We all need a friend we can talk to about anything. But it’s not always easy to find people who are willing to open up about pretty much anything. Allow me to be that friend. This is a podcast where no topic is off-limits, and we swap judgment for aiming to understand and relate to each other. Let’s just talk about life--the messy parts, and the pretty parts, and the in-between. We’ll talk self-love, mental health, relationships, body image, and so much more! Have a topic you wanna bring on? Pitch your idea to me over on Instagram @laurenmkendrick.

Ep. 154-Let's Talk Self-Validation
Tuesday Apr 02, 2024
Tuesday Apr 02, 2024
Do you ever feel insecure about your weight, how you think others perceive you, etc.? Because, same. Recently, I haven't been feeling pretty--and I know how trivial that sounds. But (especially as women) we think about our appearance so often. To the point where we're willing to spend thousands of dollars and torture ourselves just to look a certain way. But what truly makes us beautiful, and how can we learn to validate ourselves when we feel insecure about how we look? Let's discuss. You can always reach out and tell me your thoughts about this episode by connecting with me on Instagram @laurenmkendrick. Love you!

Ep. 153: Let's Talk Vulnerability and Oversharing
Tuesday Mar 26, 2024
Tuesday Mar 26, 2024
Is it hard for you to open up to people, or does it come naturally? For me, it's a mixture of both. People often ask how I'm able to be so vulnerable--especially with how much I share on this podcast, and how much I used to share on social media. And honestly? I do it so I feel less alone, and in hopes that you'll feel less alone too. How can you tell the difference between being vulnerable and oversharing? Let's talk about it! Dive into the episode and share your thoughts with me on Instagram @laurenmkendrick. Can't wait to hear from you!

Ep. 152-Embracing Platonic Love and Women Friendships
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
As women, we're conditioned to prime ourselves for romantic love. So much so that when we struggle to find a long-term romantic partner, we think there's something wrong with us. But what about platonic love? The intimacy we share with our girls through laughter, secrets, asking for advice, and so much more. I wouldn't be where I am today without my female friendships, and I'm curious to know if you feel the same. You can share your experiences with me on Instagram @laurenmkendrick. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the episode!

Body image and how comfortable we feel in our skin is such an individual journey. We come from a multitude of experiences that shape the way we feel, and that often leads to struggling to accept the body we're in. In this episode, let's talk about some of the things that impact how we relate to our own bodies, and think about others.

Hi, friends! In this week’s episode you’re getting a deep dive into how my mind works. I've never necessarily felt "normal," and have always felt like there's something wrong with my mind. I feel like I never know who I'm gonna be from day to day--which feels really vulnerable to talk about so openly, because I hide it well. So if you're interested in hearing more, be sure to check out the episode and let me know what you think!
