I Lost My Partner To Suicide… And It Rebuilt Me with Lauren Camilleri

What if the people who look the most “put together” on the outside… are quietly falling apart on the inside?In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Camilleri — co-founder of KYND Community (Bali) — for one of the most raw, honest, and transformational conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast. Lauren built a global hospitality and lifestyle brand from a tiny kiosk in Seminyak at 19 years old. From the outside, her life looks like the dream. But behind the success, Lauren was navigating something almost no one talks about openly: the loss of her partner of 7 years to suicide and the painful, beautiful rebuilding of who she is on the other side of grief.We talk about what grief actually does to your identity, your nervous system, and your sense of purpose. We talk about the stories we tell ourselves (“I’m not enough,” “Who am I without my success?”), the difference between confidence and courage, and why authenticity is the highest form of self-love. Lauren also shares the truth behind building KYND Community: choosing purpose over money, surviving Covid, leading 150+ team members, and learning to let her business run without losing herself in it.If you’ve ever experienced loss, self-doubt, burnout, or the quiet pressure of holding it all together while everyone thinks you’re “fine” — this conversation is for you.In this episode, we cover:- How Lauren dropped out of school at 16 and built her first business at 19Building Kind Community — purpose over profit, kindness as a brand- The reality of grief after losing a partner to suicide- How loss can become a spiritual rebirth and reconnection to self- The stories we tell ourselves (and how they quietly run our lives)- Confidence vs courage and how to actually build both- Why authenticity is the highest form of self-love- Coming home to yourself after losing someone you loveWatch if you’re searching for:grief and loss, losing a partner, suicide loss survivor, healing after suicide, female founder story, women in business, entrepreneur mental health, purpose over profit, building a brand with values, Bali entrepreneur, KYND Community Bali, self-doubt, confidence building, identity after loss, spiritual awakening, healing journey, authenticity, self-love, personal growth for women.If this episode touched you, share it with someone who is grieving, rebuilding, or quietly holding it all together — they need to hear they’re not alone.Let’s grow and glow together! 🤍▶ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samarova_/▶ Follow the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/notjusthisplusone/▶ Follow Lauren: https://www.instagram.com/lolbali/
