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.

This week I’m excited to bring you our very first guest interview! I know I’ve been saying that I was going to start bringing guests on...and I meant it. It just took me a while!
Elsie B. is a relationship coach and podcast host who experienced a major wakeup call earlier this year when she discovered that her husband cheated on her. She found out right as we went into quarantine, which gave her plenty of time to reflect on everything that went down and decide on her next steps.
This episode is all about exploring the gray areas of infidelity. Is it an absolute deal breaker? Did Elsie and her husband decide to wake up, or break up? You’ll have to listen to the episode to hear Elsie’s story and find out.
You can connect with Elsie by listening to her podcast, or through Instagram @wakeupelsie.

Buckle up, cuz this episode is JUICY. I start out by sharing the story of when we were first dating...and I asked him if he was less attracted to me because I'd gained weight. He said "yes"...and things spiraled out of control from there. How did we get through it?? Listen to the episode to find out!
In the episode we walk you through the journey of wrestling through the challenges of body image as a couple with the opposite struggle. Me putting on weight too easily, and him struggling to put on weight.
Enjoy this honest conversation where we fully cover the struggles of men and women when it comes to body image, and the intersection created from the contrast.

Now more than ever, it’s important that we learn to think critically and decide where we stand on major issues. But doing so can be really difficult, and in this episode I’ll walk you through the complexities I’ve faced while deciding what I believe and value most.
This is a juicy, raw episode so I highly recommend listening when you’re in somewhat of a good headspace. Here are some of the things I cover:
- How to develop and dig into your beliefs about policies, and people
- How to speak your truth (even when it feels scary)
- How you can release the fear of being different & stand in your power
- Navigating the differences in views from people you really love and respect
- Why it’s important to understand manipulation and dehumanization tactics and learn how to discern between what’s true & what’s not
Buckle up, and enjoy!

I’m writing a book! It’s about the All or Something Living concept. I’m sharing the turning points in my life that led me to becoming a perfectionist (I’m sure you’ll be able to relate to some of my story), plus how the All or Something Lifestyle has helped me overcome striving for perfection in exchange for a more real, authentic life.
In this episode I’ll read the first chapter to you. Here are some of the main points I talk about in chapter 1:
- When and how my 14 year old self decided that her weight determined her worth
- The one secret I held onto with so much shame until I was 25
- What life was like at my thinnest & most fit, and the biggest lesson I learned at that time
- The turning point that led me to give up my “all or nothing” mentality

Just when I thought this year couldn’t get any crazier or more unpredictable...my fiancé Jason and I ended up getting COVID-19 at the exact same time.
I was someone who was skeptical about things all throughout the year. I questioned whether or not the virus was something we should be concerned about...or if masks are effective...and so on. One thing I have done is kept an open mind, and held space and compassion for everyone’s experience.
I imagined I would eventually get The ‘Rona, but I have to admit that I was a little concerned about how it would turn out. In this episode I share exactly what my experience was like. I also talk about how I feel we’ve treated this pandemic as a country, and my thoughts on the President recently contracting COVID. Enjoy!

Raise your hand if you’re a perfectionist, or recovering perfectionist. *Raising my hand*. At this point I consider myself a recovering perfectionist, because it’s a conscious decision I have to make every single day. In this episode I’ll talk about where my chase for perfection began, and where it led me.
In the episode I also share where our perfectionist tendencies usually stem from (can you guess??), and then how you can recover from perfectionism and actually embrace imperfectionism.
If you feel like you’re not good enough, no matter what you do. Or if it’s hard for you to be consistent, or follow through with promises you make to yourself...you’ll get a lot out of this episode.
After you’ve listened, the next step is to grab my free audio training & roadmap that teaches you the 4 steps you can take to begin designing and building the life and business you’ve always dreamed of, but felt like you had to be “perfect” to make it happen...good news...your process gets to be messy! And despite that, you get to continue taking imperfect action and doing your best to learn and grow from each fumble, barrier, and roadblock that comes your way.

Do you sometimes feel unworthy or incapable of getting what you truly desire out of life? There are times when I still struggle with feeling “good enough”...which is why it’s so vital that I have practices in place that keep me focused on my big vision.
Learning to match your energy to the vibration you want to attract is key to building the future you’ve always dreamed of. When you put out positive energy and believe in what’s possible, it’s a powerful form of manifestation.
So what exactly is “manifestation” and the “Law of Attraction”? In this episode, I share my experience with both. I also give a very basic overview of how you can use powerful yet simple practices to become a magnet for everything you want.
If you love the episode, and you want more practical tips to help you go even further...be sure to download my free audio training & roadmap for How to Build the Life & Biz of your Dreams!

Your habits create your reality. Everything that you do each day...no matter how seemingly small & insignificant...adds up over time. So while you may not think that meditating for 5 minutes a day, or drinking wine daily, exercising for 30 minutes, etc. makes a huge difference...it can actually make or break your ability to achieve your goals & desires.
That’s why I feel that habit building is one of the foundational pieces to creating a business and life that is fulfilling & joyful.
In this episode I share with you 5 ways you can use your habits to generate more energy, vibrancy, productivity, and success!
I’ve also included a free guide for you to go along with this episode, so click here for access.
