Get the buttons here!From Rock Bottom to Rockerfella: Lauren Burnett's Path to Healing
Now, even, like you know, Five Years on, I still feel like I want to keep that beginners attitude to life, because the minute I start to think I've got it sussed and I know what's going on, that's when I'm headed for trouble, complacency.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and then using that very experience to fuel a creative empire. That's the story of Lauren Burnett, founder of the fashion brand Luella Rockerfella. In this episode of 'Back 2 Life', DJ and broadcaster Milly Chowles dives into Lauren's incredible journey from addiction to entrepreneurship. After a near-death experience left her with life-altering injuries, Lauren found herself at a crossroads. She chose recovery and, in the process, transformed her life in unexpected ways.
Lauren opens up about how she channeled the unconventional business skills she honed during her addiction into creating her brand. It's not your typical 'rags to riches' tale. Instead, it's a raw and real look at the challenges of trying to fix internal pain with external success. Her story is a powerful reminder that true healing comes from within.
Throughout their conversation, Milly and Lauren touch on heavy topics like drug use and suicide, but they also find moments of humor and hope. Lauren's journey isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about embracing creativity as a vital part of her recovery. Her brand caught the eye of a millionaire investor in New York, but the real triumph is in how she rebuilt her self-esteem and found purpose.
This episode is perfect for anyone grappling with addiction, mental health challenges, or simply looking for a story of resilience and transformation. Tune in to hear how Lauren turned her darkest moments into a beacon of light, proving that it's never too late to turn your life around.
