We live in a world where we frequently take for granted conveniences of modern life. With the touch of a button, we can order goods and products and have them delivered to our door. Even during a pandemic lockdown, we could fire up our phones and computers and see the people we couldn't be near.

But what would happen if that all stopped instantly?

It did for Lauren Donahue, this week's guest on Chiseled. Growing up, Lauren always had an outlet. And I'm not talking about a pastime like co-ed softball, which she competitively played, but an actual outlet where she could plug in her phone, her smoothie maker, her curling iron, and all the other products that most of us take for granted everyday.

Lauren lost that outlet in 2014 after joining a reality TV show. Not knowing the game show's rules, she found herself living in a cave with a group of strangers with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Forced into survival mode, including flossing with a piece of hay and using a squirrel skin for a facial, Lauren found that "it's in the spaces that we're uncomfortable that we grow the most."

Lauren came out of the cave with huge new life lessons, which she has built into a brand centered around taking time to unplug. In this episode of Chiseled, Lauren describes how she ended up on the show, what she was expecting (or not) from her experience, and how she used it to create a legacy for her grandfather and to teach others how to "fill up your cup first so you can help others with the overflow."
