Why do some people continue improving long after they've already succeeded?Jonathan Cohen sits down with performance coach and speaker Lauren Johnson to explore the psychology behind elite performance, mental toughness, and long-term resilience.As an advisor to executives, entrepreneurs, and professional athletes, Lauren explains why the best performers never stop refining the fundamentals.

Lauren Johnson has always known she wanted to be a mom — so much so that even nursing school became part of her preparation. When she and her husband found out they were expecting, she felt ready. She knew the checklists, the rhythms, the “what to expect.” She even launched Choose Joy Nursing to walk other moms through pregnancy and postpartum. But nothing could have prepared her for what came next: a rare genetic disorder that led to the loss of their daughter, Lily Ann. In this conversation, Lauren shares with Sadie what it looks like to hold onto joy in the middle of devastating grief — and how she and her husband have reoriented their lives around eternity. Because heaven is better than our very best day here and that's where Lily Ann is. This one will stay with you — in your heart, your faith, and the way you show up for the people you love.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with mental performance coach, keynote speaker, and founder of Lauren Johnson & Co, Lauren Johnson, to explore what it really means to become elite by choice. Lauren shares the pivotal story that shaped her career. After a job opportunity fell through, she found herself working at Starbucks, questioning her direction and waiting for something to change. A blunt interaction with a customer became the turning point. It forced her to recognize that she was waiting for opportunities instead of creating them. From that moment, everything shifted. Lauren began taking ownership of her path, building her own consulting work from the ground up, which eventually led to working with the New York Yankees and some of the highest-performing athletes in the world. At the center of this conversation is a simple but powerful idea. People don't become average because of their ability. They become average because of their actions. Lauren explains how daily decisions shape long-term performance, especially in moments of adversity. She breaks down why high performers don't wait for perfect conditions, how they respond when things don't go as planned, and what it looks like to take full responsibility for your growth. This episode is a direct reminder that elite performance isn't random or reserved for a few. It's built through consistent, intentional decisions over time. You'll Learn: • What "elite by choice" really means and how to apply it daily • Why average results come from average actions, not lack of talent • The moment that can shift you from waiting to taking control • How to respond to adversity instead of backing away from it • Why creating your own opportunities is critical for growth • How small, consistent decisions compound into long-term success • The mindset shift that separates high performers from everyone else Lauren is also a featured speaker at the upcoming Mental Performance Summit, where she'll expand on these ideas and share practical strategies to help you take ownership of your performance and raise your standards.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the woman who, as a child bride, became mother to the boy who would eventually become the first king in the Tudor dynasty. Lady Margaret Beaufort (c1443-1509) was twelve when she married Edmund Tudor, half his age, and gave birth to their son Henry when she was thirteen and Edmund was already dead from the plague. Margaret Beaufort made it her life's work to protect Henry during the Wars of the Roses, which had begun soon before his birth and, as many more obvious successors to the crown died or were killed in the wars, she pivoted to supporting Henry when he became the strongest contender against Richard III. She was to survive Richard III declaring her a traitor and went on to see Henry become Henry VII, the first Tudor king, and herself become the King's Mother. Outliving her son by a few months, she was then to help her grandson Henry VIII succeed and the Tudor dynasty continue.WithJoanna Laynesmith Visiting Research Fellow at the University of ReadingKatherine Lewis Honorary Professor of Medieval History at the University of Lincoln and Research Associate at the University of YorkAndDavid Grummitt Staff Tutor in History at the Open UniversityProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Nathen Amin, The House of Beaufort (Amberley Publishing, 2017)Rachel Delman, 'The Vowesses, the anchoresses, and the aldermen's wives: Lady Margaret Beaufort and the Devout Society of Late Medieval Stamford' (Urban History 49, 2022) David Grummitt, A Short History of the Wars of the Roses (revised edition, Bloomsbury Academic, 2025)Michael Hicks, The Wars of the Roses (Yale University Press, 2010)Lauren Johnson, Margaret Beaufort: Survivor, Rebel, Kingmaker (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2025)Michael K.

Margaret Beaufort was a leading figure in the tumultuous Wars of the Roses and would go on to become the matriarch of the Tudor Dynasty.  Mother to Henry VII and a key player in bringing the Tudors to the throne, was Margaret a manipulative schemer as she has sometimes been portrayed, or instead a resilient survivor of trauma and decades of civil conflict?   To better understand Margaret in the context of her time, Curator Charles Farris is joined by historians Dr Joanna Laynesmith and Lauren Johnson, as they explore the power and perception of this 15th century matriarch.

In my conversation with historian Dr. Lauren Johnson we discussed her biography of Margaret Beaufort, exploring Margaret's complex life, maternal relationships, and political influence during the Wars of the Roses. We delved into Margaret's nurturing nature, her traumatic experiences as a mother, and her significant role in the Tudor dynasty. Lauren also addressed misconceptions about Margaret, highlighting her intelligence and agency in a male-dominated society.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Lady Margaret Beaufort03:27 Introduction and Technical Difficulties05:17 Margaret Beaufort's Relationships and Networks08:11 Maternal Instincts and Early Life of Henry Tudor11:06 Margaret's Role in Political Alliances14:22 The Secret Marriage of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York16:59 Margaret Beaufort's Image and Vowess Attire32:17 The Complexity of Margaret's Wardrobe33:05 Contrasting Appearances: External vs. Internal34:53 Health Implications of Fasting and Mortification36:15 Margaret's Views on Henry's Governance40:04 The Cycle of Joy and Hardship40:56 Margaret's Emotional State in Her Final Years46:52 Challenging Misconceptions about Margaret48:26 A Pivotal Decision: Margaret's Choice Against Richard III51:24 Margaret's Conversation with Richard IIIThank you for listening to this episode, I hope you enjoyed it.

Henry VI became king of England at the age of just nine months old, never knew his father and in many ways never truly grew up. His life was managed by a series of competing and often self-serving councillors. His many mental health issues placed incredible pressure on the court he nominally oversaw and thanks to his eventual overthrow at the hands of Edward, Earl of March, later Edward IV, we think of Henry as a largely inept, useless and pitiful figure, but was he? Well to discuss this fascinating man I am pleased to welcome back Lauren Johnson onto the podcast for a discussion all about him. Lauren's book, Shadow King, the life and death of Henry VI acts as the basis of our conversation.

Henry VI didn't fit the medieval image of masculinity, or that much of a king, either.Who gave sex education to someone of this stature? How did his controversial marriage to the French Margaret of Anjou effect his reputation? And what problems were they facing in the bedroom?Joining Kate today is author and historian Lauren Johnson to help us get to know this misunderstood medieval monarch.This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

She is the woman who started it all, the Tudor dynasty's matriarch, Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII and a truly fascinating figure in her own right. In recent years thanks to historic fiction, she has become a figure of controversy, portrayed as an evil religious zealot, obsessed with getting her son on the throne, but is this interpretation of her in any way accurate? Well today I am thrilled to welcome historian and author Lauren Johnson onto the podcast for the first time. Lauren's upcoming book, Margaret Beaufort, Survivor, Rebel, Kingmaker, is the backbone of this conversation, so join Lauren and I as we explore the life of Margaret Beaufort and smash apart some of the long held beliefs about her life, and life story.

The Painted Crow was one of our first Patreon NPC bonus episodes, now available for all! How did Ramsey / Lincoln end up as the taciturn shopkeeper with more knowledge than patience? Unfortunately, we're about to find out. Something important has gone missing from the Clockwork Child. Skaal, the mystical tracker, is meant to be resting safely in the mural on the back of the store. But he's been taken. If Lincoln / Ramsey hopes to get him back, they'll have to rely on somebody they hoped they'd never have to see again: The mentor that made them who they are today. It's an origin story in retrospect!

If you're trying to trap a god, what do you use as bait? Why, everything, of course. It will take some of the team's finest minds to lure the Star King into a snare, while a completely different set of equally fine minds try to lure his Princes to a battlefield the good guys control. We've got Thinkers, and we've got Bruisers, and everybody has their work cut out for them.

In this week's episode of Red Pill Your Healthcast, Dr. Charlie Faganholz and Lauren Johnson tackle a variety of health-related questions submitted by listeners. We kick off the discussion by addressing how to improve lung health, particularly for children who frequently experience respiratory issues. Lauren emphasizes the importance of assessing the indoor air quality and suggests using air purifiers and testing for mold. Dr. Charlie adds that supporting the immune system with specific supplements like glutathione, vitamin A, and herbal tonics can be beneficial. Next, we delve into the topic of foot fungus and dry, cracked heels, highlighting the connection between systemic fungal issues and localized symptoms. We recommend a combination of antifungal herbs and dietary adjustments to address these concerns effectively. The conversation then shifts to the challenges of discontinuing proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Pepsin, especially for individuals with a history of H. pylori infection and gallbladder removal. We stress the importance of a gradual approach to tapering off PPIs and suggest exploring root causes, including potential food sensitivities and emotional factors. As we wrap up, we discuss preparing for a C-section, emphasizing the need for emotional support and physical preparation through supplements and red light therapy. Finally, we touch on the use of nicotine pouches and the management of gestational diabetes, advocating for home blood sugar monitoring as a practical alternative to traditional testing methods.

When Henry VIII wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, he needed to prove that she was not a virgin when they wed. One woman was key to proving this: Catalina of Motril, Catherine's enslaved servant who was always present in the royal bedroom. Before the divorce, though, what was Catalina's experience like in the heart of the Tudor court? What would it have been like for her, as a person of colour in Tudor England? And did Henry's lawyers ever track her down? Joining Kate today is historian and author Lauren Johnson, to help us get to know Catalina's remarkable story better. This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

After Sam catches you up on her weekend recap living in Austin, Texas. Casual girls night downtown on Friday night and Kygo concert o9n Saturday Night. This week I sit down with my good friend Laurenk.j (as know on instagram). Lauren is such an inspiration to many so I wanted her to come on and share more about her personal life. We start up the conversation in high-school where she had 12 kids in her graduation class. She didn't have a traditional up brining, she hoped around for a few years. Living in 7 different states and is now in Austin, Texas. Which is how we were able to become good friends. Lauren is known on the internet at the moment for being "AI" or "photoshopped" but she is just a girl who works hard and achieves her goals.

A man facing charges in Sunday's drunk driving crash that killed two people and injured nine others at Park Tavern in St. Louis Park is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday afternoon.There are questions surrounding his DWI record. During yesterday's news conference outlining the charges, Hennepin County Attorney Moriarty said it was “hugely problematic” that Steven Bailey still had a driver's license. Bailey had an ignition interlock installed in his car for several years after convictions for drunk driving.The Minnesota Department of Health estimates one in seven Minnesotans has at least one DWI. The national group Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) argues ignition locks and other technology preventing an intoxicated driver from operating their car could help reduce drunken driving deaths. For more on these steps, MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Lauren Johnson, marketing and community engagement manager for MADD's Upper Midwest Region.
