In this deeply moving episode of Courage, Dear Heart, Charli is joined by the courageous and warm-hearted Lauren. 

Together, they explore Lauren’s journey from the depths of anxiety, disassociation, and suicidal thoughts to finding her voice, her power, and a renewed connection with herself and her son.

Lauren openly shares the traumatic early months of motherhood, navigating a complex and misunderstood medical journey with her son Casper, and the profound loneliness she experienced as her inner world began to unravel. 

Through their one-to-one work together and the nurturing space of Charli’s Circle, Lauren began to feel seen, heard, and gently held through her descent.

This episode weaves together themes of:

  • Nervous system education and real-life regulation tools

  • Motherhood and the weight of intuition being dismissed

  • The power of safe connection and community

  • Mental health, medical gaslighting, and reclaiming authority

  • Learning to pause, soften, and live outside the “basement”

  • Humour, swampy moments, and the sacredness of slowing down

Lauren speaks candidly about being a former mental health nurse, the fantasy of madness as an escape, and the slow climb back into life—through breath, presence, and radical self-compassion.

This conversation is both tender and empowering, a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is a way through.

 As Lauren beautifully says, "It wasn’t about fixing me. It was about someone seeing me, sitting with me in the pain, and holding on to hope when I couldn’t."
