In this week’s episode, the Lautners are joined by YouTube star Laura Lee for an honest conversation about her journey from a chaotic childhood to building an online empire. Laura opens up about growing up with an alcoholic father, her family’s struggles, and how her sister’s teenage pregnancy led her, her mom, and her sister to leave her dad—only to face severe poverty. She shares how those early challenges fueled her drive to create a better life, from posting her first YouTube videos to moving to California with her now-husband Tyler Williams. Laura reflects on her rise to success, amassing millions of followers and launching her own makeup line. Check back next week for part 2, where Laura dives into how a major public controversy led to one of the lowest points in her life, the court battle to adopt her niece, what she’s most proud of today, and more.
