Fresh off the Laguna Beach reunion, I’m answering your questions and giving you the behind-the-scenes of what this experience was actually like. We get into everything—from how it really felt walking onto that reunion stage after 20+ years, to where things stand with Lauren, what was cut, what happened off-camera, and why some moments didn’t feel as natural as they looked. We also shift into grief, healing, and what it’s like losing someone you love. I share my experience with my brother, how grief evolves, and the perspective that’s helped me find acceptance and peace.
Plus, I get into balancing all of this with real life: motherhood, work, and how I make everything fit without losing what matters most. Oh, and we even talk about Spencer Pratt running for Mayor!
