Summary

This is a spectacular conversation with Lauren. She starts by BREAKING BIG NEWS WITH ME (yes, she told me first, and it’s so exciting :), then we run through her life and journey... How she got to American Idol, which led her to her incredible Country Music Career with multiple number 1 songs, Dancing with the Stars, and tons of accolades.. Then we deep dive. She shares with me the struggles of fame, especially as a teen and the cruel attacks people made on her and her body. Those painful comments led her to intense body image struggles and bulimia. We connect over this bc I also struggled with bulimia and body image in my younger years. Lauren explains why she finally got honest about it, and how she decided to stop playing perfect and be true to herself and the freedom that has come with that. Lauren’s beauty and talent are breathtaking. But the way she shares her full heart and soul and story, the struggles and the glory, is the kind of role model that young girls all around the world are so desperately needing to see. Lauren is a light that I wish I had known when I was finding my way as a young girl. I have so much respect, admiration and love for Lauren. I can’t wait for you to hear this candid conversation with a true angel and blessing to this earth.
