About This Episode
Lauren announces her book Spiraling Into Control releases Friday, March 6, 2026, and shares why this episode differs from the prior four. After turning in the final manuscript, she realized there was more she wanted to say, so she created a 22-episode chapter-by-chapter companion podcast called Read With Me to listen to after each chapter (not an audiobook). She explains how the framework came after living the experience, why “Phoenix Rising” evolved into a spiral model (Ashes, Ember, Flame, Rise), and how the companion show will unpack behind-the-scenes stories and additional nervous system and trauma science while she shares launch details, links, and Instagram Lives on release day.

About The Spiral Podcast
The Spiral Podcast is where the work breathes out loud. Each episode expands what the writing opens — through lived experience, nervous system science, and the kind of conversation that happens at the kitchen table after the kids are asleep. Hosted by Lauren Tobey, author of Spiraling Into Control and creator of The Spiral Framework.
New episodes every Tuesday.
