The Aggressive Life with Brian Tome

Shutting Up Shame To Become Shatterproof with Lauren Sisler—ESPN College Football Sideline Reporter

This episode

Award-winning ESPN sideline reporter Lauren Sisler joins Brian Tome on The Aggressive Life to share her powerful journey of resilience. Behind her trademark “sideline shimmy” is a story marked by devastating loss—losing both parents to opioid overdoses within hours of each other. Lauren shares how she learned to shut up shame and rediscover joy after a long healing journey, as well as the inside story behind her viral sideline dances, how college football is changing, and why she admires Coach Nick Saban. If you’ve wrestled with grief, struggled with shame, or wondered if you could find purpose on the other side of pain, Lauren’s story can be the aggressive push forward you need.
