In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Lauren Sisler, an ESPN sports broadcaster, motivational speaker, and author of the memoir "Shatterproof." Lauren's work focuses on breaking the stigma around addiction and mental health, particularly within communities of athletes, the military, and faith groups.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The Power of Truth and Vulnerability – Lauren’s story reminds us that healing begins when we stop hiding our pain and start speaking honestly about it.
Grief and Shame Are Intertwined – Understanding how shame can deepen grief helps us approach both with compassion and self-awareness.
Addiction Has No Boundaries – From athletes to military members, Lauren sheds light on how addiction can affect anyone, regardless of background or success.
Healing Is a Continuous Journey – Recovery isn’t about hitting “rock bottom” but about reaching a point of “enough” and choosing hope and progress each day.
Turning Pain into Purpose – Through her memoir Shatterproof and motivational speaking, Lauren shows how embracing your story can transform deep wounds into a message of strength and freedom.
Lauren's story is a powerful reminder that healing begins the moment we choose to stop hiding and start sharing without shame. Her journey from grief and denial to acceptance and advocacy is an inspiration to anyone dealing with the impact of addiction and loss.
