  • Summary

  • **This episode discusses rape, suicide, and domestic violence. While not explicit, listener discretion is advised**


    Celene Beth sits down with Lauren Weingarten, a credentialed Victim Advocate and Certified Trauma Support Specialist, to discuss her journey from a successful career in TV/Film production to founding the MTMV Community Support Network, a groundbreaking online support community for survivors of trauma and abuse.


    Lauren shares her personal story and insights into the unique challenges faced by survivors in Hollywood, where public scrutiny and victim-blaming can hinder the healing journey and further perpetuate trauma. With her extensive background in trauma advocacy, she highlights the importance of survivor-led initiatives, peer support groups, and creating spaces for both local and global healing.


    Lauren also explores the media’s treatment of high-profile survivors and the nuances of navigating trauma in a public, often exploitative, environment. As a consultant and educator, she continues to work towards enhancing survivor-informed care across various organizations.


    Outside of her advocacy, Lauren enjoys the company of her best friends- her pups Tofu and Donut and has a love for pizza, falafel, and tending to her plants!
