The Hidden Cost of Being Convenient: Choosing Yourself Over Survival Patterns with Lauren Hayes

What does it cost you to be "easy to love"? In this emotionally resonant episode of Alignment Recess Live, Tiffany Lauren Jones sits down with transformational speaker Lauren Hayes to unpack the survival patterns women adopt—like people-pleasing, shrinking, and over-functioning—and the silent toll they take on our bodies, businesses, and relationships.

Lauren shares her personal journey from high-functioning self-abandonment to radical self-leadership, revealing how performance and convenience often masquerade as kindness and strength. Together, Tiffany and Lauren explore the emotional labor of being “the strong one,” the deep loneliness that can come with healing, and how to navigate boundaries without guilt. If you're feeling pulled to break free from old patterns and lead from your truth, this episode is your invitation.
