I'm Lauren Talbot, founder of space between and a certified somatic breathwork guide.
My work is rooted in a question that has followed me for most of my adult life:
Why have so many of us become strangers to ourselves?
Long before I found breathwork, I was asking that question through a different lens.
For more than twenty years, I worked in animation production, helping lead large creative teams in an industry defined by deadlines, complexity, and an unrelenting pace. It taught me a great deal about storytelling, collaboration, and bringing ideas to life. It also gave me a front-row seat to a culture where productivity becomes the measure of our worth and rest can feel like something we have to earn.
Alongside that career, I found myself searching for a different way of understanding the body. What began as curiosity became years of studying — from yoga and reiki to nutrition, women's health, tea, and eventually somatic breathwork. My own health experiences, and later becoming a mother, only deepened the dive.
Among those practices, breathwork became the one that asked the least of me. It didn't ask me to become someone different or to find the right answer. It invited me to pay attention
Today, it is at the heart of my work because it is one of the simplest, most accessible ways I know to begin building a relationship with ourselves.
about space between
space between grew from the belief that we don't need more advice as much as we need more places to feel and hear ourselves.
I've become less interested in rushing toward certainty, and more interested in what becomes possible when we stay with what's still unfolding.
That's the space between.
We're surrounded by systems that encourage us to look outside ourselves for more answers. Even the wellness industry can be another place that feels extractive — a place to measure ourselves against an ideal.
I'm interested in something different.
I'm interested in practices that strengthen our relationship with our own experience. Practices that cultivate discernment instead of dependence, curiosity instead of certainty, and trust instead of performance.
space between is an invitation to make room for the parts of life that can't be measured or neatly explained.
The more I learn, the less I believe we're strangers to ourselves.
I think we've simply forgotten how to listen.
