What if self-worth isn’t actually something you earn?

In this expansive conversation, Lauren sits down with human design educator Eden Carpenter to explore human design as a system for self-trust, aligned decision making, communication, nervous system awareness, and identity.

Together, they unpack the emotional conditioning we inherit throughout life, how our nervous systems shape our realities, and the way human design can support healthier relationships, entrepreneurship, communication, and embodiment.

This episode moves far beyond surface-level human design conversations and dives into:

• emotional authority
• nervous system regulation
• relationship dynamics
• trauma conditioning
• entrepreneurship
• aligned decision making
• self-trust
• communication styles
• identity formation
• the myth of worthiness

Eden also shares insights from her advanced studies on human design across the lifespan and explains how different developmental stages influence our conditioning, emotional patterns, and sense of self.

In this episode, we explore:

• Human design as a decision-making system
• Communication styles of each design type
• Why reflectors mirror emotional conditioning
• Emotional authority vs sacral authority
• Human design and entrepreneurship
• Nervous system regulation and embodiment
• Childhood conditioning and money wounds
• Reparenting through awareness
• Why “worthiness” may not actually be real
• Building a business aligned with your design

Today I’m joined by Kris Yeo - a plus-size model, stepmom, business owner, and co-host of the “Blonde Highlights” podcast. She champions self-love, body acceptance, and helping women build the confidence to show up fully in their lives.

Kris and I dropped into a really grounded conversation about the invisible weight women carry, the pressure to over-function, and the moment when your body deeply asks you to finally slow down... We explored what it looks like to build a business without losing yourself, how to navigate partnership under stress, and the deep recalibration that happens when you stop saying yes to everything.

A big theme we kept circling back to was the turning point in a woman’s life - the moment she starts choosing herself again. The moment she realizes she can’t keep pushing past her limits, and she begins creating boundaries that actually support her well-being, her relationships, and her work.

The medicine of this episode will help you feel seen in your own season of soul shifting and slowing down, and encourage you to walk away with self-gifted permission to honor your energy in entirely new ways.

We also talk about:

• What it’s really like to build a business with your husband
• How to create boundaries with customers, clients, and expectations
• Why self-care doesn’t have to be complicated or performative
• The emotional weight women carry in entrepreneurship
• Returning to yourself after burnout or over-giving
• What confidence looks like when it’s built from the inside

So many of us are moving through a reclamation of this aspect of ourselves right now - finding our own connection to spirit outside of the structures we were raised in, and wondering how to hold that truth without hiding it or forcing it on others. If you've been tiptoeing between who you're becoming and who you used to be, this episode is for you.

Today I'm opening up about my own journey of coming into right relationship with my spirituality - from growing up in a strict Roman Catholic household where the body was shameful and God was someone to fear, to finding spirit on a mountaintop in Sedona, to walking the path of plant medicine and earth-based healing.

What I've learned is that coming out of the spiritual closet isn't a single moment of declaration... It's a layered process - one that asks us to reclaim our inner child's knowing, embrace the rebellious teenager within us, and slowly build the self-trust to stop seeking validation for experiences that are deeply, uniquely ours.

I also talk about:

• Why spiritual expression feels so vulnerable (and where that fear really comes from)
• The childhood memories that shaped my connection to something greater
• How religious conditioning disconnects us from the body and the heart
• The moment I found God on Cathedral Rock - and my dad's response
• What happens when you start waking up but you're still in the same environment
• The two paths people take when spiritually awakening (hiding vs. over-identifying)
• Why compassion is the most important thing to wake up to
• How plant medicine became part of my spiritual reclamation
• Releasing the codependent nature of our religious upbringing

Today I'm joined by Jennie Anderson - a registered nurse turned entrepreneur and coach who works with brilliant women with ADHD-style brains to stop treating themselves like the problem. She helps women rebuild self-trust beneath the layers of procrastination, masking, inconsistency, and shutdown - and create momentum that no longer requires self-abandonment.

Jennie and I dove in about what ADHD actually looks like in adult women, how it shows up in entrepreneurship, and why so many of us hit a wall in our 30s when hormones begin to shift. We explored hyper focus, the cycle of creative brilliance followed by burnout, and the deep shame so many women carry around rest and productivity.

One of the biggest themes we kept coming back to was self-trust - listening to your body, giving yourself permission to play, and learning to honor your unique energy. 

We also talk about:

• The connection between estrogen, dopamine, and why ADHD symptoms intensify in your 30s
• How rejection sensitivity dysphoria affects visibility and entrepreneurship
• The grief cycle that comes with a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis
• Why the "squirrel list" might be the best tool for your creative brain
• Jennie's green, yellow, red energy system for honoring your daily capacity

Today I'm joined by Tiffany Hurd - Microdosing Advisor and Head of Partnerships at Golden Rule.

We also talk about:

• The difference between a westernized approach and a spiritual relationship with medicine
• Tiffany's journey from corporate pharmaceuticals to plant medicine advocacy
• How to pair practices like breathwork, journaling, and meditation with microdosing
• Why these medicines serve something much bigger than personal healing - generational trauma, consciousness, and humanity

This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt the gap between what they know they're capable of and what they're presently doing. It's for those who have questioned whether they're allowed to build their business at their own pace, without burning everything down to prove they want it.

Today I'm joined by Kelly Chase - an entrepreneur, social influencer, podcast host, speaker, and reality TV star best known for her role as a cast mate on the breakaway hit Netflix show, Love Is Blind Season 1. With over 350,000 followers on social media, Kelly uses her platform and voice to inspire others to "chase life" and make the most of where they are in their journey.

Kelly is a voice for women navigating identity shifts, emotional growth, and elevated self-trust. After years of personal transformation - healing attachment patterns, rewiring subconscious beliefs, and learning to live from a more regulated nervous system - she now shares insights on feminine embodiment, love, wealth, and lifestyle from a place of lived experience. Her work invites women to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and become the version of them who feels safe, grounded, and deeply aligned. She ultimately teaches women how to say "No" to the wrong things and "Yes" to the right things so they too can live a more purpose-led, happy, healthy, and wealthy life.

Together, we explore the messy middle of entrepreneurship - the shame of inconsistent income, the exhaustion of performing success, and the quiet courage it takes to set boundaries around your own growth. Kelly shares openly about her panic attacks, the moment she finally chose herself, and why she refuses to leave her nine-to-five until she feels truly grounded.

What emerges is a rich conversation about self-abandonment - how easy it is to lose yourself chasing trends, algorithms, and other people's definitions of success. And how the real work is staying true to who you are, even when it feels like everyone else has it figured out.

If you've ever felt frustrated with yourself for not being further along, this episode will remind you that clarity is layered, healing takes time, and your pace is not a reflection of your potential.

We also talk about:

• The "knowing-doing gap" and why information alone doesn't create change
• How Kelly's nervous system crashed after Love Is Blind aired
• The difference between creative influence and creative control on social media
• Why Kelly stopped doing health coaching and pivoted her entire business
• Setting boundaries as an act of empowerment, not limitation
• Kelly's new program "Becoming Her" launching in 2026

Today I'm joined by Eboni Banks - mystic, survivor, writer, and embodied teacher. As an intuition coach and intuitive healing mentor, Eboni helps people deepen their intuitive abilities by reconnecting with their five primary senses and transforming everyday experiences into powerful inner guidance. She's pioneering a new understanding of intuition and psychic awareness - not as rare gifts, but as natural aspects of our human design that are available to everyone.

Eboni and I dropped in deeply right off the bat; talking about trauma, repression, the subconscious healing path, and what it looks like when your body starts moving toward wholeness before your mind has caught up. She shared her own story of repressing sexual trauma for 18 years, and how yoga, prayer, and spiritual practice quietly created enough safety for the truth to finally find its way out.

We also talk about:

• The difference between repression and suppression
• How intuition lives in the lineage and why your ancestors may have more to do with your gifts than you realize
• Why intentional solitude is the number one practice for coming back to yourself
• How self-love and intuition grow together, and what gets in the way

I take you through the full timeline; from my very first $8,000 month and the panic that followed, to mentor relationships that left me questioning everything, to the season I burned down my entire business and moved to Sedona to heal. I share what happened when I hit $100k in a month and had a nervous breakdown at a Tony Robbins training. I get honest about difficult client dynamics, boundaries I let get crossed, and the deep work required to keep showing up after experiences that made me want to close my doors forever.

One truth kept revealing itself through every single one of these initiations: our business will mirror back every unhealed part of us. They will bring up every unintegrated wound, every old pattern, every place we still don't feel safe - to refine us into who we're becoming.

My hope is that this episode helps you feel less alone in the hard seasons, more resourced to move through challenges without pulling away, and deeply reminded that your humanity is not a liability in your leadership - it's the whole point.

I also talk about:

• How past trauma patterns replay in business through the "law of rewrites"

• What I learned from mentors who projected onto me instead of holding space

• The real story behind my first $100k month and the breakdown that followed

• Why I burned down Badass Business Babe and what emerged from the ashes

• Navigating difficult client dynamics without losing yourself

• Why boundaries must deepen as your spiritual power grows

• How to discern which clients are safe to work with

We were taught to save, to spend on staying beautiful, to hand the finances to someone else and hope for the best. Somewhere along the way, the disconnect between women and money became so normalized that most of us don't even realize we've been living inside it.

Today I'm joined by Erin West - a Princeton graduate, former intellectual property lawyer, single mom, and public intellectual working at the confluence of women, money, soul, and sovereignty. After her 20-year marriage began to dissolve, Erin walked away from a high-achieving path that left her numb and redesigned her life from the ground up. She began slow traveling the world with her two kids, world-schooling them while learning to trade stocks for income - and discovered that the markets were not just a financial tool, but a gateway to deep inner work. In early 2022, she started teaching other women what she'd found, and that became Humans Who Trade - an eight-week course and global community where she guides women toward financial sovereignty through the body, the nervous system, and the subconscious. She now trades just a few hours per week and spends the rest of her time living what she teaches.

We explored the conditioning that keeps women financially disempowered - from how girls are socialized differently around money starting in childhood, to why the patriarchy is structurally invested in women not building wealth. We talked about what happens in the body when we try to receive without effort first, why self-sabotage often shows up right at the edge of expansion, and the spiritual dimensions of money.

One of the biggest themes we kept circling back to was enough-ness - and how deeply most of us have been wired for scarcity. Erin shared her own story of being on track for a $13 million year and then watching herself unconsciously dismantle it overnight because her nervous system couldn't hold that identity. This talk was one of the most honest reflections on wealth, worth, and the body I've yet to have - and I know it's going to land for so many women who are navigating their own edges around money and receiving

By the end of this episode, my hope is that you feel something shift in how you relate to money - from a place of remembering that your body already knows more than you've been taught to trust.

We also talk about:

• Why women are socialized to save while men are taught to expand - and how that starts in childhood

• The market as a field of collective nervous systems and what happens when women learn to feel it

• How your relationship to loss, receiving, and worth shows up in every financial decision

• The $54 trillion wealth transfer coming to women and what it means for our collective future

• How to begin healing money trauma through the body and the subconscious

• Lauren's personal story of watching her father lose everything in the market - and how that shaped her relationship with money

This week's episode is a deep, trauma-informed solo talk about what's actually happening underneath the patterns we keep repeating in our wealth creation, and why no amount of empowerment work seems to create lasting change.

I'm walking you through the framework I teach inside Body of Wealth, my self-paced study rooted in polyvagal theory, somatic experiencing, nonviolent communication, and complex PTSD education. We explore how attachment injuries from childhood replay in our relationship to money, how emotional flashbacks show up at the register or in our bank account, and why so many of us are stuck in repetition compulsions we never realized we were in.

A big theme of this episode is that healing our relationship to money is really about building a healthy relationship to our parts. The wounded, rejected, ignored, and criticized parts of us are also the most creative and abundant when we finally learn to work with them instead of against them.

I also talk about:

• How attachment injuries from childhood replay in our relationship to money
• The seven sources of wounded wealth and how they leak into our finances
• What an emotional flashback looks like in your money story
• Why safety is the foundation of sustainable wealth
• The difference between integrated and unintegrated trauma responses
• How to start working with your parts instead of overriding them

Today I'm joined by Dominique Zuniga - a world-renowned vocal artist and multi-instrumentalist. Born in the USA of Saudi Arabian and Mexican descent, she's known for her ethereal world music style and ethnic vocals. Officially signed with record label Cafe de Anatolia, her signature work is best presented in her cinematic world music album, IKALGI. She's traveled the world studying cultured music with African, Middle Eastern Sufi, and Classical Indian influences, and she combines these elements to create her own unique sound. Having received opera training at the age of 19 as a Mezzo Soprano, hitting soaring high notes is her pleasure. Dominique encourages people to connect with their voice through online seminars, ceremonies, and retreats throughout the world.

Dominique and I dropped into a deeply honest conversation about her journey - from a childhood marked by abuse and foster homes, to the moment music became her lifeline, to the spiritual awakening that shifted everything about how she relates to her voice. We explored what it really means to sing from your authentic channel, the difference between performing and transmitting, and why so many of us are afraid to let ourselves be heard.

One of the themes that kept circling back was this: our pure nature is as wild as birds and as unapologetic as the sea - but we've been so conditioned to believe otherwise. The journey of reclaiming your voice isn't about getting it right... It's about exploring every sound you can make; the ugly, the beautiful, the raw - and loving yourself there.

Let this be your permission slip to stop performing and start expressing. To honor your full yes and your full no. And to remember that the world doesn't need the polished version of you - it needs your humanity... your medicine.

We also talk about:

• How music became Dominique's anchor through childhood trauma and foster care

• Why trying to sound like others keeps you disconnected from your authentic channel
• The balance between technique and surrender in vocal expression
• Energetic hygiene and boundaries for facilitators and leaders
• Holding space with fierceness rather than just softness
• Fear disguised as questions - and how to recognize it in your containers
• Dropping the performative mask in leadership and the online space

For years, I avoided long stretches of time with my family. I'd see my mom a few times a year, my sisters once a year, and my dad sometimes not at all. That distance was about needing space to heal from the environment I grew up in without constantly being pulled back into it.

So when my dad suggested a week-long family vacation, I had a full year to think about whether I was actually ready. I set my boundaries right away, and I walked in with more preparation than I've ever had for something like this.

This episode is my honest debrief of that week. I share the moment on day one when everything old came to the surface, the breakdown I had in the car with Matt, and the inner child work that happened in real time as I let my body move what I'd suppressed for twenty + years.

We also talk about:

• The physical toll family environments can take on a healed nervous system
• Preparing yourself and your partner before a big family immersion
• Letting your inner child finally be witnessed in real time
• Accepting that your parents may never do this work
• Why every season of healing brings a different answer to the same question

This conversation is about what happens when we finally come home to the body.

Today I'm joined by Amanda Biccum - an embodiment mentor and Tantra facilitator who helps women reconnect with their bodies, sensuality, and sexuality. As co-founder of the Temple of Radiance, she's guided hundreds of women worldwide through transformative retreats, trainings, and online programs. Amanda's work focuses on integrating embodiment and Tantra into daily life - bringing more love, intimacy, and sacred connection into every part of the way we live.

Amanda and I dive into a deeply vulnerable conversation about what Tantra actually is (and isn’t), how life force energy moves through the body, and why so many of us feel disconnected from our own desire, intuition, and capacity. We explored how sexual patterns mirror life patterns, what it means to live a body-led life, and how to navigate growth with a partner who may be on a different path.

One of the big themes we circled back to again and again was this: the body is not an obstacle to spiritual evolution, it is the doorway. Healing, intimacy, and creativity all begin with our willingness to feel, to inhabit ourselves fully, and to trust the wisdom that rises from within.

The medicine of this episode will help you feel more expanded and grounded - and ready to explore your own life force with more curiosity, compassion, and reverence.

We also talk about:

• What Tantra really is beyond the mainstream misconceptions
• How life force energy awakens clarity, confidence, and purpose
• The difference between clinical nervous system work and spiritual ritual
• Sexual dynamics as mirrors for work, relationships, and personal patternsEmbodiment and the “five bodies” framework
• How to invite your partner into deeper practices without pressure
• Creating sacred intimacy and non-sexual touch in relationships

Today I'm joined by Brianne Roberge - a writer, podcast host, and speaker whose work began with a simple question: "What if I could be the voice that I was searching for, for all these years?" Brianne spent most of her life chasing perfection in identity, career, and doing life "the right way" - until she hit her 30s and a quiet realization set in... this isn't the life I'm meant to live. What looked good on the outside was built on a need for validation, fear of judgment, people-pleasing, and deep internal fragmentation. Now a minimalist and world traveler, Brianne is a self-proclaimed de-influencer who speaks with raw honesty about healing trauma, shedding the masks we've carried for decades, and making bold, uncomfortable moves to create a life that's actually worth living.

Brianne and I dropped into a deep conversation about how childhood trauma can silently drive our adult choices, the moment she realized her implants were never about self-love, and the years she spent being dismissed by doctors while her body was screaming for her attention. We explored what it looks like to love your body even while knowing you want to change it.

Brianne's story is living proof that when we trace our choices back to intention, everything shifts.

We also talk about:

• How childhood wounds of unworthiness can dictate decisions about our bodies well into adulthood
• The difference between altering your body from self-love versus self-rejection
• What breast implant illness actually is and why so many women are dismissed by doctors
• The power of inner child healing in transforming your relationship with your body

Today I'm joined by Rachel Lawrence - founder of Radical Rebounding and Sedona-based studio owner. At her core, everything Rachel shares comes from lived experience - not just movement, but healing, resilience, and learning how to come home to herself after seasons of burnout, disconnection, and doing all the things without feeling truly alive. Radical Rebounding was born from that frequency. The trampoline became a tool, but the real work has always been about nervous system regulation, self-trust, joy, and remembering our bodies as safe, wise, and powerful.

Rachel and I dropped in about what it really looks like to build something from nothing - the borrowed money, the broken trampolines, the therapist visits before hitting record for the first time. We talked about what movement can unlock emotionally, why women need spaces where they feel safe enough to be a little feral, and how the shift from "I have to" to "I get to" rippled into every corner of her life.

One of the threads that kept weaving through our conversation was this idea that courage and confidence are not the same thing. Rachel didn't wait until she felt confident to start - she moved forward scared and unsure, and let the courage carry her. That truth hit me deeply, and I think it will hit you too.

This episode will help give you permission to move your body differently, to let play be part of your healing, and to take the next step before your brain has a chance to talk you out of it.

We also talk about:

• The science behind rebounding and why it's so effective for the lymphatic system
• How Rachel started her business during a divorce with almost no money - and then covid hit
• Emotional release through movement and what it looks like in her classes
• The entrepreneurial journey from leading classes in the mirror to training studios worldwide

Today I'm joined by Erin Gallagher - author, CEO and Founder of HYPE WOMEN: a system-challenging sisterhood of women building collective wealth. Erin's inclusive ecosystem unlocks women's access to human, social, financial, political and spiritual capital. Karma is their currency. Hype is their constancy. Creator of the global Hype Women Movement, Erin is a speaker, mother, intersectional feminist, abortion beneficiary, yogi and witch. Before building this movement, she spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder in marketing and PR - until she walked away from everything she thought she wanted and began the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding her life on her own terms.

Erin and I dropped into a deep honest conversation about what it really costs to outgrow your old life - the relationships that fall away, the identity that has to die, and the grief that nobody talks about when they sell you on "growth." We explored what it looks like to stop performing, stop controlling, and finally let yourself be seen in the middle of the mess.

One of the things that struck me most was this: so many of us are afraid to receive the very love and celebration we're starving for. We've been told lies about ourselves for so long that when someone finally sees us, we think they must be wrong.

By the end of this episode, my hope is that you feel permission to stumble as you grow, and navigate your own transformation - publicly, imperfectly, and without apology.

We also talk about:

• The moment Erin told her husband "I am not the woman you married - and I never will be again"

• How control disguised as protection actually blocks joy and connection

• Renegotiating relationships as you evolve

• Why some people prefer you struggling - and what to do about it

• The lie women are told about martyrdom and doing it all alone

Erin's Book: Hype Women: Breaking Free From Mean Girls, Patriarchy, and Systems Silencing You

Erin's Website: hypewomen.com

Today I'm joined by Dr. Stephanie Burgos - Emergency Medicine physician, Medicine Woman, Breathwork Facilitator, multidimensional quantum healer, and somatic practitioner devoted to restoring harmony and safety within the body. Her training in the ER shaped a nervous system built for holding intensity with steadiness and discernment. Her initiations as a medicine woman and study of the shamanic arts refined her ability to listen deeply - not just to symptoms or stories, but to sensation, energy, and the intelligence moving beneath them. Her work lives at the intersection of science and spirit, bridging the seen and unseen so people can return to their bodies as sites of truth, intelligence, and self-trust.

Stephanie and I met seven years ago at a Tony Robbins seminar, both chasing something outside ourselves and not yet knowing who we really were. Since then, we've walked parallel healing journeys - through plant medicine, through dark nights of the soul, through business partnership, spiritual facilitation, and the kind of triggers that only someone truly close to you can bring up.

We also talk about:

• How we built trust through seven years of parallel healing
• The sisterhood wound and what it takes to rewrite those patterns as adults
• How plant medicine opened our paths and what we've learned as facilitators
• Navigating conflict, triggers, and competition within deep friendship
• The codependent and control dynamics that show up in wounded feminine sisterhood
• How to attract the kind of friendship you're craving without grasping for it

I share the full timeline - my first mushroom ceremony with my husband, the grief and the bliss that cracked me open, the death and rebirth cycles that taught me how to surrender, moving to Sedona for nine months to study and heal, and the moment facilitation found me without me ever looking for it. I also get honest about safety in ceremony spaces, the importance of working with experienced and tradition-rooted facilitators, and why integration is the piece most people skip that matters the most.

My hope is that this episode meets you where you are on your path - whether you're curious, called, or already deep in the work, and reminds you to trust the timeline of your own healing.

I also talk about:

• Why I took a seven month pause from all ceremony and medicine work

• The difference between safe and unsafe facilitation and what to look for

• How neo-shamanism and lack of tradition can create harm in psychedelic spaces

• The role of shamanic music and set and setting in ceremony

• How every program I've created was channeled through Ayahuasca

This is where we begin.

In this first episode of The World Needs Your Medicine, we’re grounding into the heart and intention of this show. At its core, this podcast is about remembering the gifts we carry, being honest about the challenges that shape us, and creating a space where real stories and lived experiences become medicine for all of us.

Today I take you through the key moments that shaped my own path: leaving my job in television news, navigating the unraveling of an abusive marriage, moving through chronic illness, and stepping into spiritual healing. These were the seasons that forced me to peel back the layers, look at my own resistance, and understand why so many of us doubt our power just as we’re being called to use it.

I also talk about:

• What you can expect from future episodes
• The internal challenges that show up when you step toward your purpose
• The process of healing through shared stories and honest conversations
• How other people’s experiences can activate your own growth

This episode is about that bridge. 

Today I'm joined by Sarah Evangeline - author, life coach, spiritual guide, and founder of The Soul-Talk Method. With a Master's in Counseling and Life Coaching, Sarah has guided over 200 people through inner child healing, embodiment practices, and releasing the emotional pain that keeps us stuck. Her work is rooted in one mission: helping people feel safe within themselves again so they can experience true joy and peace.

Sarah and I dropped into a tender and honest conversation about what it really takes to rebuild your life from the inside out. She shared her journey through religious trauma, abusive family dynamics, relationships that kept her small, and the moment she finally heard the words: "You're allowed to ask yourself what you want." We talked about what it means to grieve the life you thought was good enough, to make decisions before you feel ready, and to stop waiting for your flaws to disappear before you let yourself be loved.

One theme that kept surfacing was this: permission is the doorway. Not perfection or having everything all figured out. Just the simple, radical act of allowing yourself to feel good - and trusting that you're already closer to yourself than you were before you gave yourself that gift.

We also talk about:

• How childhood patterns create distorted blueprints for love and worthiness

• The moment Sarah realized "this can't be my life" and started making decisions anyway

• Leaving religion and reclaiming your relationship with God on your own terms

• Why trauma doesn't have to dictate the rest of your life

• The power of grieving the old version of you while stepping into the new

• Inner child work, breath work, and connecting to your higher self

• How to cultivate peace as a frequency in your daily life

That's where I've been lately. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's really happening behind the scenes of my entrepreneurial journey - the pivot energy, the questioning, the seasons of confidence and doubt, and the deep recalibration that's been asking for my attention.

After a decade of building, launching, and scaling, I've entered a season that looks very different from the one before it. I'm sharing honestly about what it's like to burn down infrastructure that's already working, in order to build something that actually feels good - and how I'm learning to trust the process even when I can't see the whole picture.

We explore the tension between cocooning and creating, the pressure to perform on social media, and why your challenges as an entrepreneur are actually a privilege when you hold them inside the bigger picture. I also get into how I've started designing my business around my 25-day hormone cycle instead of forcing myself into a rhythm that was never built for women.

If you've been questioning your path, feeling the pull to slow down, or wondering if it's okay to redefine what success looks like for you right now - this episode is your permission slip.

I also talk about:

• Redefining growth as rest, creativity, and nourishment instead of revenue
• The real fear of pivoting when you already have something that works
• Trusting your spiritual channel when you don't have all the answers
• Why social media confusion is often a sign you're ready for deeper clarity
• Designing your schedule around your hormone cycle as an entrepreneur

Today I'm joined by Victoria Pippo - an interference healer for global visionaries and high-performing lightworkers. She works with leaders navigating influence and impact, helping them clear the subtle distortions that disrupt discernment, sovereignty, and natural order. Victoria is the founder of The Sovereign Healer™, The Spiritual Debate podcast, Light Types, and The Great Merge™ - initiatives devoted to advancing energetic integrity, healing, and leadership clarity for starseeds worldwide. Her work bridges spiritual resolution, psychic hygiene, and the unseen influences shaping modern leadership, equipping high-level change-makers to operate from God's power rather than false light fragmentation.

We talked about the pendulum swing from New Age to Christianity that's happening collectively right now, the dangers of un-consented channeling in spiritual spaces, and what it really looks like to be a hollow-bodied conduit without slipping into spiritual arrogance.

We also talk about:

• Navigating dark energies, and the lack of resources for them in spiritual spaces
• Spiritual arrogance, false light, and energetic protection
• Why gathering more information isn't the same as growing
• What it takes to be a clear channel without losing yourself
• The cost of devotion and why sacrifice is part of the path

That's the territory we explore in today's conversation...

I'm joined by Krista Williams - co-founder of Almost 30, a global community and brand dedicated to empowering people through life's transitions. As co-host of the critically acclaimed Almost 30 podcast, she's become a leading voice in spirituality and wellness. She also co-created Morning Microdose, a top-rated daily inspiration podcast. Krista leads luxury wellness retreats and has helped thousands through her transformational courses, The Life Edit and Metamorphosis. Her first book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love for the Next Decade and Beyond, co-written with Lindsey Simcik, is out now.

Krista and I dropped into a raw, honest conversation about what it actually takes to heal your relationship with your body - not through another diet or biohack, but through feeling your feelings, releasing codependent patterns, and creating a relationship with yourself that isn't filtered through anyone else's beliefs or expectations.

So many women are carrying grief, sadness, and disappointment they've had to hide because they feel like no one can hold them. The path back to liberation is about finally letting yourself feel what you've been suppressing.

We also talk about:

• How childhood programming around weight and food shapes our relationship with our bodies

• The connection between codependency and emotional eating

• Why feeling your feelings is the first level of shedding energetic weight

• Internal Family Systems and parts work as a healing tool

• The mother wound and its impact on how we nourish ourselves

• What true body liberation actually looks and feels like

That's the territory we explored in today's conversation.

I'm joined by Andrea Crowder - a nervous system expert, embodiment coach, and guide for high-achieving women who are ready to stop over-functioning their way through life and relationships. Andrea accidentally became a professional Pressure Diffuser for 7 and 8 figure founders, reality TV stars, and industry power players after casually posting one sentence that cracked the internet open and even made the bros pause: "I've made 7 figures - not a penny from pressure. Only pleasure."

That one post earned her interviews on top podcasts like Mindvalley Coaches, and sparked a movement impacting thousands. In that moment, Andrea realized something profound: women weren't starving for another strategy - they were starving for a softer way to win.

Andrea and I dropped in about what's really happening when we can't stop pushing forward, even when we're exhausted. We explored the difference between truth and trauma, why our bodies brace even in safe moments, and how the "good girl" conditioning keeps so many women trapped in cycles of over-functioning and resentment. Andrea shared vulnerable stories from her own relationship and the moment she discovered what she calls "the spine of the queen."

One of the most powerful themes we kept returning to was this: the most powerful woman on the planet isn't the one who loves herself the most or has the most resources - it's the woman who understands herself the most. When you understand your biology as a tool, you can return to your heart in minutes and lead from there.

The medicine of this episode will give you language for patterns you've been living but couldn't name - and permission to finally stop gripping so tightly.

We also talk about:

• The difference between micro triggers and macro triggers - and why most emotional suffering is one or the other
• How over-functioning sends biological signals that push support away
• The "paper cuts to burning bush" pattern and how to catch it earlier
• What it means to lead from truth versus lead from trauma
• The childhood roots of people-pleasing and the "good girl" leash
• How Andrea's relationship became her greatest teacher this year
• A simple question to ask before any decision: is my body relaxed or flinched?

Today I'm joined by Patricia Ode - an Alternative and Ancient Medicine Practitioner. Her work weaves ancient wisdom with deep body-based healing to help women come home to themselves, their wombs, and the truth their bodies have to say.

Patricia and I dropped into an illuminating conversation about what womb work actually is (and why it applies to every woman), how chronic illness and autoimmune conditions are often the body's way of asking us to finally listen, and what it means to build safety inside your own body as the foundation for everything else.

The medicine of this episode will help give you permission to slow down, listen to your body, and consider that womb-work might be a missing link in your healing journey. 

We also talk about:

• The connection between womb trauma, chronic illness, and ancestral lineage

• How Patricia went from raw vegan cheesecakes to shamanic facilitation

• What it means to build a life and business from safety instead of hustle

• Sexual trauma and how it lives in the body - even when we don't remember it

• The moment Patricia stopped running and grounded into Sedona

• How to know if womb work is calling you

This episode is not about pushing harder, fixing yourself, or forcing clarity.

It’s about remembering that your expansion is cyclical — not linear — and that returning to fear, doubt, or uncertainty doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re deepening.

Inside this experience, Lauren explores the difference between being stuck in fear versus being in a true “winter” season, why your body holds the codes for wealth and creativity, and how disconnection from the body can quietly sabotage your business, voice, and sense of self-trust.

You’ll hear reflections on embodied leadership, nervous system safety, feminine wisdom, boundaries, money, social media, creativity, and the myth that success must come at the expense of your wellbeing.

This episode is especially for you if you:

• feel called to lead, teach, or create, but crave a more grounded way

• feel disconnected from your body, voice, or intuition

• are tired of urgency, pressure, and performative spirituality

• want to build a business or life that honors your natural rhythms

• know you’re on the edge of something new, but don’t want to force it

This is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the version of you that already knows what to do — when she feels safe enough to hear herself.

At the end of the episode, Lauren shares more about Mirror Mentorship, a six-month immersive container designed to support embodied spiritual leaders in cultivating self-trust, sovereignty, and sustainable success.

Take what resonates. Leave the rest.
And remember: one insight is enough to change everything.

We’re going on a journey today… I'm taking you all the way back. Back to the abusive marriage, the corporate job that was slowly suffocating me, the chronic illness that I thought I would never heal from - I'm sharing the unfiltered timeline of how I went from completely disconnected from myself to building a life and a healing method rooted in my lived transformation.

We go deep into what healing actually is beneath all the self-help noise - why it's a spiritual initiation and not a to-do list, why every version of you that's ever been hurt still lives inside you, and what happened when I stopped trying to fix myself with action steps and started surrendering to something bigger. I also open up about my nine month healing sabbatical, sitting with Ayahuasca, letting my business crash, and how that season became the foundation for everything I teach now.

My hope is that this episode meets you exactly where you are - whether you're in the thick of your healing, just beginning to ask the deeper questions, or somewhere in between feeling like nothing is working. Grab some tea and let’s have a chat, we're going deep today.

I also talk about:

• The difference between lifestyle self-help and true soul healing
• Why healing requires both immersion and integration
• How unprocessed trauma shows up sideways in money, relationships, and your body
• Inner child work, inner teenager work, and reconnecting with separated parts of yourself
• How the Heal program was born from my own nine-month shamanic initiation

For so many women, the sensual, expressive, and untamed parts of who we are get pushed down early - through comments about our bodies, messages about how to be "good," and the process of learning that certain parts of us made other people uncomfortable. And so we adapted. We dimmed. We performed.

Now… we rewrite it all.

Today I'm joined by Emily Michele - a certified Somatic Practitioner and neuroscience-informed life and success coach who guides high-performing women back into their bodies, their power, and their truth. Her work blends female nervous system regulation, shadow integration, and embodied leadership to help women upgrade their standards and self-concept, awaken their potential, and take aligned action.

A former corporate finance executive turned multi-six-figure entrepreneur and soon-to-be mother of four, Emily has lived through perfectionism, over-functioning, and self-silencing - teaching from embodiment, not just theory. Her work is a beautiful rebellion back to your dark side, the side you've been taught by society to shame, suppress, and dissociate from - but it's the power that unlocks the next level of expansion.

Emily and I got into deep waters in this one - what the dark feminine actually is beyond the Instagram aesthetic, how shame gets stored and passed down through lineages, and what it really takes to soften when your whole life has been built on control and independence. We also talked about what shifts in your relationships and intimacy when you finally feel safe in your own body.

One thread that kept weaving through our conversation: the healing we're here to offer others is usually the healing we've had to walk through ourselves. And the parts we rejected the longest often hold the most power.

The medicine of this episode will inspire you to welcome all of yourself back home - the messy, the wild, and the parts still waiting to be seen.

We also talk about:

• Why so many women carry shame in their hips and womb space

• The difference between performing the dark feminine and actually living from her

• How to regulate your nervous system when your body has been stuck in fight or flight for years

• What changes in your intimacy when you feel safe to be expressed

• Softening out of the "I don't need anyone" identity

Somewhere beneath the surface, a quiet voice starts asking if there's another way...

Today I'm joined by Amanda Bucci - a business coach, author, and identity advisor passionate about helping people codify their genius into scalable programs while guiding them through life-altering identity-level transformation. A trailblazer in the digital space, Amanda first gained recognition as one of the original influencers in 2014, quickly rising to internet fame and 7-figure success. After experiencing burnout, debt, and cancellation trauma, Amanda saw the dark side of business and online visibility. Her work now is centered around supporting people in fighting for their dreams by rewiring their subconscious beliefs and identity around success, money, and visibility - so they can blow up their brands without losing themselves in the process.

Amanda and I dropped into a powerful conversation about the shame that comes with financial crisis, the pressure to share everything online, and what it actually looks like to protect your sensitivity while still building something meaningful. We explored the beliefs that pair success with suffering, how to know if you're in flow or just in comfort, and the deep inner reconfiguration required to create a business that can hold your expansion.

One of the themes we kept circling back to was this: you don't have to give up your ambition to have your health, your aliveness, and your relationships. There is a way to build without burnout - but it requires a level of honesty with yourself that can feel difficult to face.

The medicine of this episode will give you permission to slow down, protect your energy, and to trust that the version of success meant for you doesn't require you to lose yourself in the process.

We also talk about:

• The shame spiral of teaching success while privately feeling like a failure
• Why it's not healthy to share publicly when you have an open wound
• How burnout creates subconscious beliefs that pair success with exhaustion
• Learning to reject energy that isn't yours instead of absorbing and alchemizing it
• Building a brand structure that can hold your expansion
• The difference between being in flow and being in comfort
