Today I’m joined by the one and only Lauren Riihimaki—aka LaurDIY—for a deep, hilarious, and refreshingly honest chat. You’ve seen her build an empire with glue guns and glitter, but in this episode, we go way beyond crafts.Lauren opens up about growing up with anxiety, navigating emetophobia (the fear of vomiting), panic attacks, burnout, and what it’s like trying to stay authentic as an OG YouTuber in a world that rewards perfection.We also talk about therapy, medication journeys, the pressure of being online, marriage dynamics, wedding hacks (yes, really), and how life changes when you stop performing and just start being.If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, emetophobia, or just being a human on the internet—this one’s for you.
