Behind the Facade is a solo podcast by Lauren Bartleson. I'm an author and mental health advocate living near Portland, OR with my husband and our Pomeranian-Corgi mix. To be honest, this podcast is just a hobby for me, so it evolves with the seasons. It's currently being used as a monthly coffee date of sorts, where I share what's on my mind, hopefully help someone else feel less alone in the process. Happy listening ✨
