  • For Everyone, Even Grumps Like Me!

    Look, some part of me just seems to reject a lot of things that are too gentle, too sweet, etc. (I have a therapist, thank you, it’s fine 😆) but I have listened to EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE. and somehow, Lauren and her guests bring me riiiiiiight up to the line without triggering that too hard, too cynical place so that even I feel belonging and validation in this space. I learn so much, my heart opens a little more each time. It’s a straight up gift to humanity, thank you!

  • A place one can relate

    This is not what I ordered is an uplifting place to be. One with Chronic illness can relate to so many of Lauren’s guests. Lauren shines light and sometimes laughter on her show. This show shined a bright light when I was in a dark place searching for a diagnosis.

  • Comes across a tad narcissistic “inspiration-porn”. Hear my comments...

    As a young person with a serious chronic illness (not MS, but I have: severe fibromyalgia, arthritis, crippling chronic fatigue, ME/CFS, chronic migraines, neuropathy, partial paralysis, dizziness, severe muscle, joint, nerve, and bone pain, brain fog, hair loss, vision loss, and memory issues) who is also interested in potentially becoming a therapist to help others as Lauren has, I was excited for this podcast. But after listening to 3 episodes, I felt very disappointed. I’m sure Lauren’s inte... more
