Navigating family gatherings during the holidays can feel like stepping into a minefield of old dynamics, unspoken tensions, and soul-sucking habits. In this episode of Soulful Speaking, Lauri invites you to explore the voices you use throughout your life - including with those closest to you. Uncover how your different voices impact your presence so you can unleash your true voice. Through personal stories, reflective exercises, and soulful visualizations, Lauri shares tools to help you transform old family patterns by honoring your values. Whether around the holiday table or on the stage, this episode will help you align with your most empowered, authentic self.
TAKEAWAYS:
- Family gatherings are fertile ground for noticing and shifting old speaking patterns that impact every area of our lives, including the stage.
- We may have a different “family voice” from our true voice; recognizing this is the first step to change.
- Our inner child and teenager can influence how we show up with family, often to protect us from past pain or discomfort.
- Releasing our “soul suckers” and inner protectors creates space for our soulful presence.
- Setting an intention rooted in our values can transform family dynamics and foster deeper connection.
- When we integrate our younger selves without allowing them to be in charge of how we show up, our relationship to family transforms.
- Our presence alone can shift the energy in a room, creating an invitation for others to align with our intentions.
