What happens when you age out and never win the crown? Well, that's what Lauren explores on this episode as she kicks off a second mini series.

In this mini series, Lauren connects with women who are about to compete, are competing or have competed and they discuss their experiences, joys, and heartbreaks.

On this episode, Lauren connects with Macy Eminger, a trailblazer in the Miss Oklahoma organization who spent nearly a decade competing. Laughs, tears and so much wisdom make their way into this must-listen mini series kickoff!

Throughout Lauren's year of service as Miss Oklahoma, we'll share adoptions stories from a variety of viewpoints. We kick things off from the two people who know Lauren's story the best: her birth mother Tammi and her adoptive mother Kathy. The trio talk about love, heartache, nerves, joy and eliminating adoption stigma. Tune in to hear Miss O share her story, and the stories of other's as she shares her passion for adoption.

Lauren's life wasn't the only life changed back in June. On this episode, Lauren connects with Miss Oklahoma's Teen 2024, Kynlee Schultheis. The two have already bonded over several road trips (along with some snacks, selfies, and smiles). Kynlee shares your passions on this episode, from dance to inclusion and everything in between. Tune in and hear more about this incredible teen and her plans for her year of service.
