Lauren is a health & wellness coaching specializing in women and mothers who are living life with a disability. Growing up with Spina Bifida, Lauren had spent a significant amount of time in and out of the operating room. At nearly 20 years old a surgery on her spine left her partially paralyzed. After coursing through this new challenge, she met her husband and began to create a family. Two children later, Lauren is helping others overcome their own debilitations. Surgeries, wheelchairs and the pain were undoubtedly a challenge, but nothing was harder and more challenging than dealing with Postpartum Depression after her second child. It was the lowest point in her life which ultimately lead to self-harm. When medication was not enough, a stroll through Barnes & Noble gave her the first tool she needed to begin to heal herself. Read the book that changed her life: “Hot Mess to Mindful Mom” Listen to Lauren’s story on the Full Episode!   Connect with Lauren!   Instagram: @spiritualmeditationmama   Join me on

What does it mean to actually listen or hear your intuition for the first time? You’ve probably heard it a lot in your lifetime: trust your gut, follow your instincts, listen to your intuition. You may be really in tune with that already and you may not. You may already notice what its like when your intuition is speaking up, but you don’t follow it. Your gut, your instinct, your intuition it’s all the same thing. Its your Internal Guidance System, your internal GPS. It’s this guidance system within you that is connected to your source, provider, source, God whatever you believe in. Its this unseen, not tangible connection to the universal energy that is. Although it may not be physical, its metaphysical as its part of your energetic source. Whatever you want to call it, trust in your Gut! What does that mean? This can show up in a couple of ways: Your internal Guidance is in place to guide you in the best direction at all times. I believe that its there to always steer you in the best direction, not necessar

You know those people who just seem like a ball of light? They resonate with you and you feel drawn to their energy. Well, Kelsey is totes one of those people for me! I immediately felt at ease when we sat down and recorded the show together. I think what especially drew me to Kelsey is her fresh & positive perspective on life. From having gone through the trauma of losing a parent as a teenager, the financial struggles of declaring bankruptcy, and making a major life change of converting to Islam,  she’s the good in all of it. She sees the lessons and knows that every hardship up until this point has lead her down the path she already knew she wanted to go. Those are my kind of people =) Listen to Kelsey’s story as we talk about how being an outsider can be freeing and abandoning expectations so you can step into the live that you were meant to live.   Connect with Kelsey!

After interviewing podcast guests for about a month now, there is an overwhelming theme I keep coming across… self-care. During the month of August I found myself in a complete funk. Downright depressed one of the days and it was completely out of the blue, so unlike me, but I could not get myself out of it. What’s the first thing to go when we are feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Time for ourselves. This is the last thing that should fall to the wayside, yet we let ourselves become a lower priority. We’ve all heard the saying, “you can’t pour from an empty cup,” and the message is true. But not only that, you cannot pour at all when there is no cup. When we don’t create a solid foundation of who we are, we are I began to see and hear the message of having NON-negotiables everywhere! From my podcast guests, to the podcasts I was listening to, to my own friends and family. Every sign was leading me to see that I needed to implement this back into my life… now. And hello! I have been preaching morning routine
