  • What I've STOPPED Doing to Feel More Alive

    There are seasons of life when growth doesn't come from adding more...it comes from finally letting go.

    In this week's episode, Lauryn reflects on celebrating her son Sammy's third birthday, the emotions that surfaced revisiting her pregnancy-after-loss journey, and the deeper work she's been doing to feel more grounded, present, and fully at home in herself. What started as people asking what she'd been doing differently after sharing photos from Vegas turned into a much bigger realization: her biggest transformation hasn't come from doing more. It has come from stopping the habits, patterns, and stories that no longer serve her.

  • Why I Stopped Believing in Work-Life Balance

    In this episode, Lauryn shares an honest reflection on the myth of work-life balance and what she's learning instead. As she approaches a new decade of life, Lauryn opens up about the tension of wanting to be fully present in motherhood while also feeling deeply called to create meaningful work. She shares the simple practices helping her move between the different roles she holds, why she's learning to let go of perfection, and how embracing life's natural imbalance has brought her more peace than chasing balance ever could.

  • July Reflections + Backstreet Boys!

    What if the most meaningful moments of your life are the ones you're most tempted to rush through? In this episode, Lauryn reflects on a month filled with family, travel, personal growth, and small everyday joys that reminded her what it means to truly be present.

  • When Working Harder No Longer Works

    In this episode, Lauryn invites you along on one of her favorite trail walks for a conversation about the belief so many of us carry: that we have to work harder to deserve the life we want. Drawing from personal stories, coaching conversations, and her own healing journey, Lauryn explores what it looks like to let go of hustle, trust yourself more deeply, and create a life rooted in ease instead of exhaustion. If you've ever felt caught between wanting to slow down and fearing you'll fall behind, this episode is a loving reminder that abundance doesn't have to come at the expense of your peace.

  • How Slowing Down is Changing My Relationship to Alcohol

    In this episode, Lauryn shares about becoming "sober curious" and how slowing down has completely changed her relationship with alcohol. Lauryn reflects on why this shift wasn't really about drinking—it was about becoming more intentional, more present, and more connected to herself. She explores the quiet nudges that led her here, the identity shifts that come with personal growth, and why learning to trust yourself is often the first step toward creating lasting change.

  • What Slow Living Is NOT

    In this episode, Lauryn reflects on a week that held both deep grief and beautiful joy, sharing how life's hardest moments often remind us what matters most. Inspired by the passing of a beloved family member, she opens up about legacy, presence, and why slowing down has become one of the greatest gifts she's given herself. She also explores the biggest misconceptions about slow living, explaining why it's not about doing less or escaping responsibility, but about becoming more intentional with your time, your energy, and your nervous system. If you've ever felt like life is moving too fast, this conversation is a gentle invitation to come back to the present moment.
