Disrupting the Narrative Around Trauma: Lauren Friedman Launches The LFE

LOS ANGELES - April 7, 2025 - PRLog -- Purpose-lead podcast, platform, and healing-centered merch store mark a new era in trauma-informed storytelling and connection.

CTPSD thriver, former AdTech exec, and cultural commentator Lauren Friedman has launched The LFE (Lauren Friedman Experience) — a bold new platform blending trauma, sobriety, and self-reclamation with wit, community, and radical transparency.

With her new purpose-driven podcast (WHY GO Project Pod), the HOW-ARE U HEALING™ revolution , and her purpose-led merch line (MERCH WITH A PURP™), Friedman is reshaping the narrative around healing — democratizing, de-stigmatizing and grounding it in culture, community, and lived experience.

"We've been taught healing has to be clinical, quiet, or a private uphill battle," Friedman shares. "The LFE flips that script. It's louder. It's authentic. It's made for humans, not just hashtags."

The LFE blends humor, music, education, and authenticity  to reframe pain, , build safer spaces, and translate trauma into conversations we can actually have. Without whispering.

The site and platform includes:

• WHY GO Project Pod — a gritty, funny, deeply human podcast featuring the stories we are afraid to  say out loud, but eats us alive until we speak our truth
  
  
• MERCH WITH A PURP™ — accessible, trauma-informed apparel and collab collections with a portion of the proceeds funding the WHY GO Foundation
  
  

Trauma Translator™ Talks  – creating connection through speaking engagement events and workshops sparking a Sic Parvis Magna Moment™

• CONNECTED BY LFE — a global community and collective centered on education, connection, and growth
  
  
• WHY GO Foundation — a nonprofit arm advancing trauma education and access
  
  
• LFE  After Dark  — shedding light upon the Sobriety Spectrum™ and featuring clarity driven tools for navigating the roots of addiction  

With her signature blend of soul purpose and sarcasm, Friedman invites people to move beyond survival and activate Thrival Mode™, whether they're navigating personal transformation, trauma, sobriety or just learning how-to-human — all while challenging the unspoken question:

"How did we get here and how do we move forward? That is the true definition of healing – finding new, healthy ways to solve for old problems through the lens of trauma"

Drawing from her own journey healing almost four decades of complex trauma, sobriety, and lifelong resilience, Lauren translates what hurts into what helps — giving people tools, language, and community to feel seen and supported.
