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.

Have you ever shared something personal with someone and immediately thought "oh my gosh, why did I just say that??" (followed by an internal cringe)?? I've had that experience a lot throughout my life. In fact, earlier this week I had one of those moments and it really got me thinking...
Why are we so afraid to open up and be vulnerable?? What's the cost of sharing ourselves with others? What's the benefit of it? Those are just a few questions I answer in this episode!
I also share a strategy I use to help me feel less afraid, and more willing to share and connect with others.
Building strong, supportive relationships is one of the most powerful ways to boost your happiness, health, and productivity! I highly recommend you give this episode a listen so you can start building strong relationships today.

I couldn't sleep last night, and I started thinking about an episode of the Bachelor I watched yesterday. One girl was stirring up a LOT of drama in the house, and it made the whole vibe so uncomfortable. When she was called out for being a bully, she denied it and cried because she couldn't believe in "such an accusation".
It made me think about how easy it is for us to create a toxic environment for ourselves and the people around us without even being aware of it.
So in this episode we're talking about the #1 culprit that leaves you feeling stuck, depleted, and defeated.
And of course you know I'm not gonna leave you hanging by just telling you what it is, I'm also gonna give you some actionable tips on how to improve this area of yourself & your life.
I hope this episode is not only eye-opening to you, but that you also take the message away with compassion for yourself and others. None of us are, or ever will be perfect!

"Coach". Does this word make you roll your eyes?? If it does, it might be because you feel bombarded with opposing messages from all types of coaches but you don't quite understand what they do.
I can tell you from experience...coaching is gaining popularity for good reason. If you hire the "right" coach for you, they can help you truly transform yourself in ways you never thought possible.
I've hired coaches for business, health, marketing, and more. And in this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing exactly how coaches can help. More specifically, I'm sharing the ins & outs of my coaching practice, and how exactly I'm able to help YOU.
You'll learn WHY exactly coaching can be impactful, plus what sets me apart from other coaches.
Be sure to listen to the end...I have a special offer for only a select few. Reach out to me on Instagram @laurenmkepler if you're interested in taking advantage of the offer!

Happy New Year!!! Let's talk about motivation.
Now why would I talk about this at the beginning of the year, when your motivation is higher than ever?? Because if you want to stay consistent throughout this entire year, and finally crush those goals you've been setting, you'll need this information.
Because guess what? You'll never reach a point in your life when you feel constantly, highly motivated. Life happens. Stress can kill your motivation.
So what can you do about it?? Be sure to listen to this week's episode if you want to find out how you can catch burnout before it hits, OR rekindle your passion after it's already hit you.
Dive in, and tell me what you think!

Have you ever paid attention to how you speak to yourself?? Sometimes it can be horrifying to realize how mean we are to ourselves! The next question is...would you ever speak to someone else that way?? And unfortunately, sometimes the answer is YES!
Criticizing, gossiping, and talking down to ourselves and others has become such a normalized part of our society. But imagine if we shifted that paradigm?? What kind of world could we create if we chose to speak love and power into ourselves, and those around us??
In this episode I share my thoughts on where our bad habit of negative self-talk stems from, the one realization that helped me transform the way I treated myself, plus some other ideas on how we can start to bring the best out in ourselves and others.
Ready to change the world with me?? Let's do it!

Ever feel like it's your responsibility to make others happy? Or better yet...like it's your responsibility to make sure you don't upset anyone??
I grew up with an amazing mother, who always put everyone else's needs above her own. So what did I learn? To also put everyone else's needs above my own.
Not only that...but I also learned to not "rock the boat", or upset anyone. So I spent a lot of my years walking on eggshells, absorbing everyone else's opinions, and people-pleasing my way through relationships. It's no wonder that I had no idea who I was until my mid-twenties.
And then one day I learned this concept...I don't have to be everything to everyone. I'm allowed to upset people by just being myself, or speaking my mind. And guess what?? Their feelings are their responsibility. Not mine to take on.
When I learned to set boundaries, and stopped spreading myself thin...things changed. I got to discover who I really am. What I believe...what I love...what I don't love...and it was such a liberating experience.
But it can be hard, especially as women, to release the idea that we should be able to "fix", or "save" everyone around us. So on this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing the ways in which lacking boundaries stifles your joy, negatively impacts your health, and holds you back from your biggest dreams. And most importantly...I'm gonna teach you some mindset shifts and tips for detaching.

One of the fears we have when we start to improve ourselves is outgrowing the friendships and the people that mean so much to us. So what do we do when we start to level up in our lives, and the people we love don’t understand?
I share my thoughts on this in this week’s episode of the podcast, plus some tips and advice on how to find and engage with others who force you to level up.
This is a topic I’ve struggled with in the past, and still continue to struggle with...which is exactly why I felt compelled to share my thoughts! I imagine it’s something you’ve struggled with as well, and maybe you’re also looking to build more inspiring and growth-oriented friendships? I’m with you on that!
I’d also love to hear your thoughts on this topic, so please reach out to me on IG @laurenmkepler.

This episode is a bit more strategic than my usual episodes where we talk a lot about feelings (but we will still talk about feelings, of course). This week I'm sharing with you how I plan and execute a successful week.
I share exactly what my morning and evening routines look like, what factors I take into consideration when I plan out my weeks, and more importantly...what a "successful" week even looks like to me.
So if you're interested in living and planning with more intention and leading with heart, then you'll love this episode! And don't forget to grab a free copy of the Ultimate Guide to Achieving a Work/Life Balance (also mentioned in the episode)

Life is full of ups and downs. It's the seasons, and the ebbs and flows that keep us moving forward. Like riding a wave. We LOVE the ups, but we have a hard time embracing the downs.
In this "motivation Monday" episode I'm sharing my experience in feeling down, and overwhelmed. It's something that used to trigger feelings of unworthiness within me, and pull me into a downward spiral.
I've changed my perspective, and learned that my lowest points have taught me the most. I've learned to see them as being beautiful, and even necessary.
If you'd love some inspiration on how you can "embrace the storms" in your life, then you'll love this episode!
Enjoy :)
