Life With LW

After opening up about my battle with mental health, I also shared my road to recovery and soul searching journey that I am now calling my Secret Sabbatical. This was a very intentional time in my life where I slowed things down, got very specific on my priorities, zeroed in on my mission and values, and went all in on filling up my cup. I have now turned this exact experience into a 5 part process called the Secret Sabbatical Method.

This week I am revealing Step #1 of the SSM called "The Breaking and the Awakening". Tune in to learn more.

I am feeling more enlightened than ever as I come off of my six month secret sabbatical.

Yes, you read that right, I said secret sabbatical. It was a six month journey of healing, soul searching, tears, growth, and time - taking time to be fully present. It was one of the most influential experiences of my entire life. And for the first time ever, I am sharing what my secret sabbatical entailed, as well as my intense, heart-wrenching mental health journey that took me there.

Listen in as I bare my soul and share it all in an effort to use my experience to enlighten and empower anyone else who needs this.

What does success mean to you?

Despite the fact that society has tried to tell us that it's a job title, amount of money in our bank account, or status, the reality is that success is completely different for everyone. And it's extremely important for each of us to take a step back and be able to clearly define what it is for us.

Listen in this week as I share a recent revelation along with my answer to this question.

Hello, 2021! The podcast is officially back!

This year I decided to be extra intentional with how I rang in the new year. And no, I am not talking about what I did when the clock struck midnight, because in all honesty, I was passed out by 11pm. I am talking about the process that I went through to ensure that I adequately closed the door on 2020 and then intentionally walked forward into 2021.

The process started weeks ago with figurative and literal detox sessions ranging from green tea baths and ginger tea to burning letters in my backyard. I also took the time to plan ahead in every single area of my life. And this week on the podcast, I am taking you through the entire process while also sharing my NUMBER ONE thing that you need to work on in order to make your New Year's Resolutions stick. If you're looking to make real, lasting change this year, you're going to want to tune in.

It’s no question that it’s a tough time in our country. We all know it. We’ve all been affected by it in some way or another. And as hard as it is, as tired as some of us are, it’s a blessing. Because people are waking up. Not everyone. But some. For me, part of this awakening has been two fold: 1. The pandemic has forced me out of my comfort zone and into a place that required massive innovation. 2. It’s stretched me to want to be a part of the change that has been necessary for a long time.

You’re probably wondering where the title of this episode came in. And it was a question that was posed to me last week during a deep conversation about racial injustice. For those who don’t know. I launched an e-course right about the time that George Floyd was killed and as I watched people post their black squares, share their quotes, and seek out organizations to donate to, I felt called to be a part of the change. So as I went back and forth on whether to go forward with the start date, or to postpone it a week or two… I prayed long and hard. And committed to moving forward with what felt right. And as the last spot in the course was filled, without any additional posts on social, I decided to move forward, but with an added later. So we ordered the books White Fragility and Code of the Streets for every member of the course and implemented a weekly conversation, to be led by black women, on the basis of racial injustice. No question or topic was off the table. We encouraged the women to ask the hard questions. We encouraged our black leaders to call us out when our questions or comments could be viewed as racist. And we committed to taking what we learned from each conversation and sharing it with at least one person outside the group.

I just wrapped up my second course and that same discussion about race, systemic racism, and injustice happened every single week. And last week, while we shared opinions of what was happening in Wisconsin, across the country, and in the NBA, one of the women posed a question to me, and asked how I will feel about all of this if our son, who is just weeks away from being born, comes out with dark skin - and therefore could very much be any of these black men who in some way or another died for the color of their skin…

Tune in as I share my response, along with my thoughts on how I truly wish that we would all take responsibility to be the change that we wish, and need, to see in the world.

The life of an entrepreneur is anything but easy. However, for some reason, it seems like all that everyone wants to talk about is the success and final outcome, leaving most with a skewed idea of what this type of life is really like. It's also one of the reasons that most first time entrepreneurs have to figure things out the hard way.

In this episode, Lauren talks with Daniel Hennes, CEO of Engage to dig into all of the realities of life as an entrepreneur, including the struggles, the personal growth, and everything in between. Lauren and Daniel also discuss their own habits and perspectives that have aided in their success, along with their personal growth and development.

ABOUT ENGAGE: Engage is an online platform that digitizes the process of booking talent for anything they enjoy doing and helps talent create and execute unique pop up events and sweepstakes.

Do you have a big dream? Of course you do. We all do. But for most people at some point life gets in the way and that dream gets pushed to the side, eventually feeling so far away that there’s no way that it could ever become reality. For some it’s kids, bills, or a 9-5 and for others it’s a lack of resources, not enough hours in the day, and little to no motivation.

This week Lauren is sharing her philosophy on Big Dreams and the idea that we're all living on borrowed time - which makes it that much more important to overcome all of the obstacles standing in your way, and finally go for it. You'll also learn how Lauren has leveraged her Big Dream and ability to move outside of her comfort zone to maximize her effort during the pandemic, which has subsequently led to an increase in revenue and success in her business.

This week Lauren is joined by Jordan Howlett for a riveting conversation about defying the odds, racism, and the reality of what it's like to grow up as a black man in America. It was an email to one of Lauren's clients that first connected her to Jordan. He had just released his documentary about his personal journey through life and his baseball career, and was looking to get the word out there. In addition to sharing the video on social media, and offering up additional ways to market it, Lauren also wanted Jordan to share his story for her listeners. In light of our country's most recent events, Lauren and Jordan also dig into the issues of injustice and racism, while Jordan also shares some of his own personal experience of what life as a black man in America has been like.

To say that our lives have been turned upside down seems like an understatement. When all of this first started it seems insane at the thought that it would go on for more than 30 days, and yet here we are. Where I am, based in the Midwest, we are now heading into week 5 of our “new normal”. It took me a few weeks to find my bearings. Those first few weeks I just didn’t know what to think and had absolutely no idea what the nature of my business would look like since all of my clients at the time were professionals athletes. It was scary, and slowly but surely that fear turned into stress which turned into anxiety. I found myself having zero motivation to get out of bed in the morning, no idea where or how to begin my day, and often getting nothing done because it just felt like too much. Thankfully a little over two weeks in my self-awareness started to kick into gear and I knew that I needed to start to do something about it.

Listen along as I share how I slowly started to shift into my "new normal".
