Lauren opens up about parenting a child who struggled within the traditional school system, navigating denial and grief, and eventually building a school grounded in empathy, flexibility and holistic support.

The conversation explores:
Parenting children with diverse learning needs
The emotional impact of educational diagnoses
Why academic performance should not define identity
The role of teachers beyond academics
Building resilience through adversity
Personal growth, grief and reinvention
Books, climbing and finding motivation

This episode is an honest and compassionate discussion about education, humanity and seeing the full child beyond marks and labels.
