Ep. 175: The Plot Twist I Never Expected: Finding Out I’m Pregnant
In today’s episode of Life Talks with Lauren, I’m sharing something deeply personal and incredibly unexpected: a few months ago, I found out I was pregnant—after years of believing that having biological children just wasn’t in the cards for me.
This episode walks you through the moment everything changed, what it felt like to receive news I had quietly given up on, and how Z and I navigated sharing this surprise with our families. I open up about what it was like meeting each other’s loved ones, revealing our good news, and experiencing the warmth, support, and beautiful chaos that came with it.
I’m also getting real about the not-so-glamorous side of pregnancy:
• the fears and anxieties that hit me the second the reality sank in
• the doubts that come with stepping into a role I never thought I’d have
• the physical symptoms that have knocked me off my routine
• the mental and emotional roller coaster of accepting a brand-new version of my future
Most importantly, I’m talking about how I plan to move through this season with grace, honesty, vulnerability—and a whole lot of self-compassion. This isn’t just a story about pregnancy; it’s about surrendering, trusting yourself, and finding strength in the middle of uncertainty.
If you’ve ever faced a life change you didn’t see coming, or questioned whether you were ready for the next chapter life handed you, this episode is for you.
