Explicit content warning
10/12/23 • 32 min
Lauren is a disabled wife & mom living with chronic pain, depression, and paralyzing anxiety and PTSD due to multiple forms of assault and abuse. In 2017 Lauren had to stop working due to debilitating spinal pain. For the next two years, She was in a deep depression. But one day, after looking at her then 5 year old daughter, she started to come out of the darkness. Using a mix of intentional daily gratitude, and realizing God could take my broken life and make something beautiful out of it, she started to heal the mental scars, although the physical pain remains, for now. Last year, Lauren started a podcast & blog as ways for her to put good into the world & encourage others with chronic pain, mental health issues, or previous trauma. Thank you Lauren for a wonderful episode!

This is the after thoughts section for Dawn's Story, where Luke and Kyle discuss the previous episode. Dawn left her existing career after burnout and a medical hiccup (her words), and is now trying things that are way out of her comfort zone, working on getting rid of her head trash, taking risks and trying new things out that she has always wanted to do. We loved her episode!!
