Badass Woman of the Week: Meet TikTok Favorite Lauren Godden — Better Known as 'Big John’s Mom'

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok lately, you’ve probably met Lauren Godden, her husband, and their son, Big John.

With his unforgettable facial expressions, larger-than-life personality and heart-melting moments, John has become one of social media’s most beloved little stars—and his family has built one of the internet’s happiest corners.

Lauren is this week’s Badass Woman of the Week not just because of the millions of views, but because of the way she’s shared her family’s journey with honesty, humor and heart. John was born with a rare genetic condition, and instead of focusing on limitations, Lauren has created a space full of laughter, love and acceptance that has inspired families around the world.

Even the comments section has become famous for its kindness—and if you’ve seen the videos, you know Big John has an especially devoted fan base across the pond. Some fans have even jokingly declared him an honorary Brit! Lauren joined Christine & Salt to talk about motherhood, life with Big John, their unexpected rise to TikTok fame, and how their family became one of the internet’s favorite comfort follows.
