In this very special episode of the podcast, I sit down with Lauri Taylor to discuss the period of her life when she and her family were upended by the disappearance of her mother.  

Found 10 days later, beaten and battered across the Mexican border, Lauri began working with law enforcement to find her Mother's killer, only to sadly discover, after a grueling 4 years, that her mother had not been murdered. Lauri's Mother, it was discovered, had actually died by suicide.

Lauri has now found purpose as a crusader for mental health advocacy, and greater awareness, more compassion, and less stigma in our conversations about these topics; subjects begging for more nuance in the way we speak about, perceive and process them.

We explore her thoughts, experiences, and where she has arrived to today in depth. Lauri is a treasure-trove of knowledge, wisdom and perspective. Her candor is a gift to us all, as is her ability to crystalize these concepts for us in story.

Lauri has written a book about these events called "The Accidental Truth" which can be found and purchased here
