Show Notes
If you've landed here wondering who Lauren is and whether this podcast is for you — this episode is your answer.
In this raw, unfiltered episode, Lauren shares the story she's never told in one place — from growing up in a volatile, abusive household, to being kicked out at 17 and living out of her car, to putting herself through nursing school, climbing to Director of Nursing, and still feeling like she was failing at everything.
The moment everything changed? Her 10-year-old son Jack looked up at her with tears streaming down his face and said "Mommy, my least favorite part of my day is coming home."
That was the wake up call.
In this episode Lauren covers:
- How childhood trauma shaped her people-pleasing, identity-shifting patterns
- Why tying your entire worth to nursing leads to burnout — fast
- What it felt like to become Director of Nursing and still feel like a fraud
- Why she left her job and started this podcast
- Where Mind Your Mama is headed — and why burnt out nurses are sitting on a gold mine
- How identity work, nervous system regulation, and digital products can change everything
This podcast is for the nurse who is exhausted, invisible at home, and knows deep down there is something more for her. You are not just a nurse. And Lauren is here to prove it.
