From Childhood Trauma to Dating After Divorce with Lauren

from Shift Happens: From Pain to Purpose

From being bullied by the same group of girls from middle school through high school… to surviving third-degree burns as a young child… Lauren knows what it feels like to walk through pain early in life and carry the weight of those experiences. And like so many women, life didn’t stop throwing curveballs. In this conversation, we talk about how those early wounds shape confidence, what it really takes to rebuild your identity after hardship, and how to move forward when your life doesn’t look the way you once imagined—including what it’s like navigating the dating world after divorce. Because the truth is, owning your story isn’t always clean or polished. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. But sometimes the very things we want to hide… are the things that end up setting us free. This is Lauren’s story.     RESOURCES FREE STORY METHOD GUIDE- to help you process, own and share your story  FOLLOW@alexisnandra @shifthappensthepod
