In this episode of Beyond Orders, I sit down with Lauren Cecora - a 16-year Air Force spouse, devoted mom of two daughters, homeschool parent, and author of Past-Partum. Lauren opens up about the challenges and triumphs of military family life, from navigating deployments to preparing for her husband’s upcoming retirement after nearly two decades of service.
We dive into her journey through postpartum struggles and how sharing her story in Past-Partum became a lifeline of hope for other mothers. Lauren also shares how faith has grounded her family, why homeschooling has been such a powerful choice for her daughters, and how embracing the 1000 Hours Outside movement has transformed the way her family connects with nature, each other, and themselves.
Lauren’s story is one of reinvention, courage, and intentional living and it’s a reminder that even in seasons of uncertainty, we can choose resilience and purpose.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
