Not So Status Quo

In this solo episode, Lauren explores how to course correct your life without starting over.

She talks about how many of us move through life on autopilot, staying busy but never pausing to ask whether we’re actually aligned with our bigger vision. Through a personal life update, Lauren shares her own realisation around the need to build an independent personal brand, the subtle signs things were drifting off track, and how intentional pauses helped her recalibrate.

You’ll also be guided through a simple self-check exercise to help you assess whether your current direction still matches the life you want to create, and what to do if it doesn’t.

If you’ve been feeling slightly off, restless, or unsure whether you’re heading where you truly want to go, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and course correct with clarity.

Are you doing everything right like the journaling, visualising, "working hard" yet somehow still feel like your dream life is just out of reach?

In this episode, we're unpacking the reason so many women stay “forever on the journey”: busy, productive, and endlessly almost there, but never quite arriving.

You’ll discover what’s really happening beneath the surface when you feel stuck in the waiting room of your own life, and how subconscious beliefs, identity blocks, and fear of success quietly keep you from walking through the doors to the life you truly desire.

Lauren shares her own story of realising she’d set up camp in her waiting room (mistaking movement for momentum) and the exact mindset and self-concept shifts that helped her step into arrival energy and start creating real results.

✨ In this episode:

• Why you keep “doing the work” but not seeing progress

• The subconscious fears that hold you in a constant waiting loop

• How identity and self-concept shape your reality

• What it actually takes to leave the waiting room and arrive

• Practical steps to embody your next-level self today

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or like your goals are always just around the corner, this conversation will help you understand why, and more importantly, how to shift it.

Have you ever wondered why your manifestations don’t stick around, even though you want them so badly? Or why it’s so much easier to ask than to truly receive? In this episode, we go deep into the gap between wanting and allowing... because receiving isn’t just a privilege. It’s a skill you can build.

We’ll explore:

• Why you might block abundance even when you consciously want it

• How child, cultural, or relational programming keeps you stuck in a receivership loop

• The role of identity, nervous system safety, and capacity-building in allowing more in

• Real-life examples in money, love, and emotional support

• Tangible micro-actions you can practice today to increase your ability to receive

  
  

If you’ve ever felt guilty when blessings landed, questioned whether you “deserve” what you asked for, or noticed yourself shrinking just when the momentum builds, this conversation is for you.

✨ You will learn how to shift from wanting to receiving so that alignment, fulfilment, and abundance aren’t fleeting, but your new normal. If you're ready to deepen your relationship with receiving and rewrite your capacity to hold more, dive in now!

What if the very thing keeping you stuck… is how small you’re letting yourself dream?

In today’s solo episode, we’re diving deep into the ways ambitious women shrink; not because they don’t want more, but because it’s safer not to. Whether it’s fear of judgment, childhood conditioning, cultural pressures, or a self-concept that hasn’t caught up to the woman you’re becoming, playing small comes at a cost. And that cost? Is your next level.

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve ever felt guilty or ashamed for wanting more

• You’ve hidden your big desires to stay “low maintenance” or avoid being “too much”

• You’re ready to stop waiting for permission and start building the life you actually want

We’ll unpack:
• Why suppressing your desires suppresses your expansion• The subconscious patterns keeping you in your comfort zone• Tangible steps to start claiming your desires again

What happens when the vision that once lit you up… suddenly feels far away?

This episode is for the women who are deeply driven... but also deeply tired. The ones who still believe in the dream, but are too burnt out to move. The ones who are “doing the work,” holding space, pushing forward and wondering if they can keep going.

Inside this solo episode, I explore:

• The hidden side of ambition no one talks about

• The difference between burnout, resistance, and boredom

• Subtle signs you’re in high-functioning burnout

• Micro-practices to reconnect and realign (even if you’re short on time)

• How to rebuild a vision that doesn’t burn you out

Whether you’re in the messy middle, questioning your path, or just craving a slower, softer way to get to your next level, this is your reminder that success and wellbeing are not mutually exclusive.

And as always, take what lands, leave what doesn’t, and honour your pace!

You’re journaling. You’re listening to the podcasts. You’re doing the mindset work… so why hasn’t your life shifted yet?

In this solo episode of Not So Status Quo, we’re getting real about a frustrating (and wildly common) experience: doing all the inner work but not seeing the external results to match.

This isn’t because you’re not trying hard enough. It’s because there’s often a gap between knowing and embodying. Between intention and integration.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

✨ What the “embodiment gap” actually is and why it’s keeping you stuck
✨ The difference between dabbling in personal growth and living it
✨ How your nervous system plays a huge role in blocking (or allowing) your next level
✨ What to do if you’re stuck in cycles of insight without transformation
✨ Practical tools to shift from consuming inspiration to becoming the version of you who gets results

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but not seeing the change you crave, this episode will connect the missing dots.

You don’t need more information. You need integration.

In this deep honest and expansive conversation, I’m joined by the incredible woman behind Holding Space with Grace, a community and events brand designed to help women reconnect with themselves, one nourishing experience at a time.

Grace Henry-Hicks shares her story of leaving home to study in Sydney, navigating loneliness, shifting from fashion to real estate, and ultimately walking away from the career (and relationship) that no longer felt aligned. After spending time living in Los Angeles, diving deep into human design, and hosting her first few women’s events, she returned to Australia to build the vision that had been calling her all along.

We talk about:

• What it really takes to reinvent your life, again and again

• The role discomfort plays in your growth and clarity

• How moving countries and changing industries helped her find purpose

• The magic of micro shifts (not massive leaps) when creating a life that aligns

• How she now creates safe, soulful events, workshops and retreats for other women to bloom

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, uncertain of your next step, or craving a deeper sense of meaning, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired and reminded that you’re allowed to start again.

If you’ve ever found yourself avoiding your bank account, undercharging for your work, or feeling guilty when money flows in, this episode is for you.

In part two of our Money Block series, we move beyond awareness and into aligned action. You’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, rewire deep beliefs about money and create a self-concept that actually feels safe holding wealth and abundance.

We explore:

• How your body’s response reveals hidden money fears

• Why energy and nervous system safety are the missing links in manifestation

• A guided energy audit to identify where resistance lives in your body

• Powerful affirmations that rebuild your identity as someone who is abundant

• Practical actions you can take today to stop repelling money and start receiving it

If you’re ready to stop hustling for every dollar and start embodying the version of you who already has it, this episode will help you get there.

You might not think you have money blocks but chances are, they’re running the show behind the scenes.

In this episode of Not So Status Quo, we’re diving deep into the subtle ways your subconscious beliefs, nervous system patterns & childhood programming are shaping your financial reality… even if you’re “doing the mindset work.”

We unpack:

• Why your nervous system might not feel safe holding more money

• How scarcity energy shows up in sneaky ways (even during manifesting)

• Why you self-sabotage right before a financial breakthrough

• Childhood stories that still influence your bank account

• The identity gap between what you say you want and what you’re actually available for

This isn’t just about money, it’s about how you see yourself, how you regulate your energy, and how to actually become a match for abundance.

Whether you undercharge, avoid looking at your bank account, or feel uncomfortable spending on yourself, this episode will give you powerful insight into what’s really going on beneath the surface.

BONUS - a cool activity is at the end so you can start to notice where your blocks might be.

👀 Part two drops next week, where I’ll walk you through how to start rewiring your money story and creating a new relationship with wealth.

Have you ever felt like burning your whole life down and starting over? Like everything you’ve built... the job, the routine, the identity just doesn’t fit anymore?

In this solo episode, Lauren explores what it really means when you're frustrated, stuck, or misaligned in your life. It’s not always about walking away from everything. Sometimes, the deeper call is to "come home " to yourself. To stop abandoning who you truly are.

We dive into:
- Why we crave drastic change (and what we’re actually seeking)
- The difference between aligned action and emotional reaction
- How internal stories about identity, worth and success can sabotage your happiness
- Why reinvention is often about unlearning, not escaping
- How to restart your life without burning it all to the ground

If you're feeling disconnected, unfulfilled or like you're pretending in your own life, this episode is your invitation to reset, reconnect and begin again from a place of truth.

It’s time to shift out of autopilot, shed what no longer fits and choose a path that actually feels like yours.

Let’s shift your self-concept and elevate your reality.
