Hi, Hello there! I’m Lauren. 🍀

A mother, a writer, a woman learning how to come home to self.

After a lifetime of trauma, abuse, and emotional survival, I’m choosing to stop pretending that healing is linear or that I’m already “on the other side” of it. I am in the storm, I am at the In-Between.

I’m not writing from the end.
I’m writing from MY “in-between”.
Where grief still lingers.
Where joy flickers quietly.
Where I’m learning how to stay with myself.
This isn’t about answers. It’s about staying
when things are unfinished, unspoken, or unraveling.
It’s about healing without a map, but showing up anyway.
This is what Freckled Lore means to me.
Thank you for meeting me here.
