Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. 

In this heartfelt episode, Lauren sits down with her best friend, fellow energy practitioner, author, teacher, and recent TEDx speaker, Hilary Crowley. Fresh off the TEDx stage, Hilary opens up about the powerful message behind her talk, the emotional experience of delivering it, and the deeply personal stories she had to leave out due to time constraints. But what didn’t make it into the final cut finds its place here, especially the life-changing lessons she’s learned through her journey as a foster mom.

Together, Lauren and Hilary explore what it means to love, let go, and lead with energy on stage and at home.
They dive into:-Preparing for and delivering a TED Talk
-The power of airing and releasing personal stories, both publicly and privately
-How compassion and healing shaped Hilary’s journey as a foster mom
-What it truly means to raise a good heart in a world that often demands self-protection
-The challenge and gift of keeping an open heart through uncertainty, growth, and change
-The unexpected gifts of foster parenting

Tune in to break down why compassion, surrender, and release are essential practices for parents, and for all of us.
