Lauren Miller chased the dream - a D1 track scholarship to Oregon State. But when the pandemic hit, everything changed. Her performance dipped, school shut down, and she made the hard call to walk away.

Then life got really tough.
No more structure. No team. Just her trying to figure out who she was without the sport.

In this episode, Lauren gets real about what life looked like after school ended. The depression. The loss of identity. The silence no one prepares you for.

But this isn’t just a story about struggle - it’s about rebuilding, finding purpose, and learning how to move forward when life doesn’t go as planned.

If you’ve ever felt lost after a big life shift, you’re not alone, and this story proves it.
