Customer Reviews
Beautiful and reflective
I have loved listening to Lauren’s reflections and found myself wanting to just sit and listen and take a moment to breathe and think about the wonders in my own life that are similar to what she’s talking about. It was life-giving.
Please ever cease making this podcast

Really Special
Laurel, you have a quality of storytelling rarely found. The calming timbre of your voice, the content which has brought me to both tears and laughter and even the way you describe a grandmother who was not a great model of grandmother’s and yet love is somehow still found. But it was Life’s Variations which grabbed my heart. I’ve listened to it several times and have passed it on to others. Thank you for sharing your gentle, insightful and precise viewpoint… it is a true blessing.
