Today on the Latest: Loren opens up about a terrifying night with her grandmother that forced her to confront one of life’s hardest realities — loving people as they age while still trying to live your own life.

From navigating fear, guilt, faith, and responsibility as a caretaker, to questioning what the “middle point” really looks like, Lauren shares raw, unfiltered thoughts about family, success, and the emotional cost of holding it all together.

On the culture side, Lauren breaks down Mattel’s first-ever autistic Barbie and why representation like this matters for children, adults, and caretakers alike. Plus, Mary J. Blige officially announces her first Las Vegas residency — and Lauren explains why Mary deserves every ounce of this moment.

This episode is about life in real time — messy, beautiful, exhausting, and honest.
