The Lautners welcome back YouTube star Laura Lee for part two of her exclusive episode! If you missed part one, Laura opened up for the first time about growing up with an alcoholic father, navigating life in severe poverty, and how those early challenges fueled her drive to create a better life. In this week’s part two, Laura Lee reflects on her rise to YouTube fame and the challenges of navigating a public controversy that turned the internet against her. She opens up about the deeply personal journey of adopting her niece, Eryn, sharing the reasons behind her decision and the grueling court battle it entailed. Laura also bravely discusses how her sister’s time in prison became a turning point, the profound pain of losing her mother to Covid without the chance to say goodbye, and the ongoing process of grieving that loss. Wrapping up, she offers insights into where her career stands today, what she’s most proud of, and heartfelt advice for anyone growing up in households shaped by addiction.
