The Scorpion and the Lion

A Love Story

By: Lauren Geertsen

Narrated by: Lauren Geertsen

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.

Story of true courage

Powerful story of courage and overcoming the most insidious of adversaries; our own self doubt. This story is for any and all. We’ve all had encounters with Narcissists and they prey other’s weakness. This book teaches you how to understand their motives more importantly to better understand yourself.

This book is truly a Masterpiece

I found the energy in the content to be captivating, it’s extremely well spoken, I found the message within the content to be powerful. It is a message where the author, through her own experiences, demonstrate how we can take our challenges, our heartaches, our pain, and how it can become our greatest gift. The author also demonstrates how, that which may come packaged as darkness, we can convert to love. If everyone ever wish to be inspired, this is the book. I completed it in two days. I could not put it down. It was truly captivating and encouraging.

Excellent Listen

I loved this book-the vulnerability, accountability, growth, inspiration and truth kept me hooked! Her stories are relatable to most women but a good read for all.

Have you found yourself in a toxic or abusive relationship and thought to yourself, now how did I get here?

This can be your roadmap to understanding, but, more than that, into a life of thriving. In this masterpiece Lauren Geertsen shows you the way, helping you remember who you are and from where you’ve come. Not since Cathy O’Brien’s “Trance Formation of America,” have I seen someone show such divine and eternal courage. This power within this book is one that can prevent immense amounts of suffering from occurring as readers will now have a radar that society had left them without.
