Are we tired because we’re actually tired or because our brains are overloaded? Today, I’m diving into decision fatigue, what’s happening in our brain when we feel mentally drained, and why simplifying life might be exactly what we need. I share how growing up with fewer options (hello, TGIF lineup and Nintendo 64 GoldenEye nights) felt simpler, and how life today, despite its convenience, leaves us more isolated and exhausted.

We’ll talk about practical ways to reduce decision fatigue (including a call back to Ep. 289 with Ryan Mitchell on tiny living) and why simplifying your wardrobe, meals, or even streaming habits can free up your energy for what really matters.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

What decision fatigue actually is and how it affects your brain

How our increasingly isolated, choice heavy culture impacts mental energy

Practical tips to simplify life and reclaim mental clarity

Have you ever heard a song and felt it in your bones?

In this soul-stirring episode, we dive into the unseen power of music — how it moves through the body, awakens memory, and serves as a spiritual tool for healing and reclamation. From the science of frisson (those full-body chills) to the sacred energy of collective singing, this conversation explores why music isn’t just background noise — it’s a frequency we become.

Lauren shares a deeply personal story of waking up with Fleetwood Mac’s “Silver Springs” echoing in her mind, leading her to a raw, emotional reckoning while watching Stevie Nicks’ legendary 1997 performance. What followed was a moment of reclamation — of voice, of power, and of truth.

Whether you’re in a season of grief, transition, or reconnection, this episode is a soft reminder:

Have you ever looked around at the life you’re living... full schedules, constant commitments, nonstop doing... and thought, Where did I go in all of this?

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, we explore what it feels like to lose yourself while showing up for everyone else. From long days in the car to never-ending responsibilities, this is an honest conversation about how easy it is to pour from an empty cup and how hard it can be to realize it’s time to refill it.

Lauren shares a deeply personal season of life, navigating motherhood, ambition, and identity, while reflecting on how quickly we can become invisible to ourselves in the process. But this isn’t just about burnout. It’s about reconnection, choice, and what it takes to start meeting your own needs again.

You’ll walk away with a gentle reminder that:

Whether you're a parent, partner, caregiver, or someone just trying to keep it all together, this one’s for you.

Have you ever had a feeling in your gut that you couldn’t explain — but you just knew?

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, we explore the energy of intuition — what it feels like, how to recognize it, and ways to strengthen the quiet inner voice that always knows the way.

You'll learn how to distinguish your intuition from fear, why it's deeply connected to presence, and why sharpening your inner knowing is one of the most powerful things you can do for your life, relationships, business, and spiritual path.

This one is a soul tune-up. Let’s go there.

How to notice when your intuition is speaking to you

Practices to strengthen your intuitive connection

Why honoring your “inner yes” and “inner no” is a game-changer

When relationships feel strained, whether it’s with a partner, friend, family member, or even a colleague, it’s easy to spiral into avoidance, defensiveness, or emotional overwhelm. But what if there was a grounded, practical way to move through the chaos and back into connection?

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, Lauren shares a powerful relationship practice called “Meeting at the Table,” a concept introduced to her by her friend Sherile. It’s an intentional exercise designed to support conflict resolution, deepen understanding, and reset communication with honesty and clarity.

Whether you’re navigating tension in your marriage, a breakdown with a friend, or just want a framework for more productive heart-to-hearts, this episode lays out the exact process step by step including how to create mutual timelines for change and real follow-up.

Inside, you’ll learn:

This isn’t just about talking it out. It’s about building something new together.

After nearly four years away from the mic, I’m back! And this time, with deeper roots and softer edges.

In this premiere episode of the newly evolved Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, I’m sharing the truth behind my quiet season. This wasn’t just a break. It was a sacred pause...a chapter filled with stillness, depression, identity shifts, and ultimately… a deeper presence with the people I love most.

I talk candidly about what it really looked like to step away from the noise, including the emotional toll of slowing down, the hollowness I couldn’t quite name, and the unexpected moment during my daughter’s Spirit Week that reminded me exactly why I needed to pause.

If you’ve ever found yourself craving stillness but fearing what you’ll find in the silence, this episode is for you.
