Hey, I’m Lori. A single dog mom, lover of nature, and PTSD survivor.

For years, I struggled with social isolation, severe depression, crippling anxiety, and clinical burnout. I tried powering through, toughing it out, and being strong only for my symptoms to worsen.

I finally realized that if I was going to get my life back, things needed to change. I learned how to ask for help, set boundaries, and changed my thinking patterns. I removed toxins from my diet, home, and relationships. And, in time, I found my purpose, rediscovered my joy, and was able to reconnect with those I love.

Today, I lead a life filled with hope, meaning, and joy. Even on those tough days, I have a purpose that keeps me moving forward.

If you’re ready get your life back:
- to break free from depression and anxiety
- re-engage with the people and activities around you.
- find joy and meaning in your life
- learn brain hacks to help you focus and achieve your goals.

Then this podcast is for you!
