in this (truly, VERY!!) special episode, we had the utmost privilege of interviewing the incredible author and @wordsofwomen founder - lauren martin!!

we've talked about her book 'book of moods' and how much we absolutely ADORE it so many times on this podcast and luckily, lauren didn't disappoint by being just as amazing, insightful (and quote filled) as the book itself.

we talk about:

• ​regret & anxiety - always living in the past and future vs in the present
• ​why women overthink so much!
• ​from being insecure to appreciating our beauty
• ​female friendships & the societal pressures around them
• ​the desire to 'have it all'

& of course, lots and lots of incredible quotes and women!
