Today, with self-reflection, Lauren shares how she learned to break the unhealthy dating cycle she saw herself in. She turned these techniques into a book and app to help others. She also shares about her coming out story and the feeling of increased worthiness it brought her to do so.

(Any names used in this interview outside of the host and guest are aliases used to protect the identity of those involved in her dating journey.)
