    69. The Messy Middle: Why Everything Feels Hard Right Before You Change

    What if the part of your life that feels the most uncomfortable isn't proof you're doing something wrong? What if it's the exact place where you're changing? Lauren sits down with Emily Erb for a raw conversation about the messy middle — the space between who you've been and who you're becoming. The part nobody puts on Instagram. The second-guessing. The negative self-talk. The urge to quit. The what the f**k am I even doing? of it all. They get into nervous system regulation, self-worth, motherhood, learning to tolerate discomfort, why rest can feel harder than pushing through, and the stories we create about ourselves when life doesn't go according to plan. But here's the part we forget: You're already sitting on a mountain of evidence that you can do hard things. And even while you're figuring it all out, you're still allowed to laugh, blast your favorite song, eat the damn peanut butter cup, and find joy right in the middle of the hard shit. Two things can be true. You can be struggling AND growing. You can be scared AND capable. You can be sad AND still experience joy. Maybe you don't need to escape the messy middle. Maybe you need to stop believing it means you're failing. 🎧 Listen if you're navigating a life transition, questioning what's next, working through self-doubt, trying to regulate your nervous system, or becoming a version of yourself you haven't met yet. YES. YOU ARE. And YES. YOU CAN.

    68. Your Life Is Falling Apart. You’re Still Allowed to Have Fun.

    Life can be really f*****g hard without every moment of your life having to feel hard. Somewhere along the way, we learned that struggling is supposed to look like sweatpants, tissues, ice cream, canceled plans, and shutting ourselves away until we magically “get through it.” But what if resilience looks different? In this bonus episode, Lauren talks about finding joy in the middle of the mess, breaking generational patterns around how we experience hard seasons, and refusing to let one painful chapter take the rest of your life hostage. Because sometimes healing looks like doing the deep work. And sometimes it looks like calling your best friend, turning the music up, laughing your ass off, and remembering that you are still in there. You don't have to wait until everything is okay to start living again. And you definitely don't have to feel guilty when happiness finds you in the darkness. Go find your Colleen. 💗 Explore All of Lauren’s Freebies and Coaching Offers Connect with Lauren: Instagram: @thelaurentrout Email: lauren@mindyourmama.org

    67. What If Staying Is Scarier Than Starting Over?

    What happens when the life you worked so hard to build doesn’t fit anymore? The career. The relationship. The friendships. The version of you everyone expects you to keep being. Lauren is in the messy f*****g middle of some big questions herself, and this isn’t an episode from the other side. There’s no perfect ending, five-step plan, or b******t promise that making the scary decision will suddenly make everything easy. This is a conversation about what courage actually looks like when you don’t know what happens next. About the cost of staying. The fear of disappointing people. The identities we learned to hide inside. And why the hardest part of changing your life might be believing you’re allowed to want something different in the first place. If you’ve been quietly wondering, “Can I really do this?” This episode is for you. Yes. You are.

    66. She Didn’t Lose Her Sex Drive. Emotional Disconnection Killed Her Desire.

    What if she didn't lose her sex drive? What if it was worn down one disappointment at a time? Today we're talking about sex, emotional safety, resentment, the slow death of desire, and something I call “yes-f*****g”: when someone keeps saying I hear you, I understand, I'll change... and then absolutely nothing changes. This one is personal. It's uncomfortable. And men, you need to hear it too. Not for little ears. 🎧 Explore All of Lauren’s Freebies and Coaching Offers Connect with Lauren: Instagram: @mind.yourmama Email: lauren@mindyourmama.org

    65. The Loneliest Place I've Ever Been Is My Own Marriage

    Lauren gets vulnerable this episode, opening up about something she's kept close to the chest — what it really feels like to feel lonely in marriage, even when nothing "bad" is happening. No cheating. No yelling. Just the quiet, exhausting weight of feeling unseen, unheard, and invisible in your own home. Lauren talks emotional neglect in marriage, the grief of a life that doesn't look how you pictured it, and the impossible in-between of not wanting to stay but not knowing how to leave. If you've ever felt alone next to the person who's supposed to know you best — this one's for you. You are not alone.

    64. Mean Girls Don't Graduate, They Just Become Sideline Moms

    In this episode, Lauren tackles a phenomenon she thought she'd left behind in 8th grade: mean moms. From being frozen out of team moms' nights out to getting the silent treatment on the sidelines, Lauren shares her own run-ins with grown women acting like they're back in the middle school cafeteria — and why she's done shrinking herself to fit in with people who were never her people. Spoiler: it's not about you. It never was. Find your tribe. Skip the mean girls. Mind your mama.

    63. Everyone's Your Village Until Your Kid Screws Up

    In this episode, Lauren finally tells the story she softened nine weeks ago — because she was too raw, too angry, and honestly too scared of what people would think. They smiled in her face. Called her family. Told her, "Don't worry, Mrs. Trout, we've got him" — right when her son was at the lowest, most fragile moment of his life. She believed them. She trusted them with the one thing that matters more than anything else to her. Then they threw him away the second he screwed up. This episode, Lauren names names, calls out the double standard nobody wants to admit exists, and shares exactly what it feels like when the "community" you poured years into shows you it was never really there for you at all. Spoiler: it was never about what he did. It was about who they really are. Lauren's not protecting anyone but her own kid anymore.

    62. Sorry I Ghosted You All Summer

    She's back. She's unfiltered. And her water cup is at the center of it all. After 7 weeks off, Lauren returns raw, unscripted, and ready to spill on the summer that did NOT go as planned. Screen-free mornings? Gone. Perfect mom energy? Torched. What's left is one brutally honest story about hitting a wall — and the weird, tiny boundary that changed everything. Spoiler: it involves a water bottle, a wedding, and a realization that hit way too close to home. New mini-episodes dropping all next week. This one's just the warm-up. 🎙️ Explore All of Lauren’s Freebies and Coaching Offers Connect with Lauren: Instagram: @thelaurentrout Email: lauren@mindyourmama.org
