About this listen

A frog decides to carry a scorpion across the river.

Halfway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog.

Why did you sting me? the frog asks, as they both start to drown.

It is my nature, the scorpion replies.

This was Jays favorite story.

After a startling spiritual awakening, Lauren enters a three-year relationship with her healthcare practitioner, Jay. He turns out to be a charming psychopath, hiding secrets deeper and darker than she ever imagined.

Lauren discovers a cover-up leading to the top of the school which employs Jay, providing a perpetual supply of naive prey. She embarks on a fierce journey to unveil the truth about the extensive abuse within her community.

Then, Lauren stands at a crossroads, facing the choice between bitterness or healing. A victim-obsessed culture promises to embrace her, but she accepts a more challenging mission: to turn a scorpions incomprehensible darkness into a resounding love story.

Part whistleblower exposé and part spiritual memoir, Lauren offers a roadmap for radical healing. THE SCORPION AND THE LION is for anyone who has been deeply hurt, and wants to come out not only healed, but resplendent.
