Lauren recently published a book called Behind the Facade: A Mental Health Memoir and friends, it’s a must read. We talk about mental health, boundaries, having a community, and so much more.
Lauren’s story is raw and vulnerable and her story is something we can all learn and grow from. It’s a reminder that you never know what’s truly going on behind the facade. It’s a reminder that if you are navigating a mental health journey, you are not alone. It’s also reminder to be gutsy.
