At 18, Lauren Sisler experienced the unimaginable: she lost both of her parents in a single day to prescription drug overdoses. As part of our special April series on faith, meaning, and human connection, I sit down with Lauren Sisler, ESPN and SEC Network reporter, former NCAA gymnast, and author of Shatterproof. Known for her vibrant presence on the sidelines, Lauren opens up about the hidden story behind her strength: the sudden, life-altering loss that changed everything. We explore her journey from silence to advocacy, how she learned to carry grief while rediscovering joy, and why faith, vulnerability, and community have been central to her healing. Lauren shares how writing her book helped her piece together the truth and how she now uses her platform to help others own their stories too, both the painful and the powerful. We also dive into: The early dreams she let go of and the new ones that took their place  How she balances motherhood, marriage, and the high demands of sports broadcasting  Her journey of faith, from small-town churches to rediscovering purpose through loss The “sideline shimmy” that became both her anxiety outlet and her signature move  At its heart, Lauren's story is about resilience, identity, and what it means to show up fully, honestly, and with faith, no matter what life brings.

You can reach Jeff at GatheringMV.org or find him on Facebook at The Gathering of the Miami Valley.Hey, y'all! I'm Lauren Sisler. I'm a former collegiate gymnast, an Emmy Award-winning sports broadcaster, ESPN sideline reporter, author, and keynote speaker. Whether I'm on sidelines or on stages, my purpose lies in helping people tell (and love) their stories, live more courageous, resilient lives, and find their own sideline shimmies.However, I didn't always know how to own MY story. As an 18-year-old college student, I lost both of my parents to their hidden battle with prescription drug addiction within hours of each other — and I spent years and years living in the throes of grief, shame, and fear. I was devastated, I was angry, and I was confused… and it took a long time to find the courage and strength to stand up again.When I finally learned to fall in love with my own story, I took hold of my shame — a universal feeling we all share — and repurposed it into something meaningful. Most importantly, I learned that I was (and am) shatterproof. And SO ARE YOU. Now, when I'm not reporting live from the sidelines, I'm taking the stage as a keynote speaker who helps others fall in love with their stories, harness their authenticity, and revolutionize their approach to life by leading with purpose.

She's vulnerable in this conversation; she's willing to share her full self with all of us, and that's what really makes this a really unique conversation. I think you're going to find Lauren to be joyful, she is upbeat, but she is also not going to sugarcoat some of the things that she has struggled with and some of the challenges she's faced in her life. And so, this is a conversation about joy, about adversity, about emotion and how we handle emotion and our relationship with our emotions, so it covers the full range of the life experience. Lauren had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “That was one of the hardest things for me: the milestones that had been missed over the years” (10:00). “I had this indescribable love for my parents. And that love has continued to grow since they passed” (10:40). “I feel very fortunate for 18 years of my life to have parents that loved so deeply, unconditional love” (15:00). “I want to be so transparent with my son because I do believe that transparency and vulnerability is huge” (16:25). “Lessons can be learned in the way that we navigate life, navigate our experiences” (17:35). “While I can take some things from my parents, it doesn't have to be all-or-nothing” (18:10). “Time is fleeting. Time is non-refundable” (21:50). “I've been given this gift of perspective and realizing that, literally, we have this moment in time, and we have to lean into it and grab it and embrace it” (23:10). “Now those milestones aren't so much of [my parents] not being here, it's celebrating all the memories of them and also the new memories that have been created since they've left us” (24:35). “No matter how hard you work to make someone happy, it's not your responsibility to determine what the end result will be and their response to it” (27:35). “The healing process and everything we go through is not linear” (31:45). “I will make it my job to make sure [my son] understands what addiction is and how it can literally get its claws inside of you and never let go” (36:05). “The shackles of shame were so tight around my wrist” (40:00). “My parents aren't defined by how they died, but by how they lived their lives” (40:20). “I could not face the truth of what was inside those toxicology reports. I was so fearful of what I would see and what I would learn” (41:40). “We are going to continue to experience loss, we are going to continue to experience those struggles” (43:15). “Shame is 1000% going to be woven throughout your life” (44:40). “Fall in love with your story” (45:20). “Instead of running from adversity, you attack it” (46:55). “When I started leaning in, I found purpose in what I do” (47:50). “A lot of times, I was so afraid to speak about how I really felt” (54:50). “We sometimes have to be more of advocates for ourselves” (57:20).

What happens when the people you trust the most hide a secret so devastating it changes the course of your life? Emmy Award-winning ESPN sideline reporter and former college gymnast Lauren Sisler joins us to share her heart-wrenching journey from unimaginable tragedy to resilience and hope. Losing both her parents to a concealed opioid addiction during her freshman year in college, Lauren's story is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit. Lauren opens up about the mental and emotional strategies she employed to cope with her parents' death. From initial denial to ultimate acceptance, she poignantly describes the protective barriers we create for loved ones and the stigmas that often accompany addiction. Her insights provide a valuable perspective on recognizing addiction as an illness rather than a character flaw, and the pivotal role personal stories play in breaking societal barriers. Lauren also takes us back to her teenage years, where her commitment to gymnastics helped her navigate life's challenges. She reflects on the complexities of loving someone struggling with addiction, and how her love for her parents evolved even after their passing.

As a sportscaster and former collegiate gymnast, Lauren is passionate about sports, but even more passionate about telling the stories of the coaches, athletes, and fans who make it more than a game. Her life was not always defined by victories. In 2003 as a freshman at Rutgers University, tragedy struck her world when she unexpectedly lost both parents within hours of each other to their concealed battle with prescription drug addiction. On her journey through grief, Lauren bravely emerged from the shadows of shame, embraced her story, and found hope again. “I carried that shame until I finally realized I wouldn't let the pain I harbored define me, just like it didn't define my parents.” Lauren realized that embracing her story and making peace with it had the power to heal, and she could inspire others to do the same. Through her authenticity and vivid storytelling, Lauren's presentations take listeners on an emotional passage that ignites gratitude and a reimagined purpose in their lives. “Your story is significant.

And she had no idea how any of it had happened We speak with Sisler about that 2003 tragedy, when she was not only hit with the unfathomable news of the deaths of her mom and dad, but the shame she couldn't shake after she learned how they died: from prescription-drug overdoses. It would take her years to break free from what she calls the shackles of that shame, keeping the truth to herself even as she launched a successful career as a sideline reporter for college football and gymnastics on ESPN and the SEC Network. But as she began to share the true story of her parents' deaths, she discovered she could transfer the hope and healing she experienced in facing those hard truths to the audiences that heard her speaking them.

Do you feel enslaved to your past? Does the shame of something you've done or something that's happened to you keep you from living in freedom and sharing your story with others? If so, you are definitely not alone! Today's guest, Lauren Sisler, is a two-time Emmy award-winning ESPN sports broadcaster. Best known for her sideline shimmy, she is also a former college gymnast but her story has not always been easy. Lauren tragically and unexpectedly lost both of her parents within hours of each other to drug addiction - a struggle no one knew they had. For years Lauren struggled to share an authentic, “non sugar-coated” version of her story. Today, in addition to sideline reporting, Lauren is also a motivational speaker who has embraced her story and uses it to help inspire others. From the moment I met Lauren, I not only loved her joy and passion for life but also came to admire her authenticity and ability to so beautifully communicate her story.  I am so excited to introduce you to Lauren today and share her inspiring journey with you. Grab a cup of coffee and join us as we learn how to truly embrace our own authentic stories and ultimately live in the freedom and hope that comes from that place.

Lauren Sisler was a freshman at Rutgers University when learned she had lost her father just hours after she had lost her mother. Having come home to grieve one parent, she was blindsided by the news that the other had died, too. And she had no idea how any of it had happened   This week, we speak with Sisler about that 2003 tragedy, when she was not only hit with the unfathomable news of the deaths of her mom and dad, but the shame she couldn't shake after she learned how they died: from prescription-drug overdoses.   It would take her years to break free from what she calls the shackles of that shame, keeping the truth to herself even as she launched a successful career as a sideline reporter for college football and gymnastics on ESPN and the SEC Network. But as she began to share the true story of her parents' deaths, she discovered she could transfer the hope and healing she experienced in facing those hard truths to the audiences that heard her speaking them.   To learn more about Lauren Sisler, visit www.laurensisler.com   To explore Beyond the Crucible assets, including our free Life of Significance assessment, visit www.beyondthecrucible.com   Have a question or comment?
