Episode 41: My Ego Death: Letting Go of Millions
What happens when the version of success you spent years building no longer feels like the life you actually want?
In this deeply vulnerable episode, Lauren shares the ego death she’s been moving through as she releases her attachment to achievement, entrepreneurship, making millions, being “big,” and the identity she built around success.
After years of growing a multi-million-dollar business, building a large online community, launching programs, serving hundreds of clients, and achieving milestones she once believed would make her feel worthy, Lauren began hearing something very different from her body:
I don’t want to work this hard anymore.
This episode is an exploration of what happens when we stop asking, “How much can I hold?” and start asking, “What do I actually want?”
Lauren reflects on the identities she has shed throughout her life—from leaving a marriage, to walking away from a television career, to releasing the business identity that once defined her—and how each death required her to surrender what felt safe before she knew what would come next.
She also opens up about the ancestral patterns of survival and hard work that shaped her relationship with money, the physical toll of constantly striving for more, and the profound realization that perhaps the goal isn’t expanding our nervous system to hold an increasingly demanding life.
Maybe we’re allowed to want less.
Less pressure. Less proving. Less performing. Less attachment.
And more simplicity. More rootedness. More intimacy. More space. More truth.
Lauren shares why she is returning to the heart of her work—trauma healing, somatic experiencing, nervous system regulation, deep one-on-one transformation, and helping people build an unwavering relationship with themselves.
This conversation is for anyone questioning the life they’ve built, feeling exhausted by the pressure to achieve, or standing at the edge of an identity they know they’re ready to release.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do isn’t become more.
It’s trust yourself enough to let something die—and discover who you are without it.
