Stop Playing Small: The Habits, Mindset, and Hard Truths for a Breakthrough 2026

What if the only thing standing between you and your breakthrough year… is your comfort zone? In this powerful solo episode, Dr. Lauryn gets radically honest about the habits, mindset shifts, and uncomfortable changes required to create a life, business, and level of health that don’t just look good on a vision board — but actually happen in real life. If you’re tired of feeling stagnant, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same patterns, this episode will wake you up in the best way.

Lauryn dives into the truths most high achievers avoid: why comfort quietly kills momentum, how ceilings form inside us long before they show up in our numbers, and why the body always keeps the score when ambition goes unchecked. She shares her 2026 plan with total transparency — from tightening her health habits after an unexpected AFib diagnosis, to leveling up her business strategy, to grounding her goals in faith and intention. If you're ready for a year that asks more of you (and rewards you for it), this is your roadmap.

Key Takeaways
- Growth requires discomfort — every time. Lauryn breaks down why comfort zones create stagnation, how to identify the real ceilings in your life and business, and what it takes to push through them with intention and clarity.
- Your health is part of your success strategy. After facing a surprising AFib diagnosis, Lauryn shares how stress, ambition, and ignored habits catch up — and why your body will always force changes you don’t willingly make.
- Big goals demand real systems. Learn how to reverse-engineer revenue, plan launches, delegate effectively, and treat your business like a business rather than “fun money.”
- Your relationships and faith must evolve with your ambitions. Lauryn explores how marriage, spirituality, and emotional grounding become non-negotiable when you’re scaling your life in any direction.
