My Story

20250421_135129_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited.png

If we were sitting together over a lukewarm coffee (because… mom life), I’d tell you this first: I see you.
Not in a polite, surface-level way — but in the I’ve lived this way.

​

I’m Lauren — wife to Adam, homeschool mom of three, coffee lover, unapologetic book hoarder, and a woman who once looked all put-together on the outside while feeling completely depleted on the inside.

​

Our family has walked through a lot: deep loss, moving countries, depression, illness, tight finances, and the beautiful chaos of a running a small business and homeschooling. Our journey has been rich and meaningful — but at times, heavy and demanding. Responsibilities in this season were constant, and I felt like I needed to be the one holding things together.

​

Everything shifted for me in early 2024 when I received a cancer diagnosis.


Eighteen months of treatment — including cold UVB sessions where I stood alone in silence with red glasses and far too much time to think — became an unexpected pause that brought everything to the surface.

That season slowed me down in ways I hadn’t chosen — and couldn’t avoid. It gave me space to notice how deeply I had been surviving rather than living.

​

I was overwhelmed, juggling more responsibility than my body and mind could sustain — none of which could be dropped. I was exhausted, depleted, and running on empty. No energy. No joy. Just pushing through and hoping for relief. I longed for space to breathe and a life that felt steadier and more intentional.

​

And maybe that’s where you find yourself too — depleted, stretched thin, quietly longing for a calmer way to live, but too exhausted to know where to begin.

​

I understand, because I started there.

​

My healing began with micro-habits — small, sustainable shifts in sleep, nourishment, movement, mindset, and reducing toxic load. Nothing extreme. No rigid routines. Just simple, realistic changes that slowly rebuilt my capacity, steadied my nervous system, and helped me feel like myself again.

​

Today, drawing on both lived experience and professional training,

I support depleted homeschool mothers in busy, demanding seasons — to do the same. Through health coaching, workshops, and resources, I help moms feel whole again,  restore their capacity, and create simple, sustainable rhythms that work within their real life.​

​

You don’t need a crisis like mine to begin.
You just need a place to start — and someone who truly understands.

​

I’m so glad you’re here.
