Summary

I uploaded a TikTok about how I'd essentially found myself again after losing myself for two years, and it seemed to hit a nerve with a lot of people. I wanted to go into further detail about my experience in the hopes it would help others get back in touch with themselves, even if the method may be a little unorthodox :)

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to the Mental Makeover podcast. I'm Lauren Curtis. You've probably heard the phrase the grass is always greener on the other side, but I believe it's greener where you water it.
0:12.2	This podcast is here to provide you with meaningful advice from myself and others in order to give your little patch of grass the best chance to grow and flourish.
0:23.2	Hi everyone, it's me. It's been a couple of years. I don't remember the last time I recorded a
0:29.7	podcast, but I have had so many requests to get back into it. I really didn't know how much it
0:34.7	meant to people until I stopped doing it. So, hello.
0:38.0	I've also started to record these episodes on video as well. So it's not going to just be audio
0:42.7	this time. If you would like to watch on YouTube, it's just on my main channel. I thought it's,
0:47.5	I don't know, may as well add it some extra content on YouTube while I'm sitting here talking

0:59.7	to get back into this. I just don't really know what that looks like. The reason I mainly stopped
1:04.5	was because I kind of ran out of things to say. But I do like the idea of people kind of like
1:09.9	writing in or sending in voice notes or
1:11.8	whatever and asking me questions or looking for advice or anything like that. I just like talking
1:16.9	about lots of different things and I feel like this is a really good platform to do so, which is
1:21.2	what has actually brought me here today. I uploaded a TikTok and a little real on Instagram and to be honest I kind of felt a little bit
1:31.2	vulnerable posting it. I wasn't sure if it was a little bit
1:35.0	I don't know. The message I was kind of sending was the opposite of what we're used to hearing
1:41.8	at least as a woman and I'll get into that in a second but I had
1:46.6	an overwhelmingly positive response to it especially on TikTok like I just did not imagine it would go
1:53.5	the way that it did especially considering it was quite a long one and people said they actually
1:59.5	managed to sit through it and listen to it. So
