The Bold Foundation Podcast took a long pause. After Part 1 was released, Lauren suffered an unimaginable health crisis. I did not feel right about releasing her 2nd part while this was happening.

Lauren was preparing for a sourdough bread making class she was offering when she suddenly collapsed in her home due to cardiac arrest. Thankfully, friends just so happened to have arrived for the class early and paramedics were reached and arrived quickly. Despite the quick response, Lauren’s condition was serious. She was placed on a life saving ventilator and was placed in ICU. She ended up requiring surgery during her hospital stay but I’m happy to share she is now home recovering.

There are a lot of life adjustments that are being made to help with Lauren’s health - including giving up her job of caretaking babies and toddlers. If you can, please help Lauren, her husband and children by donating to their go fund me as they are navigating this sudden change.

Ep. 10 | Lauren’s Journey to Confidence: Breaking Cycles & Embracing Self-Love

Confidence isn’t something we’re born with—it’s something we build. And for Lauren, or as her friends call her, LC, that journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

In this powerful two-part episode, LC shares how discovering she was adopted at a young age shaped her identity and how she fought through feelings of abandonment, anger, and self-doubt. Through emotional intelligence, self-forgiveness, and resilience, she broke generational cycles and stepped into the life she was meant to live—as a wife, mother, mentor, and friend.

🎧 In Part One, we discuss: ✔️ Overcoming the impact of adoption on self-identity ✔️ Letting go of negative labels and limiting beliefs ✔️ Recognizing generational trauma & postpartum depression ✔️ Finding healing through self-love and emotional growth

LC’s story is one of resilience and transformation, reminding us that healing is possible and that we have the power to rewrite our own stories.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode touches on sensitive topics, including addiction, sexual abuse, mental health concerns, and self-harm. If you or someone you know needs support, text HOME to 741741 for confidential help through the Crisis Text Line.

🌟 Stay tuned for Part Two, where LC dives even deeper into her journey!
