About this episode
In this episode, Lauren shares her experiences with unrecognized patterns that affected her life and relationships, discussing how they nearly broke her and the insights gained from writing her book.
This week, I'm sharing the truth about the patterns I didn't recognize — the ones that quietly shaped how I moved through love, business, and life. Patterns of overgiving. Over-explaining. Over-functioning. Patterns of abandoning myself to avoid conflict, stay liked, or keep someone else comfortable. In this episode, I talk about how these patterns nearly broke me — and how writing this book helped me finally see them for what they were: survival tactics that were no longer serving me. I also read an excerpt from one of the chapters where I unpack a cycle I kept repeating… until I finally broke it. If you've ever felt stuck in the same story, or wondered why you keep ending up in the same kind of relationship or dynamic — this episode will feel like a mirror.
