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!

In this episode, we're sharing how we took an intentional psilocybin "trip" this past spring to activate subconscious recall and reparent our own inner child. We share in-depth experiences about what traumas came up for us, and we educate on the subconscious mind so you understand why this work works!

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.

I (Jenna) am officially a certified level 1 Human Design reader, and what better way to share this with you than to use Lauren as the guinea pig!? HA! Tune in as we discuss the different aspects of Lauren's HD - what makes her unique, how she should be using her energy, and where conditioning has led to her burying her true gifts under layers of guilt and shame because she's "different" from the rest of the world. 

What I love most about Human Design is that it's proof that truth is subjective. We are so conditioned to believe that we have to do everything the way the world says we should do them, right? Everything! We have to live a certain way. We have to work a certain way, raise our kids a certain way, eat a certain way, exercise and prioritize our health a certain way… There are these bullshit made up rules for everything!! Understanding your personal human design gives you permission to say "fuck off" to all of those rules and really start living, showing up, and exchanging energy with the world in the way that you were designed to.

Your body is always trying to communicate with you, and if you would take a second to tune in, you would discover that you hold all the answers to your unanswered questions. When you disconnect from your body; aka subscribe to “hustle culture” your body sends you a pretty harsh message…unexplainable annoying pain.

In this episode, Lauren shares how her unexplainable back pain “magically” heals after releasing some much needed emotional pain. Damn our bodies are smart!

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".
