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.

Do you ever believe that if you had everything you desire right now, you’d suddenly be happy? What you may not realize is that choosing to feel happy and abundant is available to you, even if your bank account isn’t where you’d like it to be.
When I think of abundance, I imagine myself cozied up in a warm blanket and feeling supported. Your interpretation of abundance may be different from mine. But the key message is to get in the habit of feeling grateful for all you have right now.
If you don’t know how to feel satisfied with the life you have now, you won’t feel any different when you have more. Have you ever noticed how rich people can still feel miserable? It’s because they likely haven’t learned to be thankful and present with what they have. And they end up seeking more, hoping that will bring happiness. But it rarely (if ever) does.
The 3 tips I’ll share with you in this episode will have you feeling grateful, abundant, and content in whatever phase of life you find yourself in.
I’ve also designed this guided meditation you can access here. It combines all of my favorite meditation techniques, and allows you to recharge your energy at any point in the day.

Have you ever snapped at someone and immediately regretted it? When my bonus son moved in with us full time over 5 years ago, I found myself snapping at him a lot. I was often caught off guard by his presence or his requests (especially because I wasn’t used to having children around), and it caused me to react with irritation.
I didn’t like my rude, snippy reactions but sometimes I felt like they were out of my control. But since I’m all about empowerment, I chose to take control instead of allowing the situation to control me.
I went through three steps I’m sharing with you here, and kept practicing until it became a habit for me to respond instead of react. I’ll take you through these simple steps that’ll have you shocking yourself with your ability to stay cool, calm, and collected in a tense situation.

In this episode, I’ll help you become aware of a few less obvious forms of self-sabotage, so you can learn to get out of your own way and become more consistent in reaching your goals.

Tensions are high in America as we become further divided on who to vote for in the upcoming election, whether or not to wear a face mask, and oh...do Black Lives Matter??
In this bonus episode I sit down with my fiancé Jason, and have a difficult conversation about race. But this isn't new to us...as an interracial couple (he's Black, I'm white) we've been having a lot of these conversations lately.
And while these conversations may be uncomfortable, intense, and time-consuming...they're important. We both find it important to educate ourselves and open our eyes to a variety of beliefs, experiences, and research.
This episode should not take the place of your own education or research, nor should you assume that Jason's experience of a Black man in America is the only valid perspective.
I recommend that you continue to form your beliefs on this topic, and take whatever action you feel is necessary based on what you discover along the way.
Our goal with this episode is simply to share our experiences, opinions, beliefs and highlight other perspectives we've been exposed to. Thanks for listening!
Here are some of the resources mentioned in the episode:

News sources to follow
Articles to view/websites to look into

- Police Joining Protests in solidarity
- White Privilege
- NAACP (stands for National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), the largest grassroots civil rights organization

The most basic definition of success is “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose”. Most people think of success as some sort of end game...a destination, or a “when”. I hear so many women saying things like…
“When I lose 20 pounds”
“When I get the job”
“When I live in my dream house”
We think our major accomplishments are the epitome of success. And then we assume that our happiness and fulfillment must be delayed until we possess those accomplishments.
But the truth is...success is a state of mind. And you can make the commitment right now to be successful for the rest of your life. In this episode, I share 3 keys to living your most successful, exuberant life.
Want to know how you can use your newfound definition of success to create positive change in your life? Grab a copy of my Ultimate Guide for Achieving a Work/Life Balance.

For a really long time, I held onto a belief that if I’m not naturally good at something then that’s all there is to it. I should just not do that thing. Couple that with my belief that I should strive for perfection, and I rarely felt brave enough to step out of my comfort zone.
In the process of not wanting to make myself uncomfortable, I felt like something was missing. I knew that if I wanted to be a successful woman and make a difference...I’d have to learn to be brave.
But first there were a few mindset shifts I needed to make before I was able to build up the courage to step out of my comfort zone. In this episode, I'll teach you how you can reframe your thinking on perfectionism and failure so you can begin to appreciate the process it takes to reach the level of success you crave (no matter how big or small your dreams are).

Stress is something we all have in common. And even though it’s something we can relate to, we all handle it in different ways. I grew up with a very stress-prone mom, and as a result I picked up her frantic worrying tendencies. It wasn’t until I realized how much it was negatively impacting my happiness and health that I decided it was time for a change.
Although stress isn’t inherently “bad”, it’s important to make sure that you’re not allowing it to overpower or exhaust you. The negative impact brought on by stress usually comes from the way it shows up in your body. So how do you counteract it? Through changing your physical state.
In this episode I share 5 tools for managing stress that aren’t necessarily new or abstract, but they are the most impactful ways I can think of that allow me to feel centered as often as possible.
The less you allow stress to hold you back, the more productive and present you can become in your everyday life.
Stress is inevitable. The good news is you get to choose how you respond to it. Save this post and think of it as a great starter kit for dealing with life as it comes. When you stress less, you get to show up more fully in your life!
