147: Lauren's Cancer Journey: The Beginning Stages & Becoming the True Observer

147: Lauren's Cancer Journey: The Beginning Stages & Becoming the True Observer

I, Lauren, am 33 years old with 2 boys (almost 6 and almost 2), I’m a wife, daughter, friend, and entrepreneur. and I am battling cancer. ⁣This episode walks you through the beginning stages of my journey - finding out my diagnosis, my treatment plan, and what’s been coming up for me throughout this process. I talk about how I’m becoming the true observer of myself and falling deeply in love with who I am.

Being diagnosed with cancer with 2 toddlers at home has been the biggest challenge I have ever had to face. When I found out the news I was crushed beyond words and so afraid of how my illness would affect all the people around me. I honestly wasn’t even thinking about the cancer in my body. ⁣

I was terrified I would traumatize my kids because now they have a mom who has cancer. My husband would have to basically turn into a single dad and handle so much of the responsibilities. Thankfully we have the most amazing grandparents in the world and my sister who is helping so much!

The thoughts in my head when I was first told I had an 8x13x11 mass in my chest were scary as hell…

⁣What if I don't wake up tomorrow? ⁣

What if this cancer is not treatable? ⁣

What if I never see my kids and family again? ⁣

Am I going to lose my hair? ⁣

Am I going to feel super sick? And for how long? ⁣

Will I ever feel normal again? ⁣

My thoughts were dark and on repeat. ⁣

Once I received my diagnosis, a treatment plan, and all the support in the world I started experiencing more peace, even though most days are a challenge in one way or another. Even with that, I feel this overflow of love and abundance I can’t even put into words. ⁣

I am so freaking grateful I have done so much inner healing work up until this point because now I have all the tools I need to beat the shit out of this cancer and I feel this power deep in my veins.

⁣If sharing my story can help one other person not feel alone, then I did my job. Cancer is very scary but it doesn’t have to be battled alone.

If you’re listening to this and struggling right now please know you have the inner strength to feel love, peace, joy, and abundance, and you can do this! I share my story with you in hopes to show you that all the answers you seek are within. If you’re ready to take the leap into healing this is your sign. We are here for you!

145: Welcome to Season 2!

We’re BACK, and we feel like completely different people. This episode is a life update - we talk about all the healing work we’ve done over the past year to really help us expand into the people we are today. So much has changed since we last recorded, and we’re so happy to be back on the mic! This episode is a preview of what’s to come now that we’re back recording weekly episodes. Some may think it’s crazy to bring the podcast back right as Lauren is facing a diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, but we honestly felt called to openly share what we’re moving through, and this timing felt completely aligned.

140: Deep Healing with Special Guest Jenna Brown

140: Deep Healing with Special Guest Jenna Brown

In this episode, we're interviewing Jenna Brown, one of the experts that we're partnering with for our 12-week Intuitive Healing program, In Sync. We've personally worked with Jenna throughout our own healing journeys, and when we made the choice to step into her energy and we surrendered to this deeper work, we experienced monumental shifts - quicker than we ever thought possible. Jenna specializes in helping you reconnect with your intuition, deconstruct old paradigms that are no longer serving you, re-engage with your inner child, and embark into shadow work through many different methods, including hypnotherapy, NLP timeline therapy, and subconscious reprogramming. Her own personal shifts came after she had a near-death experience while pregnant with her third baby. She shares those personal details with you here, and will give you a new perspective when it comes to breaking free from "Hustle Culture".

106: How to Avoid the Comparison Trap

Comparison can be a real b*tch. One minute, you can feel totally on the right track! You can be feeling extremely proud of the accomplishments you've made, and you can be in an incredible mood! But then - WHOOSH - just like that, those feelings are gone, replaced by feelings of inadequacy, self-judgement, and even jealousy disguised as admiration. 

It's actually pretty unreal just how quickly that shift can happen, and we're here to give you our best tips to avoid that mental trap. In this episode, we give you several things to STOP doing on the regular, and several things to START doing! You're going to leave this episode with a whole new perspective.

105: Episode Re-Release - Setting Appropriate Boundaries

It's time to re-release another one of our most popular episodes! We're talking BOUNDARIES, and why it's absolutely necessary for you to set them! It may feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you're typically someone who spoon-feeds those around you and you normally drop everything you're doing to help someone else. BUT - you need to get real about this...for your own sanity.  Get ready to feel confident saying "NO" to the things that don't serve you, and "YES" to the things that bring you life!

104: When to Pivot as an Entrepreneur...is the "Squirrel Syndrome" Hurting Your Business?

104: When to Pivot as an Entrepreneur...is the "Squirrel Syndrome" Hurting Your Business?

In this episode, we're talking business! Hopefully you're familiar with the dog in the movie Up when he gets frequently distracted by the squirrels...well, unfortunately, that "squirrel syndrome" can also apply to your business!

This episode is for all of our entrepreneurs: Specifically, this goes out to those of you who have so many ideas floating around in your head but you just can’t seem to nail anything down.

We talk about the difference between "pivoting" and "shifting" when it comes to big ideas, and how and when change can break trust with your audience. Our hope with this episode is that we can guide you to narrow down your focus and truly work with the clients you're excited to work with instead of chasing the next shiny (or furrry!) thing.

If you take one big idea away from this episode, let it be this: A Confused Audience Never Buys!

103: Releasing Mom Guilt + Prioritizing YOU!

103: Releasing Mom Guilt + Prioritizing YOU!

In this episode, we're diving headfirst into guilt and motherhood. We've talked to so many moms who really struggle with mental demons when it comes to putting themselves first. It's easy to fall into the habit and routine of waking up and starting your day for others, but in the long run, everyone benefits the most when Mom starts her day for herself! We're not saying it's going to be easy, but we do give you some tips and takeaways to reframe your thinking. We also explore some pretty interesting data regarding kids' brain development from ages 0-7 that we think will really help you see the big picture and start to make those small daily shifts.

100: Taming Your Inner Control Freak

In this episode, we're talking straight to our control freaks! And, we can do this, because we've been there too! Releasing the need to control situations can be extremely challenging, but when you're able to truly trust in the universe and follow your intuition and your gut reactions without overthinking and overanalyzing, it will really help you feel less anxious and more aligned with your true path in life. 

We're guiding you through this process in this episode: How to truly listen to your body and lean into what you need in the moment, and how to accept that you can't control everything. True freedom comes when you're able to ask for help and communicate openly and honestly with those closest to you!
