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.

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.
