In today’s episode I get to talk to my dear friend Lauryn Laszczak, someone I consider a soul sister and an incredible woman that has taught me so much. Lauryn (Laz-check) is a Female Founder and Somatic Business Coach for Women. It is her passion to help conscious leaders redefine what “success” looks and feels like by living a slow and intentional life. She's spent the past 14 years building businesses and guiding women into a deeper exploration of themselves and the impact they’re capable of having through their business and slow living. Lauryn lives a slow, intentional, and meaningful life in Metro Detroit, Michigan with her high school sweetheart turned husband, three children and one angel son.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses infant loss and grief as Lauryn describes her journey through losing her son and learning to heal. 

Here’s what we talk about with Lauryn: 

• The duality of loving your children on Earth while allowing the space and grace to honor and grieve a child that has been lost. 
• How grief and joy can coexist in the same place at the same time and how the losses form who we are as individuals.
• Feelings of shame and guilt many women feel throughout their lives and the ways you can learn to move past those feelings.
• Giving yourself permission to be still and slow down to cultivate intentionality in your life.
• How small mindset shifts and moments of consistent changes can help us to find more love, fun, and freedom in our lives.
• Being still and slowing down can look different for everyone and might include movement, using your voice, or being in certain spaces to enter a place of calm.
• How slow living forces us to protect our energy and allows our children to match the state we are in.
• Modeling and communicating boundaries and needs to your children reinforces caring for yourself as well as teaching them important life lessons.
