I'm so happy you're here. I'm Lauren Dow, an author and feeler of the big feels who is now giving this whole podcast thing a try. Lauren Dow Talks is a product of the work I’ve been doing through my writing of reinforcing self-love and advocating for mental health. It’s a safe space to grow, share your story, and simply relate to another human being so you can say, “I’m not alone in feeling this way.” I don’t know what I’m doing, and most of us don’t. But I’d love for us to grow, learn, and feel together. Learn more at laurendow.com and follow me on Instagram @laurendowwrites.
