This one’s personal.
In this solo episode, Lauri pulls back the curtain on the winding, unexpected, soul-led path that led to the creation of the Soulful Speaking Immersion and the Speaker Studio.
What started as an urge, a whisper, a “no way,” became a calling she couldn’t ignore—blending theater, coaching, voicework, and entrepreneurship into something entirely her own.
If you’ve ever wondered how to follow your deeper ‘yes’ (even when it doesn’t make sense), this story is for you.
TAKEAWAYS:
1. The Soulful Speaking Immersion wasn’t born from a business plan—it unfolded like a calling.
2. Resistance can be part of the process when something truly matters.
3. Sometimes the best business strategy is listening—really listening—to what wants to emerge.
4. Voicework isn’t about learning something new; it’s about remembering what we came in with as babies.
5. Public speaking rooted in soul can transform lives—starting with your own.
6. The Speaker Studio blends bursts of creative growth with long-term integration to create lasting impact.
7. Presence, not performance, is the key to authentic communication.
