Before You Spiral

Before You Spiral is the podcast for the person quietly figuring it out — and the people who love them.I'm Lauren. I'm almost 40, a mom of three, and I'm writing down everything I wish someone had told me before my 20s. Some of it I learned the hard way. Some of it I learned after losing my brother in 2021 and my dad in 2023. All of it is the conversation I wish I'd had at the kitchen table.Here you'll find the unwritten rules of life nobody hands you — honest conversations about self-worth, relationships, work, money, healing, and starting over. The kind of advice you wish someone older had given you. The kind I'm writing down for my kids before I run out of time.
