Have Americans Healed from the Pandemic? | Lauren Noone | Ep 15

What does it mean to be truly healed after a collective crisis? In this episode of Real Unity, host Sienna Mae Heath‬ sits down with Lauren Lou Noone, founder of Rooted Free, to explore the lasting impact of the pandemic, the power of somatic healing practices, and how we can cultivate resilience in an uncertain world.

Lauren’s journey has taken her from teaching horsemanship and leading eco-adventures to supporting families through childbirth and creating transformational retreats on her New Hampshire farm. Through Rooted Free, she helps people reconnect with themselves through trauma-informed plant medicine facilitation, breathwork, Reiki, herbalism, and community-centered healing practices.

Together, Sienna and Lauren discuss whether Americans have truly processed the challenges of recent years, how we might respond differently to future crises, practical ways to regulate the nervous system, and why gardening offers profound lessons about relationships, transformation, and the natural cycles of life and death.
