This week, we’re talking about how main character energy can drive real change with Victim Advocate and Certified Trauma Support Specialist, Lauren Weingarten.

After over a decade working behind the scenes in film and TV, Lauren turned her own MeToo story into a mission to support survivors and spark conversations online that matter. We dive into how social media can be a tool for healing and how reclaiming your own narrative (even with trauma as part of it) can help shape what comes next.

We also chat about what it’s actually like working in entertainment, why RoboCop deserves more cultural clout, our official stance on Meredith Blake from The Parent Trap, and why Lauren’s dog Donut is the true breakout star of this episode.

We discuss sexual violence, emotional abuse, and trauma. Please take care while listening. Learn more at mtmvsupport.com and follow Lauren @mtmvcommunity.
