Lauren Smallcomb grew up the “golden child” at home and in church. When compassion widened and questions came, the role cracked. We get into:
- Golden child vs scapegoat dynamics and why families swap those seats
- Conditional love, estrangement, and the pressure to “get back in line”
- High control religion, missions in Thailand, and leaving the system
- The body keeping the score: hives, chronic symptoms, and slow repair
- Rebuilding through mind body work, movement, breath, and safe love
- Her new book and who it’s for
Work with Lauren and Luke: Flourish Therapy (mind body practice, global)
