Amongst the mayhem of my children burning their nachos to a crisp and setting off the fire alarm I load my episode today on how to find wisdom in the mayhem- ah the irony :)
My name is Lauren. I am an Australian single mother of four amazing children. I have energetic twins and two beautiful spiritual, caring girls. In most ways, I feel blessed. But it was not always that way. In 2010 when my marriage ended my life changed in so many ways. At times I felt that I could not go on. I felt sad; I could not sleep and was anxious and lost. I knew that something about the way I saw my world had to change. I learned how to feel happy every day. I learned how to sleep, and I learned how to reduce my anxiety. I stopped allowing others to define my sense of self. I took back my power. I then devoted myself to helping others achieve peace, learn to sleep, and how to feel happy every day.
Do you ever feel lost? Do you ever feel stress, anxiety, or struggle to sleep? I know that I did. After years of feeling loss, experiencing stress, anxiety and struggling at times to sleep I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to help others feel relaxed happy and learn how to sleep.
I am a writer, life coach, meditation/yoga teacher, & ASMRtist. I make ASMR videos, guided meditations, and resources to help with sleep, reduce stress, aid study and promote well-being. I hold an Honours degree in Anthropology and a Masters in Counselling from Monash University, Australia, and have worked as a personal trainer, life coach, speaker, and meditation teacher for many years. I present a podcast called 'Being Well with Lauren' and I have a virtual wellness centre where you can download meditations and resources for happiness, stress reduction, and well-being. In my book Daily Rituals for Happiness, I candidly share my personal experience of loss, childhood bullying, relationship challenges, and the many ups and downs of being a single mum. I try to offer hope, support and practical advice to readers. I love what I do and feel like you as my viewer or listener are my friend.

About my book Daily Rituals for Happiness
Written by Lauren Ostrowski Fenton, Daily Rituals for Happiness is a user-friendly guidebook that teaches readers a step- by-step technique for experiencing happiness every single day. Through insightful exercises in each chapter, readers are encouraged to develop self-awareness and create their rituals, with an emphasis on feeling sensations of comfort, experiencing meaningful engagement, and embracing the rewards which come with planning and achieving realistic goals. The book provides support and encouragement for those who feel lost, lack motivation, and are searching for a straightforward and sustainable method to feel happy every day. Interwoven throughout is the beautiful story of the special relationship between Lauren and her father, Leonard Sergiusz Ostrowski, a Polish World War II survivor who emigrated to Australia, bringing with him his recipe for family, resilience, celebration and being happy.

| 0:00.0 | Hey Lauren here. Today is day 14 in our mind body cleans and that's actually quite |
| 0:06.9 | funny because it was supposed to finish on the 14th of December. But as many of you |
| 0:12.4 | know so many things did not go to plan. And today, today I |
| 0:18.2 | talked to you about wisdom, which is the topic for the 14th day of the mind body cleanse and it is the most important day, |
| 0:29.0 | wisdom, but wisdom is only truly understood once you understand the other days. |
| 0:35.0 | We've talked about forgiveness, we've talked about compassion, we've talked about |
| 0:40.0 | empathy, we've talked about perspective. And while we've done this we've looked at our food |
| 0:46.6 | eating well we've looked at walking every day we've looked at the importance |
| 0:51.2 | for accessible yoga of mobilizing the joints, of being strong, |
| 0:57.2 | because with a strong, mobile, healthy body, the body holds our soul and it is our soul and our consciousness which |

| 1:52.4 | earlier stay up later. |
| 1:54.0 | Well I've got a few words for the people that write those videos and books. |
| 2:00.0 | When you're a m of four, sometimes it just doesn't work that way. It just doesn't. |
