Where wellness becomes a way of being. Reconditioned is the podcast for wellness seekers ready to rise—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Hosted by master holistic health & life coach, wellness expert, speaker, and former wheelchair user Lauren Vaknine, this show cuts through the noise of wellness trends to bring you grounded, integrative and genuine holistic guidance for true, lasting transformation. After healing herself from the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis she’d had since infancy that left her wheelchair-bound by 18, through deep self-study and holistic living, Lauren has made it her mission to help others recondition—to return to their most empowered, vibrant selves. Whether you’re navigating chronic health challenges, raising conscious children, or simply craving a more aligned, fulfilling life, this podcast is your weekly dose of inspiration and actionable insight. Expect expert interviews, solo episodes, and soulful conversations that bridge science, spirituality, and self-mastery. Because wellness isn’t a destination—it’s your foundation for everything.

The UK is ranked #23 in the worldwide education system rankings.
For one of the supposedly most evolved countries in the world, why are we number 23?
I have been fascinated with the idea of holistic education for a decade, ever since a friend gave me a book by Sir Ken Robinson, and told me to listen to his TED talk, “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”. That same friend went on to open a Democratic School, and put me in touch with Ben Kestner, who has created a system within the school he now runs that rivals any of the antiquated “education systems” we in the modern world are aware of.
Discussed:
What constitutes “education”?
Why are more families than ever opting for Unschooling?
Why are our schools failing our children?
How can we change it?
Can the system that currently exists improve, and how do we help that?
Is unschooling for me?
And ... why did I choose to recently choose to move my own son to a different school...
All this and more I speak to Ben about in this HUGELY eye-opening episode.
Whether you’re a parent or not, we all have an obligation to fight for a better, more aligned future for our children, so please make time to listen to this as a way to educate yourself on a new way of thinking.
