UPC You Later

This week we are back with a brand new guest to talk about her experience inside of the UPC. From a very young age her entire life plan was set by her family, who was also her leadership. With everything on track, life had a heartbreaking way of making everything fall apart. One question leads to another and at the end of the day the decision to search for answers isn’t always easy.

This week Lauren and I wrap up her story by discussing life after leaving. It can be tough to find yourself and community so Lauren tells us how she navigated life after leaving.

This week Lauren talks about her time spent in the ALJC. We discuss similarities between the UPCI and the ALJC, leaders being treated as celebrities, and what her “I’ve had enough” moment was.
