," she says. "And hopefully that will translate into other people seeing it and wanting to help save the planet."
