What does it really take to become the woman God created you to be?

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Ingrid sits down with Lauren to unpack the process of shedding old versions of yourself, walking through pain, healing, identity, and rebirth, and stepping into your true calling.

This episode dives into the uncomfortable but necessary truth:

Growth requires breaking. Healing requires honesty. And transformation requires ownership.

From a bold Instagram DM that started it all, to a conversation about faith, identity, purpose, and personal responsibility, this episode will challenge the way you think about “strength,” success, and what it means to truly live free.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re living beneath your potential—this conversation is for you.

How women unknowingly lose their voice and identity

Why being “strong” can sometimes be self-protection, not healing.
