    218. The Most Important Rule in Our House (And Why You Need It Too)

    If one small mistake can spiral into, “What is wrong with me?”If you replay conversations at night and cringe.If you hold yourself to a standard you would never expect from anyone else… Then this episode is for you.  I’m sharing a new rule we made in our house after my daughter called herself “stupid” for making a simple mistake — and why I believe this might be one of the most important rules you can adopt in your household. Because this isn’t just about being nicer (even though that is important), it’s about so much more than just that.  It’s about identity, the subtle shift from, “I made a mistake” to, “I am the mistake.”And it’s about why shame and negative self-talk do not actually make you better, and can even make things worse.  This might be the rule you didn’t know you needed, for your kids AND yourself.  ****** To book a consult call with me, go to: lowerylifecoaching.com/consultcall

But it’s not. In this episode, we’re talking about what actually happens when you begin to step out of survival mode, not because your life gets easier, but because you start thinking differently inside it.  I’m sharing how survival mode shapes your identity, what it looks like when it starts to loosen its grip, and how to feel like yourself again.

    As a special needs mom, wanting a break can feel complicated. It’s not just about logistics. It’s not just about finding someone “qualified enough.”A lot of the time, it’s the fear underneath it all—the fear of something going wrong, the fear that no one could possibly care for your child the way you do. In this episode, I’m talking about why building a “village” is often less about other people stepping up and more about what’s happening inside you when you even consider asking for help.

    212. How to Actually Change Your Life in 2026

    Most New Year’s plans fail for one simple reason: They ignore your actual life. Resolutions are built on fantasy—who you wish you were, how you hope you’ll feel, what you think should matter. It actually uses your real life as data. What worked last year? What didn’t? What cost you more than it gave you? When it comes to moving your life forward and making the next year better than the last, that data MATTERS. This method I'm sharing helps you set clearer priorities, follow through more on what you say you want to do, and helps you build real do-able momentum. Listen in to learn The Start/ Stop/ Continue Method and how to apply it to your own life, so 2026 can be your best year yet! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram! @lauren_nia_lowery
