Lauren is the author of the new book, MAYBE IT’S YOU: Cut the Crap. Face Your Fears. Love Your Life, which has revolutionized the concept of traditional “self-help” through the idea of radical personal accountability, taking a deep-dive look at the patterns and history that are really holding you back. Whether readers want to find love, succeed at work, fix a fractured relationship, or get healthy, MAYBE IT’S YOU will offer a road map to finally get them there. Today we unpack her new book, MAYBE IT'S YOU and so much more. We dive into topics like how Lauren translated her one on one coaching format into her new book Maybe it's You, why most of us are hesitant to get real and do the work, the potential down side to positive psychology, how to address everything you don't want to face and how to do it with a sense of humor, the nature to overcompensate in one area of life to make up lacking in another, the danger of creating a vision for your life without addressing the pain, how to take all areas of your life into consideration, identifying your dream and vision for your life, what we pick up from our parents and how we model that in our relationships, how to dial out traits with honor instead of disgust, and so much more.
