For the past two months, I’ve been back on the mic with solo episodes. But today marks the first conversation I’m sharing since relaunching Master Your Mind, Business, and Life,  and it only felt right to have it with my longtime mentor of nearly 20 years, Mack Munro.

Mack has worn many hats: retired Navy, management consultant, entrepreneur, and “Boss Builder.” These days, he’s exploring new chapters: r...

This conversation is about the quiet hurts we often overlook, how they live in our bodies, and how we can create redemptive moments in the present. Healing doesn’t always mean erasing what happened—it can mean choosing joy as a way forward.

✨ In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why small “t” traumas linger just as deeply as big ones

  • How our bodies hold onto memories our minds may forget

  • A life mastery tip for transforming quiet...

Today, we’re diving into Mel Robbins’ popular “Let Them” theory. While this concept has resonated with many, I share why it didn’t land the same way for me after reading her book. We’ll unpack both the wisdom and the potential pitfalls of this mindset.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • The heart of the “Let Them” theory and why people love it

  • The toxic side of “letting them” that can look like avoidance or disconnection

  • Spiritual ...

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, we explore the paradox of time:

  • 🧠 The science of time — how our brains and physics reveal its fluid, relative nature

  • 🌌 The spiritual perspective — wisdom traditions that remind us only the present moment is real

  • ⏳ The paradox — how time can feel like both a thief and a teacher

  • 🌱 A simple presence practice to help you anchor yourself in the now

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, Lauren Smith explores the intersection of neurodivergence and social media algorithms. She discusses how ADHD-related content flooding her feed led to reflections on her own lifelong tendencies—such as sensory sensitivities, multitasking habits, and cycles of hyperfocus and fatigue.

Are we tired because we’re actually tired or because our brains are overloaded? Today, I’m diving into decision fatigue, what’s happening in our brain when we feel mentally drained, and why simplifying life might be exactly what we need. I share how growing up with fewer options (hello, TGIF lineup and Nintendo 64 GoldenEye nights) felt simpler, and how life today, despite its convenience, leaves us more isolated and exhausted.

Have you ever heard a song and felt it in your bones? The kind that gives you goosebumps, cracks open your chest, or pulls tears from a place you didn’t know still needed healing?

In this soul-stirring episode, we dive into the unseen power of music — how it moves through the body, awakens memory, and serves as a spiritual tool for healing and reclamation. From the science of frisson (those full-body chills) to the sacred energy o...

Have you ever had a feeling in your gut that you couldn’t explain — but you just knew? That’s intuition. And whether you trust it fully or still second-guess it, the truth is: we all have one.

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, we explore the energy of intuition — what it feels like, how to recognize it, and ways to strengthen the quiet inner voice that always knows the way.

When relationships feel strained, whether it’s with a partner, friend, family member, or even a colleague, it’s easy to spiral into avoidance, defensiveness, or emotional overwhelm. But what if there was a grounded, practical way to move through the chaos and back into connection?

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, Lauren shares a powerful relationship practice called “Meeting at the Table,” a concept introduc...

Ironically, it’s raining out.

Which feels about right... because life has been pouring lately.

In every possible way.

In this unplanned, unpolished episode, I'm showing up right from the middle of the mess. No script. No perfection. Just the honest truth about what happens when you’re tired, overwhelmed, and life won’t let up… and what science says you can actually do about it.

After nearly four years away from the mic, I’m back! And this time, with deeper roots and softer edges.

In this premiere episode of the newly evolved Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, I’m sharing the truth behind my quiet season. This wasn’t just a break. It was a sacred pause...a chapter filled with stillness, depression, identity shifts, and ultimately… a deeper presence with the people I love most.
