After an unexpected summer of medical emergencies, emotional whiplash, and personal transformation, Lauren LeMunyan — the Spitfire Coach — returns to the mic to share her most raw and powerful episode yet. From navigating her husband’s brain surgery, stroke, and miraculous recovery, to advocating through red tape, caregiving while parenting, and redefining what “self-care” really means, Lauren brings you behind the scenes of surviving crisis in real time.
In this solo reflection, she explores:
The reality of survival mode and the fog of crisis
What to say (and not say) to someone in trauma
How Future Self Design became not just a coaching framework — but a lifeline
The emotional and physical toll of caregiving
Why small acts of presence matter more than ever
If you’ve ever been through a season that shook you to your core, this episode is a must-listen. It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s full of heart. And it just might help you exhale, recalibrate, and remember: even in the muck, there’s still room for magic.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
