In this episode, Canadian singer-songwriter Lauren Spencer Smith gets real about the emotional highs and lows behind her new album, The Art of Being a Mess.

She opens up about navigating friendship breakups, staying grounded while living in LA, and why she’s choosing more sleep, less sugar, and a whole lot more intention.

We also dive into online hate, setting boundaries with social media, and how her connection with fans keeps her going. Plus, Lauren shares why she’s passionate about giving back — including her work with Plus1, supporting youth experiencing homelessness and addiction recovery.

It’s a raw, refreshing conversation about growth, self-love, and showing up as your full, messy, beautiful self.
