In this inspiring episode of the Stroket Podcast, Jenny Townsend sits down with therapist and health coach Lauren Balterman to uncover the real work behind building a powerhouse mindset. Lauren opens up about her own transformation—juggling motherhood, business, and trauma recovery—and how she helps women master their mindset, triggers, and health from the inside out.

Lauren shares her daily mindset tactics, explains how gut health connects to emotional well-being, and breaks down cognitive behavioral tools like "thought records" that help her clients become more aware, less reactive, and radically empowered.

If you're a high-achieving woman stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, perfectionism, or emotional burnout—this conversation is your reset button.
