Soulful Speaking

Send Lauri a message

In this powerful episode, Lauri dives deep with Nick Palladino-King, a conscious coach and mentor, exploring the vulnerable journey of finding one's authentic voice. Nick shares his experiences of "spiritual puberty," a process of shedding fear and stepping into deeper self-expression. He opens up about his evolution from an eager, opinionated young teacher to a grounded leader who embraces neutrality and non-judgment, allowing audiences to engage deeply with his message. Together, they uncover how self-doubt, protective patterns, and inner critics (or "soul suckers") can obscure our truth—and how we can courageously navigate through them to let our true selves resonate. This conversation is a reminder of the invisible ripples created when we choose authenticity over performance.
TAKEAWAYS

  1. “Spiritual puberty” is a transformative stage in self-expression, where the soul’s true voice begins to emerge.
  2. When we’re our true selves, we create invisible ripples: an impact that can resonate far beyond what we’re aware of at the time.
  3. The “protector” within often holds back our true selves out of fear of judgment; releasing it allows for more raw and impactful expression.
  4. Embracing authenticity over performance allows for deeper connections, as people connect with your real self rather than a mask.
  5. Treat your Soul as CEO and allow your inner critics and protective parts to act as helpers, not decision-makers.

8 Billion Paths to Soulful Speaking (mini-sode)

Send Lauri a message

In this mini-episode, Lauri explores the non-linear, deeply spiritual journey of speaking. Drawing on her experiences as an actor, theater teacher, and yoga student, she illustrates how growth doesn’t follow a straight line and how every speaker, whether seasoned or new, can honor their unique path. From overcoming bad habits to embracing authenticity, Lauri invites listeners to reconnect with their values and rediscover the magic of presence.
TAKEAWAYS:
Speaking is a Spiritual Path: Growth as a speaker isn’t linear. Your unique journey is “legit”, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional.

Honor Your Journey: A beginner can step directly into authenticity, while seasoned speakers can reconnect with presence and values to avoid stagnation.

Choose Authenticity Over Pizzazz: True connection comes from being genuine, not from relying on experience or perfected techniques.
