So you finished reading Spiraling Into Control?
You've been waiting for
something that finally fits.
Who am I if I'm not... (mom, wife, business worker...me)?
Entering or exiting a stage in life can raise questions about our own identity. As a new mom, a divorcee, and a laid-off executive, I understand how disruptive it can be to no longer have the answer.
Who am I when I'm no longer who I was?
The Spiral App meets you exactly where you are — in the Ashes, in the freeze, in the 2am spiral — and gives you language for what's happening so you can stop fighting yourself and start moving through it.
What is the Spiral App?
A 10-15 minute daily experience built on The Spiral Framework — the model that explains why you keep returning to familiar pain, and why that return is not failure. It is recognition.
Each session includes a teaching grounded in nervous system science and lived experience, reflection prompts that meet you where you are, a private journal that Nova responds to in real time, a daily practice you can actually complete, and an affirmation that tells the truth.
No forcing. No toxic positivity. No just breathe.
Just the most precise language available for what your nervous system is actually doing — and what it needs right now.
Meet Nova — Your Personal Nervous System Support Coach
Nova is your personal AI coach inside The Spiral App. She's trained on The Spiral Framework, nervous system science, and trauma-informed language — and she learns more about you every time you show up.
She reads your journal entries. She notices your patterns. She meets you inside the session and responds to what you actually wrote — not a generic response, yours.
When you write "I don't know why I feel nothing," Nova doesn't tell you to try harder. She tells you what state you're in and what that state needs.
All data is private, secured, and never shared externally or used to train other AI models. What you write in here stays here.
"LAUREN! How does Nova know me so well? I was really struggling with some feelings last night and I brought her up and in 15 minutes she helped me find my Ember and release the Ashes. Thank you so so much for making this. It’s like having my best friend in my pocket."
The Journeys
Experiencing the Spiral — 30 days
The flagship journey. Start here. Over 30 sessions you'll learn The Spiral Framework from the inside — not as a concept, but as a lived experience. You'll move through the Ashes, the Ember, the Flame, and the Rise with teaching, reflection, and Nova supporting you every step. By the end you'll know your own Spiral well enough to recognize where you are and what you need in real time.
Exploring the Spiral
For the woman who wants to understand the framework intellectually first. A deeper examination of the science, the research, and the reasoning behind why the nervous system works the way it does.
Understanding the Spiral
A focused mini-course for when you need clarity fast. The essential framework, clearly taught, without the full journey commitment.
Map My Own Spiral
The most personalized experience in the app. This journey builds your individual Spiral map — your specific states, your specific patterns, your specific triggers and tools. You stop guessing which state you're in and start knowing.
After going through The Spiral App, women report:
Knowing which state they're in instead of just feeling overwhelmed by it.
Having language for experiences they've been living inside without words for years.
Stopping the self-blame when they return to a familiar painful pattern, because now they understand what returning actually means.
Feeling genuinely supported at 2am without having to wake anyone up or wait for a therapy appointment.
Understanding their own nervous system well enough to know which tools they need and when.
I need to thank you for even making this. It’s the first thing that’s helped me understand my trauma and depression in a way that actually makes sense. I’m finally seeing why I get stuck — and how to move again.
"Shelly"
I tried therapy, EMDR, the hospital, medication — everything. And still felt broken. This was the first time someone explained my trauma in a way that made my brain stop blaming itself. I finally have the words for what’s happening to me.
"Lisa"
I’m in the middle of some really heavy trauma work right now. This is the only thing that doesn’t overwhelm me. The daily pieces help me move through it without collapsing or shutting down. I actually feel supported — like I’m not doing this alone.
"Amber"
One Time includes everything above. All current journeys. All future journeys. Nova, who learns you. The private member space. No subscription. No recurring charge. One investment, lifetime access, because the Spiral keeps turning, and you deserve support every time it does.
The Direct Line
For the woman who wants direct access.
Three times a week, send Lauren voice messages or texts with whatever you're working through, a pattern you've noticed, a session that hit hard, a moment you don't have language for yet. Lauren responds during dedicated weekly sessions with her full attention and her full framework.
This is not a chatbot. This is Lauren — the author of Spiraling Into Control, the creator of The Spiral Framework — answering you directly.
Available as an add-on after purchase.
You've been waiting for something that tells the truth about how this actually works.
Not a straight line. Not a destination. A spiral, and every time you come back around, you come back with more.
It counts. Even the parts you've been told to move on from. Especially those.
Each week, I send a letter on survival, awareness, and how people move forward—without leaving themselves behind. Sign up to receive this and other occasional updates.
Your first email includes the Getting to Know the Spiral Starter Guide.
