Hey nature lovers – Lauren here, and today’s podcast is a little different. I want to take you behind the scenes of one of the most personal, emotional chapters of my creative journey so far.

This is the story of how I wrote a book, poured my entire soul into it… and then got rejected. Not by a publisher, but by a platform that’s supposed to make self-publishing accessible.

This is the story of Wildly Unplug: A Creative Guide to Reconnect with Nature – and what happened when Amazon KDP said no. And the steps you can take to self-publish your own book!

If you’re writing your own book — or thinking about it — I’d love to hear about it.
Tag me. DM me. You’ve got a cheerleader in me. 💌

And if you want to read Wildly Unplug: A Creative Guide to Reconnect with Nature, it launches on Earth Day, April 22, 2025 — available on Amazon.
