Singing Through the Hard Stuff: Motherhood, Magic, and Midnights with Lauren Paley

 What happens when a viral singer known for hauntingly beautiful Disney ballads shares her unfiltered motherhood journey? You get this gem of an episode. Lauren Berty sits down IRL in Nashville with internet-sensation-turned-mama Lauren Paley—aka the Stairwell Siren—for a tender, hilarious, and deeply validating convo on motherhood, identity, and the magic of Disney cruises. From viral fame to postpartum anxiety, we cover it all (and yes—there’s singing at the end).

In this episode, we talk about:

• How Lauren’s viral stairwell videos turned into a full-blown creative career
• The motherhood magic of their Disney cruise meet-cute
• Why singing in front of 15 million people is less scary than doing karaoke
• Postpartum anxiety, night-time dread, and the myth of “good sleepers”
• Pumping stress, milk freezers, and learning to let go
• What it looks like to parent with intuition (not the internet)
• Social media perfection vs real-life motherhood mess
• How Lauren’s birth unfolded—including the Niagara Falls moment 😳
