Watch Me

Mental health medication has helped save my life—and I still wish I didn’t need it sometimes. I live with bipolar disorder and ADHD, and my relationship with psychiatric medication has been anything but simple. I’ve tried 36 different medications. I’ve stopped taking my meds because I convinced myself I had “healed” enough to not need them anymore. I misused my ADHD medication when I was 19. I’ve...

Bipolar disorder is so much more complicated than “mood swings.” I was diagnosed with Rapid Cycling Bipolar I at 19, and for years I’ve lived through the mania, depression, medication changes, stigma, warning signs, mistakes, stability, and everything in between. But this episode isn’t just about what bipolar looks like in my brain. We’re talking about what bipolar disorder can actually look like...

How much of your life are you making decisions around what other people want, think, expect—or might say about you afterward? People-pleasing can look like being helpful, dependable, easygoing, and always willing to show up. But when you’re constantly saying yes because you’re afraid of disappointing someone, overexplaining every no, taking responsibility for everyone’s emotions, or changing your...

You’re not just tired from what you’re doing. You’re tired from everything you’re remembering, anticipating, planning, noticing, scheduling, and mentally carrying all day long. The doctor appointments. The birthdays. The groceries. The school calendar. The thing your partner mentioned three days ago. The Halloween costumes. The work deadline. The dishes you’re silently waiting to see if someone el...

Some seasons are not a full crisis… they are just a lot. In this episode of The Watch Me Podcast, I’m talking about the tiny things saving my mental health right now. Not the perfect morning routine. Not the aesthetic wellness checklist. Not a full life overhaul. Just the real things that are helping me feel a little more grounded in the middle of work, motherhood, school schedules, kids’ activiti...

ADHD is not laziness. It is not a character flaw. It is not “just being distracted.” And it is definitely not an excuse. In this episode of Watch Me , I’m kicking off the new Let’s Talk About It series with a real, honest conversation about ADHD in adults — what people think it is, what it can actually look like, and why so many people, especially women and moms, go years feeling broken when they...

You can be functioning, showing up, getting things done, and still be quietly exhausted inside your own mind. In this episode of The Watch Me Podcast, we’re talking about why mental health matters — not just when you’re in crisis, not just if you have a diagnosis, and not just when life finally falls apart. Mental health matters because it affects the way you think, feel, love, parent, work, dream...

Overthinking can feel like being responsible, thoughtful, and self-aware… until suddenly you’re lying in bed replaying every conversation, questioning every decision, and putting your whole life on trial after 9 p.m. In this episode of The Watch Me Podcast , Lauren talks about the exhausting habit of overthinking and how it shows up in motherhood, friendships, relationships, big dreams, and late-n...

You can know you’re worthy and still live like your worth is on trial. You can build confidence, grow, heal, help people, achieve the goal, check the boxes, and still quietly wonder, “Why doesn’t this feel like enough?” In Part 2 of this Worthy conversation, inspired by Jamie Kern Lima’s book Worthy , Lauren talks about fulfillment, self-worth, and what it really means to build a life that feels l...

What if the problem was never that you needed to become more worthy? What if the real work was unlearning the lie that said you weren’t worthy in the first place? In this episode of The Watch Me Podcast , Lauren starts Part 1 of the Worthy conversation, inspired by Jamie Kern Lima’s book Worthy . This episode is for the woman who looks confident on the outside but still feels like she has to prove...

You can know exactly why you’re hurting and still not be healed. In this episode of Watch Me , Lauren gets honest about the difference between being self-aware and actually healing. Because sometimes we can name the trigger, explain the pattern, understand the wound, and still feel stuck in the same shame, fear, and old stories. This conversation goes deeper than “doing the work.” Lauren talks abo...

What if the life you want is not too big? What if you’ve just been trained to think too small? In this episode of Watch Me , we’re getting honest about why so many women settle for less than what they actually want. I’m talking about the fear, the self-doubt, the “be realistic” conditioning, the waiting, the hiding, and the lie that wanting more makes you selfish or delusional. We’re talking about...

Confidence is not something you are born with. It is not something you wait to feel. It is something you build. In this episode, I’m breaking down the lie women have been sold about confidence and what actually creates it in real life. We’re talking about comparison, self-trust, courage, keeping promises to yourself, doing things that make you feel good about yourself, and why confidence is built...

People love to say “feel your feelings” like it’s easy. It’s not. Especially if you grew up being told you were too dramatic, too emotional, too much, or if you’ve ever had seasons where your own mind made your feelings feel hard to trust. In this episode, I’m talking about why emotions are not the problem, what actually happens when you suppress them, and why avoiding your feelings can start show...

In this episode of Watch Me , I’m talking about fear of failure, overthinking, self-sabotage, perfectionism, and the deeper story so many of us attach to failing. Because most of the time, we are not just afraid something won’t work, we’re afraid of what it might mean about us if it doesn’t. I’m sharing how fear of failure showed up in my own life, where it started, how it can quietly shape your c...

What if you are not actually lost? What if you are just outgrowing the version of you that no longer fits? In this episode of The Watch Me Podcast , I’m talking about identity, reinvention, and what it feels like to keep finding yourself at every stage of life. I share how I stepped away from hustle culture, leaned into curiosity, spirituality, fantasy books, and the parts of myself I had buried f...

 Welcome to the Watch Me Podcast . This is for the women who are done shrinking, done second-guessing themselves, and done believing every lie their mind throws at them. We’re talking confidence, mental health, identity, healing, growth, and becoming the version of yourself you know you’re meant to be. In this first episode, I’m sharing why I started this podcast, what “Watch Me” really means, and...

If you replay every conversation, question whether you were too much, or keep making yourself smaller because of what people might think, this episode is for you. We’re talking about fear of judgment, confidence, self-trust, and how to stop abandoning yourself for approval. I’m getting real about being called too much, the inner critic that had the mic for way too long, and what it actually takes...

In this episode of The Watch Me Podcast , we’re talking about limiting beliefs — the quiet lies that can live in your head for so long they start sounding like truth. The ones that tell you you’re not enough, not qualified, too much, too late, too broken, or too behind to go after the life you really want. I’m sharing where these beliefs come from, how they get built through rejection, comparison,...
