In this mini-episode, Lauri explores the non-linear, deeply spiritual journey of speaking. Drawing on her experiences as an actor, theater teacher, and yoga student, she illustrates how growth doesn’t follow a straight line and how every speaker, whether seasoned or new, can honor their unique path. From overcoming bad habits to embracing authenticity, Lauri invites listeners to reconnect with their values and rediscover the magic of presence.
TAKEAWAYS:
Speaking is a Spiritual Path: Growth as a speaker isn’t linear. Your unique journey is “legit”, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional.
Honor Your Journey: A beginner can step directly into authenticity, while seasoned speakers can reconnect with presence and values to avoid stagnation.
Choose Authenticity Over Pizzazz: True connection comes from being genuine, not from relying on experience or perfected techniques.
