What do you do when life forces you to start over—and you didn’t ask for the reset?

In this episode of The Upgrade with L, we’re talking about the gut-wrenching moments no one prepares you for: the unexpected layoff, the breakup you didn’t see coming, the dream that disappeared overnight. This isn’t a glow-up. This is ground zero.

Lauren gets real about the emotional spiral that comes with losing your identity, your plan, and your sense of direction. You’ll hear how to rebuild your life when the timing feels unfair, the silence feels loud, and your self-worth is hanging by a thread.

This episode is for anyone navigating:
•A life reset you didn’t see coming
•Identity loss after a layoff, breakup, or transition
•The quiet grief of starting over
•How to rebuild when you don’t feel ready
•What healing really looks like when the world stops clapping

Whether you’re deep in the wreckage or trying to find your footing again, this conversation will remind you: you’re not behind. You’re being rebuilt. And what you’re becoming is more aligned than anything you’ve lost.
