You have zero energy left, the babysitter has been arranged, and you are already negotiating with yourself about whether you actually have to go. Whether it's a professional conference, a work happy hour, or a retreat you signed up for with the best intentions, showing up to events when you're already running on empty is genuinely hard.

Lauren gets it, and she still goes anyway. In this episode, she's sharing the one simple shift that changed how she approaches every event she walks into, whether she wants to be there or not. It's not a strategy; it's an energy. And it takes about 30 seconds to set before you walk through the door.

Episode Highlights:

• Why moms are so quick to opt out of events, even ones they were excited about
• The post-COVID hangover affecting our social lives more than we realize
• Why networking feels so exhausting (and what's actually making it that way)
• The single intention Lauren sets before every event instead of a list of goals
• How dropping the "needy energy" changes the entire experience
• The retreat Lauren attended and what showing up with this mindset actually gave her
• What she does the morning after an event to lock in what she got from it
• Why in-person community matters more right now than ever
