In this episode: I sat down with Lauri Smith, the Soulful Speaking Coach, for a powerful conversation about what it truly means to speak from the heart. We explore how to release protective “masks,” embrace your authentic rebel voice, and connect more deeply with audiences through soulful speaking. Lauri shares how breath, body alignment, and presence can unlock powerful communication, while balancing vulnerability with service allows your message to truly land. Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or someone simply seeking to express yourself more fully, this episode will inspire you to show up, speak up, and shine with confidence.
