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.

What if discipline wasn’t about punishment, but about self-respect? In this episode of Life Talks with Lauren, we’re rethinking the way we approach discipline—shifting from shame to self-love. Inspired by a quote from @bluewmist, I’m sharing how this mindset shift changed my life and how it can transform yours, too.
In This Episode, We Cover:
-
Why discipline rooted in shame leads to guilt, burnout, and inconsistency.
-
How reframing your habits as acts of self-care can make them more sustainable.
-
My personal experience with exercise—from using it as a punishment to embracing it as self-love.
-
The emotional toll of a “no excuses” mindset and how to break free from it.
-
Practical ways to shift your mindset and build habits that feel good and last.
Reflection Questions for You:
-
What’s one area of your life where discipline feels like punishment rather than self-care?
-
How do you typically talk to yourself when you don’t follow through on a habit or goal?
-
Can you reframe one of your “I have to” statements into an “I deserve to” statement?
-
How would your daily habits change if you approached them from a place of love rather than obligation?
-
What’s one small act of self-discipline you can commit to this week that feels like self-respect rather than self-punishment?
