Lauren Drain Talks About Mental Health
Lauren Drain Kagan grew up as a member of the Westboro Baptist Church, which is known for being an evil cult due to their “homophobic picketing.” Her father brought the Instagram influencer and fitness model into the organization when she was 14, but she eventually decided to leave the Church and began focusing on her fitness journey.
The now fitness model has been open about her childhood and her mental health struggles over the years. “I was indoctrinated into the cult as a child but was later banished due to non-conformance. Sent to a motel room with nothing more than a suitcase, I was forbidden from communicating with my siblings and family,” she wrote on her website. “We have not spoken since.”
“I’ve had to rebuild my entire life while looking through the hourglass at the family and friends I once had,” she continued. “Since then, I’ve spoken at universities, conferences, and many other events to help educate the public about the power of hate and brainwashing. I’ve started a charity to help others escape the cult, wrote a book, posed for NOH8, and much more.”
The fitness model concluded by saying, “In short, it doesn’t matter where you are in life or how bad it seems right now; I’m living proof that if you just put one foot in front of the other – you’re moving forward. You’re making progress, however small it may be.”
She also went on to explain how fitness actually saved her, saying, “After several years of constant work, I realized my life was spiraling out of control. I was overworked, overstressed, overweight, sleep deprived, fatigued, and extremely unhappy before I finally decided to take control of my life and get my priorities straight,” she continued to explain. “I wanted to be a healthy, fit, strong, confident woman, actively preventing disease instead of treating everything with pills and medication. I wanted to change my life for the better, and I wanted to help others before they lost control of their health, too.”
Lauren Drain Kagan is now a fitness model, a WBFF bikini pro, a NASM certified personal trainer, and a New York Times Bestselling author for her memoir “Banished: Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church”.
