Lauren Burnett's story of addiction and recovery comes with two main lessons - the dangerous appeal of drug culture among rebellious young people looking for a tribe to join, and the amazing turnaround that seemingly 'lost' people are capable of.
Imagine starting your teenage years entangled in the dangerous allure of hard drugs, only to find yourself years later as a successful entrepreneur and devoted mother. This episode of 'More Than My Past' brings you the incredible story of Lauren Burnett, who takes us through her tumultuous journey from addiction to recovery.
Hosted by the ever-engaging Jason Flemyng, this conversation digs deep into the gritty reality of Lauren's early life in Jersey and her subsequent move to London's infamous Camden scene, where she rubbed shoulders with icons like Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty. The pull of this lifestyle led to a severe heroin overdose, leaving Lauren with significant health issues and a collapsed lung.
But it was during her lowest point, in a hospital bed learning about Winehouse's death, that Lauren found the strength to turn her life around. Now clean and thriving, Lauren has built a global fashion brand and runs a successful pop-up shop in LA. She also dedicates her time to fostering and adoption work while raising three children.
This episode isn't just about the dark side of addiction; it's about resilience, finding new purpose, and the transformative power of love and community. If you're looking for a story that embodies the spirit of redemption and the importance of second chances, Lauren's tale is a must-listen.
