Single (not spiraling)

In this episode Lauren gets real about what the work actually looks like — not the highlight reel version, not the "I healed and now everything is great" version, but the real thing. She walks you through the specific areas she works on with her clients every single day: breaking the fantasy of who you want someone to be, building self worth through values work, inner child work and what it actually means to reparent yourself, pleasure as a form of self knowledge, and releasing the shame that lives in your sxuality and your body. She also shares something that happened recently that stopped her in her tracks — a reminder that nobody gets to the other side alone. Not her clients. Not her. Not you. If you have ever felt like you understand yourself but still can't seem to feel different, this episode is for you.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

You've been doing the work. Decentering men, healing, growing, showing up for yourself. But when's the last time your life actually felt magical? In this episode we're talking about whimsy — what it actually is, why your space matters more than you think, and how to stop living inside your Pinterest board and start building the life that's already on it. Lauren gets into why being away from her own space cracked something open, why choosing delight right now is not frivolous, and how romancing yourself is what decentering men actually looks like in practice. Plus how to whimsy out your life without spending a ton of money — because Facebook Marketplace and thrift stores exist and we are using them. If you have been waiting for the right apartment, the right moment, the right version of your life to start making it feel like yours — this is your permission slip.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

Does your life actually suck or are you just on social media too much? Because I think for a lot of women it's the second one and we don't even realize it's happening. In this episode I get into what comparing yourself to everyone online is actually costing you, why it keeps getting mistaken for self improvement, and how to figure out which parts of your life are actually yours versus things you absorbed from a screen.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

If you've been feeling flat, uninspired, and like everything — even the things you used to love — has started to feel like a chore, this episode is for you. Lauren recorded this one burnt out, seven clients deep into her week, because sometimes the most honest thing you can do is talk about the thing you're actually in. This episode is a real conversation about what burnout is, what it feels like in your body, and why it hits differently when you spend your days holding space for other people. Lauren pulls from the introduction of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski — including their definition of burnout, the concept that the system itself is rigged against women, and why people in helping roles tend to burn out faster and harder than most. Whether you're burnt out on dating, on work, on life, or all three at once — this one will make you feel a lot less alone in it.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

If you've been doing the work of decentering men but feel like something isn't clicking, this is the episode you need. Because the first step to decentering men is decentering romance — and most of us have never even questioned the story we were sold about what our lives are supposed to look like.In this episode we're getting into where the conditioning actually started, how fairy tales, rom-coms, and even our mothers shaped us into women who were taught to wait to be found instead of building a life. We're talking about the male gaze we internalized without knowing it, what we've been outsourcing to the idea of a relationship, and what it actually looks like to stop waiting and start living.This is not about giving up on love. This is about reclaiming your life.Single (Not Spiraling) is the podcast for women who are decentering men — one honest conversation at a time.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

In your 30s, something shifts. You’ve done the therapy. You’ve built the self-worth. You’ve stopped settling for emotionally unavailable men. And now you find yourself in a strange in-between — loving your independence but still craving real partnership. In this episode, I’m talking about the tension of wanting love without losing yourself. The nervous system ease of being single. The fear of slipping back into old patterns. The grief that can come when something good disrupts the identity you built around doing life alone. And the cultural shift that’s made dating feel smaller, not because love isn’t real, but because your standards are higher. If you’ve ever felt stuck between protecting your peace and opening your heart, this conversation is for you.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?
