In this solo episode of The Homebody Collective, Lauren gets real about the last four years of building Dweller Stage Design — from staging her first listings out of her dad's garage, to a leaky three-bay garage in Lancaster City, to walking away from a toxic business partnership two years ago and building Dweller- Staging & Desgin LLC entirely on her own terms. She opens up about imposter…
After one of the busiest spring real estate markets of my career, I am finally coming up for air — and I'm using this "slower season" to do the work that actually matters: rebuilding systems, resetting boundaries, and getting honest about burnout. In this episode, I'm sharing what it really looked like to run a growing home staging business with a skeleton crew — think six installs and four…
After nearly a year away from my microphone, I'm back — and this time, everything looks a little different. Welcome to The Homebody Collective , the rebrand and evolution of Homebody- The Podcast. In this relaunch episode, I'm sharing the story behind the pivot: why I outgrew my own brand, what it really means to build before you're ready, and why I'm no longer interested in fitting myself into…
In this episode, I'm sharing the hard-earned lessons from her first few years in real estate—the ones no one really talks about.

If you're…
Once upon a time, I let fear and control stop me from telling my story. Not anymore. In this raw and unfiltered episode, I'm sharing the moment I realized fear was the last thread of control—and why I'm finally saying fuck it, hitting publish, and reclaiming my narrative. This isn't just about me. It's about you. About reminding you that fear doesn't get the final say. You do. Sign up for early…
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the messy middle of business growth — that in-between space where you're no longer winging it, but still figuring out the next big leap. I recently sat down with Ari from ASSETS Lancaster to talk through some of the real pain points I've been navigating with Dweller, my staging and design company — hiring, outsourcing, investing back into the…
The moment is finally here — the official cover for my book Unraveled is live, and I couldn't be more excited (and honestly, a little emotional) to share it with you. In this episode of Homebody — The Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on: ✨ The heart behind the Unraveled cover design ✨ Why the book's release date shifted from this summer to this fall ✨ How I'm navigating the fear of being…
This pregnancy has been so different than my first. Harder physically. Heavier emotionally. And let's be honest — running a staging company, selling real estate, and chasing around a four-year-old while pregnant hits different . In this episode, I'm sharing what this season has looked like for me — the real, unfiltered version. From navigating pregnancy with ADHD (without medication), to preparing…
In this episode, I'm talking about one of the hardest but most healing parts of my journey: letting go of the past version of me who settled. The one who kept the peace at her own expense. The one who made herself smaller to feel safe. The one who thought love, success, and stability required her to abandon herself. She got me here — but she's not coming with me. I share how writing this book…
This week, I'm sharing the truth about the patterns I didn't recognize — the ones that quietly shaped how I moved through love, business, and life. Patterns of overgiving. Over-explaining. Over-functioning. Patterns of abandoning myself to avoid conflict, stay liked, or keep someone else comfortable. In this episode, I talk about how these patterns nearly broke me — and how writing this book…
