Episode 7: In this episode, Lauren sits down with Dawn Lester, co-author of What Really Makes You Ill, to explore the profound impact of language on healing and identity. They discuss how the words we use shape our experiences and beliefs, particularly in the context of illness. Dawn shares her personal journey through a cancer diagnosis and emphasizes the importance of mindset, self-ownership, and the power of language in transforming our health narratives. Their discussion also touches on cultural conditioning, victim consciousness, and the need for critical thinking in understanding health and wellness. Ultimately, Dawn and Lauren both advocate for a shift towards empowerment, curiosity, and recognizing the body's innate ability to heal.
