It’s probably important to let you know that Lauren prepares for this podcast by getting a packet of tissues out of her bag…

We are opening up a conversation about identity, creativity, and what happens when life slowly convinces you to shrink, which is something we have BOTH struggled with in the past. 

In this episode we talk about:

• What it feels like to rediscover your authentic self

• How self-doubt and external criticism slowly dim confidence

• Lauren’s experience studying physics at a Russell Group university while working 40 hours a week

• The moment her mum reminds her just how big that achievement really was

• A brilliant “synchronistic” story of how Lauren unknowingly met her husband Dave years before they started dating (via a mosh pit and a Chase & Status concert)

• Why art once saved Lauren’s life, and how she lost it again when she started creating what she thought people wanted

• The creative breakthroughs happening halfway through the Unlocking course

• Morning pages, emotional honesty, and the power of inner work • Learning to dress, create, and live for yourself rather than for imagined judgement

This episode is about coming back to yourself, slowly, imperfectly, and sometimes unexpectedly.

If you’ve ever wondered where your colourful, confident self went… this conversation might be a nice place to start.
