This week, Lauren heads a solo conversation to chat about everything that has recently changed in both her internal and external landscapes. She couldn't have known it, let alone predicted it, but death has become the ultimate pattern interrupt. Confronting mortality has forced her to take a step back and re-evaluate her thoughts, emotions, habits, behaviors, and relationships. She understands what is truly important in life, and as she puts it in this episode, what is utterly pointless. Now, she is designing her new reality accordingly.

 

We also talk about:

• Letting go of the drama and trauma
• Why prerequisites impede true presence
• What it really means to live a life free from regret
• Rapid-fire Q&A!
• How is breastfeeding going for Lauren?
• What does Lauren use CBD for?
• What steps is Lauren taking to find peace in "just being"?
• How does someone start the work when they don't know what to do and they feel afraid?
• How does someone ask for support along their growth journey?

This week on the podcast, Lauren sits down with her husband, Joseph Sheehey, to offer a perspective that rarely gets the recognition it deserves. We hear from experts and from those in process, but not often do we hear from the special individuals making up a safe, solid support system. 

We talk about:

• What it is like for a partner to witness the deep healing of uncovering layers and unboxing the past
• How to navigate offering support and presence, without fixing or problem-solving
• Learning how to acknowledge when you have no control
• How to hold onto hope and a vision of the future
• Leaning into spirituality when there are no clear answers
• Crucial advice for the support system
• Why the support system needs and deserves just as much support, and where to get it

In this episode, Lauren reflects on what it means to feel hungry for more. She learned from culture and society that asking for more simply wasn't an option, and instead worked to make her primal hunger pretty and digestible. This inevitably meant making herself small. 

For her, this smallness required restriction in every aspect of her life, from the physical to the emotional and spiritual. Lauren has recently experienced major changes in her relationships and her identity, especially after becoming a mother. She shares what it has been like to acknowledge these changes and her newfound, insatiable appetite for a bigger, fuller, truer life. 

She also talks about:

• The spiritual nature of restriction and binging
• The deep ache for an honest and purposeful existence
• Lessons she is learning from motherhood
• Why it is important to become a living, breathing example for her daughter
• Answering the call for greater freedom
• Learning how to align what is felt inside with what is shown outside
• Embracing the mess as a prerequisite for peace
• Honoring the phases of life that bring change and revision
• "Discharging the loyal soldier" with gratitude and compassion before moving into the next leg of the journey
