My friend, Dr. Lauren Cook used to be best known as “The Sunny Girl,” and let me tell you, I’m probably not the only one who needs a lil’ ray of sunshine in this crazy, confusing and turbulent calendar year. This talented and wise gem of a human is a therapist, a speaker and a published author whose main goal is to help other people live according to their values. (Easy pea-sy, slice of carrot cake right?) Way back in the day when I first met Lauren, I picked her brain and she was generous enough to share her beautiful ideas with me. I had to have her on and share her wisdom with her sweet cat purring in the background. SO, in this chat, we discussed defining personal values, decision making, addressing mental health during the pandemic, finding joy during hard times and looking not just at the shades of blue and red… but finding the purple middle ground! I loved it and I hope you will too!
Oh and she’s putting on this wonderful Hearth Conference in Cctober! She compiled a ton of inspirational and healing speakers to share nuggets of wisdom to help you feel cozy and connected on World Mental Health Day which is October 10th and then beyond b/c really every day should be world mental health day nah mean? Tickets start at $48 and you can get them here!
