Unbothered: Mastering Self-Improvement

Lauren Francisco

Welcome to our garden. Cozy chats for your spirit.

Unbothered with Lauren Francisco is back for Season 2, filmed in the stillness of a garden. Each episode is paired with a cozy beverage and crafted to reset the nervous system, stop the scroll while feeding the soul, and to anchor the spirit. Being unbothered doesn’t mean cold or numb. It means self-aware, composed, and calm in chaos. Fresh off her debut book Composed: The Art of Directing Your Emotions, Lauren invites you to stop the scroll and step into peace.

Peace Is A Posture
Peace isn’t just for calm moments. It’s a posture.The world may feel like it's falling apart, but you don't have to... Storms will come, but peace can remain your baseline. In this episode, paired with coffee I carried back from a plantation in Bali, we explore what it means to live with peace as a posture: how to protect your heart space, stay anchored when life pulls you in every direction, and stop chasing calm — and instead, become it.

Lifestyle Bowing To Your Spiritual Path
Today’s conversation was paired with a beautiful elderberry fortress tea: ginger, echinacea, apple, hibiscus forward with a fruity flavor and vibrant color. 🍵 We’re talking about a bold truth: Your lifestyle should BOW to your spiritual path. In a world of dopamine hits and fast-paced noise, it’s tempting to let the body or emotions lead BUT true alignment happens when the Spirit leads, the Soul submits, and the Body follows. This one is deep, reflective, and the foundation of what it means to remain unbothered and composed in chaos. Take your time with it, revisit it, and let it anchor you. The next episode will be up in 2 weeks for you to really soak it all in. #StayUnbothered 🎥 Watch the full visual on YouTube Follow on Instagram to participate in polls where YOU have the power to choose the next topic we'll cover!

Reclaiming Rest: Your Essential Pause Button
Today's conversation was paired with the McBride Sisters' Sparkling Brut Rose. We had to choose a bubbly for the last episode of the first season of this pop-up podcast! We’ve been addressing the importance of the journey of self-mastery, self-development, personal growth and becoming 'unbothered' as a result. However what’s often underestimated, but holds immense power in our journey towards becoming the best versions of ourselves is REST. Let's talk about it. Rest is not sleep, and sleep is not rest. It's a bit deeper and needs to be incorporated properly. Beyond individual growth, let's consider the broader impact. Humanity relies on individuals who are well-rested, energized, and inspired. Your well-being is not just about you - it's about your contribution to the world. #StayUnbothered Follow me on⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ to connect! View Video Podcast on⁠⁠ YouTube⁠⁠!

Self-Sabotage: The Art of Getting in Our Own Way
Today’s conversation was paired with the 2018 Aslina Umsasane Red Blend, from the first black female winemaker in South Africa, Ntsiki Biyela. This wine selection pairs perfectly for today’s topic due to her being the epitome of someone who mastered self-improvement and fulfillment, with her tenacity, faith, and hustle pushing her above the rest - while still making some of the best wines in the world, even when the odds were not in her favor. Self-sabotage is holding all of our dreams hostage. The truth is we THINK our way out of receiving our own desires. Let’s break down what happens, how it affects us, and what are some takeaway tools that we can implement immediately. "Self-sabotage might linger, but it will no longer lead." #StayUnbothered Follow me on⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ to participate in polls where YOU have the power to choose the next topic we'll cover!

Creativity Saves Lives, Most Importantly Yours.
Today's conversation was paired with a 2018 Thomas T. Thomas Buster’s Hill Pinot Noir. It's one of the best Pinot Noirs from the States, in my opinion. One of the best wines had to come out of my cellar for one of the most important chats! What is Creativity, and how is it tied into our purpose? Our ideas will either die inside of us or live outside of us. What we put out into the world and how we do it directly affects our self-esteem, mood, and how we will show up in our relationships. Hoarding creativity and ideas will leave you frustrated and overwhelmed. Let's talk about bridging the gap between imagination and reality. #StayUnbothered Follow me on⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ to participate in polls where YOU have the power to choose the next topic we'll cover!

Are You LIVING, or Just Alive?
Today's conversation was paired with a grounding cup of coffee - an easy drinking Latin American blend called Mother Tongue, with tasting notes of creme brûlée and dark chocolate. I love a good pour over! What we think is entertaining us is just distracting us. Your mind, body, and spirit will tell you what it needs, but you have to listen to it. In a society obsessed with consumption, it's more important than ever to detox and unload. Let's talk about the importance of DEEPLY connecting to SELF, and how to access stillness in all things and through all things.

Some of Your Friends are Just Fans
Today's conversation was paired with a beautiful red wine - Kumusha's Pinotage from South Africa. We needed something a little stronger to discuss how to recognize the distinction between a friend, a fan, and an acquaintance. Let's talk about the expectations from each, and I guarantee you that it'll save you from a lot of heartache and heartbreak. #StayUnbothered Follow me on Instagram to participate in polls where YOU have the power to choose the next topic we'll cover!
