Finding Your Voice with Lauri Smith

Thomas talks with Lauri Smith, CEO of Voice Matters.  Lauri talks about her bliss of building her life and helping others find their voice, presence beginning where primal and purpose meet, how she learned to take her voice and put it into the written word, society dictating that men are allowed to be angry but not being allowed to be tender and women not allowed to have emotions at all, being an empath and empaths being taught they are “too much” and learning to breathe through emotions and expand energy throughout the room, how to fuel transformation in others, fighting against the label of leader earlier in her life and leading reluctantly, reframing her intentions to find her true path, and how others can find their voice.
