From Soul Suckers to Sacred Speaking: Inside the Speaker’s Studio (minisode)
Manage episode 475854813 series 3589118
Ever feel like your body goes into panic mode when you speak? Like something invisible is whispering “You’re not enough” or “No one cares what you have to say”?
In this special peek inside the Speakers Studio’s Soulful Speaking Immersion, Lauri guides you through the internal voices, habits, and energies that show up when we speak from the soul—and how to meet them with compassion rather than control.
This episode is a gentle, powerful invitation to stop fighting yourself and start trusting the sacredness in your sensations.
TAKEAWAYS
1. The body often responds to speaking like it's a threat—but it can learn a new story.
2. The “soul suckers” (Nervous Nellies, Imposter Monsters, Stage Mothers, and Below the Belt Bastards) are old protectors, not truths.
3. Of course you’re different—you’re one in eight billion. And that’s your magic.
4. Naming what you’re releasing can help you reclaim your voice.
5. Not everyone will vibe with your message—and that’s okay. Speak to the ones who do.
6. Feeling energy and sensation isn’t a flaw—it’s a doorway.
7. Your job isn’t to fake it or fix it, but to hold space for what’s real.
Join me for the next Soulful Speaking Immersion and take this soul-stirring transformative approach to speaking into your body and out into the world.
