Pivot Pivot Season 1 Mash-Up: When the Mic Gets Personal
Soulful Speaking
What do 14 soulful speakers say when the spotlight softens and the mic gets personal?
In this special bonus episode, we’re mashing up answers from the “Pivot Pivot” lightning round—a series of rapid-fire questions inspired by Bernard Pivot and Inside the Actors Studio. From favorite words to how they hope to be remembered, this mash-up offers a glimpse into the hearts behind the voices.
As I edited, I was struck all over again by just how extraordinary these people are—wisdom, heart, soul, purpose, and presence, all wrapped in breathtaking humanity.
Take a listen. Let their answers stir your own reflections.
And maybe—just maybe—you’ll find yourself smiling (or tearing up) along the way.

From Silence to Service: The Alchemy of Speaking with Giselle Jennaway
Soulful Speaking
Giselle Jennaway’s journey from strenuous avoidance of speaking to using her voice as a tool for deep transformation is nothing short of alchemy.
In this soulful conversation, Lauri and Giselle explore the moments that shaped Giselle’s relationship with her voice - from childhood shutdowns to profound ahas. A series of synchronicities sparked a connection that highlights the transformative power of intention and the magic that happens when we speak in service of those we’re meant to reach. Giselle’s path led her from being silenced in a choir, to dreading the spotlight, to ultimately finding her voice as a multi-talented practitioner and teacher delivering hypnotic, transformational messages.
TAKEAWAYS:
1. Sensations are Tools, Not Obstacles – Instead of fighting the “nerves”, learn to harness them to enhance your presence and connection.
2. Speaking in Service Dissolves Self-Consciousness – When you focus on who you’re meant to reach, fear takes a backseat to purpose.
3. Your Voice Carries a Transmission That’s Beyond Words – The way you speak carries energy that can awaken something powerful in your audience.
4. Rejection is Redirection – Being dismissed from choir at age five didn’t mean Giselle wasn’t meant to use her voice—it meant she was meant to use it differently.
5. That Green Dot is a Portal – When speaking online, imagine the people you’re serving instead of getting lost in the isolation of a camera lens.
6. Live Speaking is Like Improv – Just like in live theater, the most magical moments often come when things go “wrong.”
7. Your People Will Find You – When you speak from alignment, only those who resonate will tune in—everyone else will simply move on.
8. Synchronicity Shapes Your Speaking Path – Trust that the right opportunities, mentors, and audiences will appear at the perfect time.
9. Let Your Voice Do Its Job – Whether through storytelling, coaching, or hypnosis, your voice has a unique power that’s always at play in magical ways.

From Stage Fright to Spotlight: Speaking Through Sensitivity
Soulful Speaking
What happens when a highly sensitive person takes center stage?
In this episode of Soulful Speaking, copywriting soul genius Joanne Homestead shares her journey from a terrified five-year-old clutching a microphone to a confident entrepreneur embracing her authentic voice. Along the way, she invites us into a deeply human exploration of fear, presence, and transformation.
Together, we explore:
- Why some of our earliest speaking experiences leave lasting marks
- How teaching became Joanne’s improv playground
- The hidden challenges (and gifts) of being a highly sensitive speaker
- What to do when the spotlight feels more like an alien abduction
- Why soulful visibility begins with listening to your own needs
This episode is a love letter to the late bloomers, the empathic entrepreneurs, and anyone who's ever wondered if they were “too much” for the stage. You’re not. Your presence is powerful—and your story deserves to be told.
TAKEAWAYS
1. Your speaking journey might begin before you even realize it.
(Joanne’s began at age 5—and not by choice.)
2. Bravery isn’t the absence of nerves; it’s showing up anyway.
3. Empathy for your younger self can be a powerful healing tool.
4. Memorized speeches can shut down connection. Presence invites it in.
5. Teaching is speaking with heart—especially when it’s tailored in the moment.
6. Sensitivity isn’t a weakness—it’s a superpower in speaking and connection.
7. Every classroom, audience, or moment is different. Adaptability is leadership.
8. Soulful self-care looks like breaks, breath, and maybe even fiction books.
9. You don’t have to shout to be heard—you just have to resonate.

Speaking & Writing with Soul: Amy Vogel on Finding Your Voice
Soulful Speaking
How do you find your voice—whether in writing, speaking, or leading? In this episode of Soulful Speaking, I sit down with Amy Vogel, an author and book coach who helps women share their stories and turn their publishing dreams into reality.
Amy’s journey took her from sales to preaching to publishing, and she shares the lessons she’s learned about authentic communication along the way. We dive into relational speaking, overcoming the fear of not having a story to tell, and why embracing imperfection leads to deeper connections.
TAKEAWAYS
- Your story is already inside you. Many people think they don’t have a story worth sharing, but it's often just waiting to be uncovered.
- Speaking and writing are both relational. Whether on stage or on paper, great communication is about connecting with your audience.
- Perfection kills connection. The more we try to be perfect, the less we engage with the people we’re speaking to.
- Your audience is rooting for you. Whether you’re auditioning, giving a talk, or publishing a book, people want you to succeed.
- Set an intention for your audience. Before speaking or writing, ask: What do I want people to experience?
- Be the guide, not the hero. When sharing your story, remember—you’re not Luke Skywalker; you’re Yoda, guiding your audience.
- Creativity is a process, not an instant download. Writing (like speaking) is about discovering clarity through the act of doing.
- Don’t be afraid to have fun. The best speakers and writers allow room for spontaneity and human moments.
- Authenticity is what people remember. More than your words, they remember how you made them feel.
About Amy
Amy Vogel is an author and women's book coach. Her fiction books are themed for feminine empowerment, offering readers a fresh perspective on what it means to be a woman. Through her nonfiction works, she provides practical tools for healing and finding hope. As an entrepreneur and coach, Amy is dedicated to empowering women to share their stories, helping them cast a vision for a better world by turning their publishing dreams into reality.

Soul Suckers Revealed: Speaking Beyond the Static
Soulful Speaking
What if the voice in your head that tells you you're too much—or not enough—isn’t the truth, but a frightened part of you trying to keep you safe?
In this episode, Lauri shines a compassionate light on the “Soul Suckers”—inner critics like the Nervous Nellies, the Controlling Stage Mothers, the Imposter Monsters, and the Below-the-Belt Bastards. With storytelling, warmth, and grounded wisdom, she guides you through recognizing their influence, reclaiming your voice, and using Soulful Speaking tools—Intend, Align, Invite—to let your soul speak instead.
Whether you’ve been holding back in meetings, onstage, or in life, this episode is a call to stop shrinking and start resounding. Because your voice isn’t broken—it’s just been drowned out.
TAKEAWAYS
1. The Soul Suckers all whisper the same core lie: “Not enough.”
2. Ignoring them doesn’t work—in fact, it makes them louder.
3. Soul Suckers convert you into the toy drum version of yourself; your soul was born to play the real drum.
4. Intend, Align, Invite is the antidote: intention clears the static, alignment opens the channel, and invitation allows us to touch others in the way only we can.
5. Each Soul Sucker has a kernel of truth—but it's distorted.
6. Being different is not a flaw. It’s your one-in-eight-billion superpower.
7. The Controlling Stage Mothers steal spontaneity; connection matters more than perfection.
8. Releasing the Soul Suckers doesn’t mean silencing them—it means choosing not to let them drive the bus.
9. When you honor your soul’s voice, cosmic shifts can happen.

Beyond the Mantra: A Deep Dive into Intend, Align, Invite
Soulful Speaking
What does it really mean to speak soulfully when you’re in front of a crowd, feeling the nerves, trying to stay connected?
In this intimate follow-up conversation, Dana Baugh returns with thoughtful questions about the deeper layers of Lauri Smith’s Vocal Presence Path approach to soulful speaking. Together, they revisit the roots of the “Intend, Align, Invite” mantra, unpack its evolution, and explore how it can live not just in your mind—but in your body.
From navigating resistance and inner critics to remembering the aliveness you were born with, this episode is a rich, embodied journey into the heart of speaking. It’s not about memorizing steps—it’s about remembering who you are and letting your voice rise from there.
Whether you’re new to this approach or reconnecting with the roots, this episode highlights the magic that happens when we stop trying to control every detail and start trusting the aliveness in the moment.
TAKEAWAYS
- 3’s are “sticky.”
Grouping content into batches of 3 helps everybody remember—from the speaker to the audience. - Trust yourself and the process (in speaking and in life).
When you do, you unlock a deeper connection with your world. - Stop trying to be a know-it-all.
Less explanation can lead to more connection. - You don’t need to micromanage every detail.
True presence emerges when we allow ourselves to respond rather than control. - Old parts might resist.
As we align our body, breath, and energy, protective parts may push back. That’s part of the process—not a problem. - The way out is through.
Instead of pushing discomfort away, feel it. That’s how we transform sensation into presence and aliveness. - Every breath is a chance to begin again.
If things feel off track, you can pause, breathe, and start again—right there in the moment. - Invite, don’t push.
When we invite others into our energy, our speaking becomes magnetic. - Great speaking is an intimate conversation.
When you listen deeply and trust yourself, you create space for real connection.

Beyond Authenticity (mini-sode)
Soulful Speaking
Authenticity has become the gold standard in public speaking—but what if it’s just the beginning?
In this mini-episode, Lauri explores what lies beyond authenticity: a deeper resonance that moves through body, breath, and voice to transform not just connection, but the room itself.
Soulful speaking goes beyond being seen. It’s about being felt, understood, and unforgettable.
TAKEAWAYS
Authenticity is a doorway to soulful speaking. It’s essential—but it’s only the beginning.
Soulful Speaking lives in the body—it’s about resonance, not just content.
Authenticity alone won’t change the world: True impact happens when a speaker holds space for the audience’s transformation.

Coloring Outside the Lines: Own Your Sparkle with Tina B
Soulful Speaking
What happens when a big-hearted farm girl turns Muppet-inspired porch performances into TED Talks and global keynotes?
Tina B. joins Lauri for a soulful, sparkly conversation on intuition, presence, and the power of letting your full self be seen. From the fifth-grade teacher who believed in her voice, to a Paris keynote gone sideways (and back again), to 30 days of Facebook Lives in her sweats—Tina shares what it really means to speak from your truth—slides or no slides, fear and all.
If you’ve ever dimmed your light, doubted your story, or wondered how to truly connect when you speak, this one’s for you.
TAKEAWAYS
1. Being seen is powerful.
2. Presence trumps perfection every time. You don’t need perfect slides to make an impact.
3. Storytelling is a muscle. No matter where you’re starting, you can train your ability to speak magnetically,
4. Intuition is a superpower. Learning to “yes, and” your own inner voice creates magic - on stage and off!
5. Let go of the need to be impressive. Focus on being interested, not interesting.
6. PowerPoint isn’t Preparation. Soulful speech prep is rooted in energy, intuition, and doing it out loud and on your feet.
7. Magnetism isn’t one size fits all. Your disco ball might be someone else’s white fluffy pillow, and both are beautiful.
8. Comparison is a story that silences. The more we embrace our uniqueness, the more magnetic we become.
9. Magnetism = Heart + Truth + Sparkle. It’s not about being loud, it's about being real.

Called, Not Planned: My Path to Soulful Speaking (mini-sode)
Soulful Speaking
This one’s personal.
In this solo episode, Lauri pulls back the curtain on the winding, unexpected, soul-led path that led to the creation of the Soulful Speaking Immersion and the Speaker Studio.
What started as an urge, a whisper, a “no way,” became a calling she couldn’t ignore—blending theater, coaching, voicework, and entrepreneurship into something entirely her own.
If you’ve ever wondered how to follow your deeper ‘yes’ (even when it doesn’t make sense), this story is for you.
TAKEAWAYS:
1. The Soulful Speaking Immersion wasn’t born from a business plan—it unfolded like a calling.
2. Resistance can be part of the process when something truly matters.
3. Sometimes the best business strategy is listening—really listening—to what wants to emerge.
4. Voicework isn’t about learning something new; it’s about remembering what we came in with as babies.
5. Public speaking rooted in soul can transform lives—starting with your own.
6. The Speaker Studio blends bursts of creative growth with long-term integration to create lasting impact.
7. Presence, not performance, is the key to authentic communication.

Beyond the Mask: From Armor to Aliveness
Soulful Speaking
What happens when the voice you’ve been told you have to use isn’t your own?
Executive coach and organizational change consultant Dana Baugh joins Soulful Speaking to share her journey from corporate leader—where she was encouraged to “man up” and mask her true self—to a more heart-centered, present, and authentic speaker. Her story reveals what can unfold when we follow the quiet voice urging us away from external achievement and toward inner alignment.
Together, we explore what it means to stand at the crossroads between societal expectations and soul truth—between performing who we think we should be and expressing who we truly are.
If you've ever felt like success and fulfillment should be the same thing, but aren’t… if you’ve struggled with feeling like you have to put on a mask to speak… this episode is for you.
Tune in for a soulful conversation about intuition, energy, and the power of showing up as your whole self. Dana’s journey offers both inspiration and grounded, practical wisdom for anyone feeling the disconnect between outer success and inner fulfillment.
TAKEAWAYS
1. Our intuition knows before our mind. When something doesn’t feel right—whether it’s a job, a path, or a speaking style—our inner voice usually notices first. Learning to listen to that quiet inner voice can change everything.
2. Success and fulfillment aren’t the same. We can follow all the rules and still feel like something vital is missing.
3. Embrace the third way. We don’t have to choose between staying silent or wearing a mask that doesn’t fit. There’s a third way to speak—one that honors who we truly are.
4. Presence is the foundation of soulful speaking. When we’re grounded in body, breath, and energy, connection happens naturally.
5. Everything is energy. Whether we’re with horses, people, or an audience—authentic presence and deep connection are felt beyond words.
6. Community matters. Surrounding ourselves with others walking the same path helps us stay aligned with our truth.
7. Simple practices help us return. Movement, nature, and quiet listening bring us back when old patterns creep in—and that’s part of the journey.
8. Speaking is a fu

From Soul Suckers to Sacred Speaking: Inside the Speaker’s Studio (minisode)
Soulful Speaking
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.

Soul Over Strategy: Finding the Aliveness in Speaking
Soulful Speaking
In a special flipped episode, Brian Perry turns the tables and interviews Soulful Speaking host Lauri Smith, diving into her journey of learning to surrender to creativity, let go of control, and serve the moment fully. Together, they explore the magic of playing beyond fear and tuning into the energy of aliveness. Brian highlights Lauri’s personal evolution, from following external formulas to embracing her authentic voice, and her philosophy on speaking from the soul. Lauri shares her insights on how to feel for the “neon lights” vibration in your words, move from tension to ease, and truly embody your message with authenticity. This episode dives deep into how spiritual alignment and creativity can transform public speaking into a powerful tool for self-expression and connection.
TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
- Authenticity is Powerful: Following formulas can stifle what makes you unique. Authenticity allows your true voice to shine.
- Let Your Soul Drive: Putting your soul in the driver’s seat when creating and sharing your message makes you a Soul-Driven Leader.
- Small Groups are Magical: There’s a far more transformative power in small, intimate speaking groups than there is in large, impersonal programs.
- Speaking is a Spiritual Journey: The process of shedding what doesn’t serve you and embracing vulnerability leads to profound growth in both speaking and life.
- Connect and Play: Like acting, speaking is a co-creative process with your audience. They’re your scene partners!
- Choose Service Over Strategy: Prioritize service and purpose over “doing it right” or chasing financial success.
- Presence is Powerful: Tapping into a heightened sense of awareness during performance creates an electric experience for you and your audience.
- Trust the Process: Once you move through the fear you’re free to step into creative flow and play, which is the heart of what engages audiences fully.
- Follow the Aliveness: Tune into what feels "open and alive" versus "shut down" and then play with that energy to unleash your one-of-a-kind radiance.
About Brian From Brian:
I help you claim, live, and share more of your once-in-any-lifetime story. Because living your story matters. (Also, it’s more fun.) I serve as a singer-songwriter, authentic communication coach, and speaker.
My sound lives at the intersection of James Taylor and Bruce Springsteen with Garth Brooks directing traffic. Most days, that looks like me and my guitar telling stories with a few chords and as much truth as we can manage.
Authentic communication coaching helps you feel more like yourself and be more of yourself in the world. Stepping free of the endless masking of adulting. It feels like an act of bravery. Until it’s just obvious.
These days, my customized talks center around embracing uncertainty, the power of curiosity, and living more of your once-in-any-lifetime story.
But enough about me. Let’s talk about you.

Brain Freeze Busters: Stop the Freeze Before it Starts (mini-sode)
Soulful Speaking
Brain freeze doesn’t happen in the moment—it starts long before we step up to the mic. In this mini-sode, Lauri explores how to prevent that icy mental shutdown before it ever takes hold. She dives into the hidden ways we set ourselves up to freeze and how to shift from freeze to flow by setting clear intentions, organizing thoughts effectively, and practicing in a way that builds trust instead of tension. If you’ve ever worried about going blank, this one’s for you.
TAKEAWAYS:
- Your focus shapes your reality – If you fixate on forgetting, you’re more likely to freeze. Shift your attention to presence and connection instead for a more flow-filled experience.
- Intention is everything – Setting a clear intention for the energy you want to create will help guide your words and ease your nerves.
- Structure and practice build trust – Organizing content in 3s and practicing in a way that builds presence (not rote memorization) helps prevent those “going blank” moments.

From Overthinking to Flow: Unlock Your True Speaking Voice
Soulful Speaking
In this episode of Soulful Speaking, we delve into the transformative power of breath and intention as host Lauri Smith coaches guest Eric Ayers.
Together, they explore how to move beyond imposter syndrome, embrace flow, and tap into the natural energy of authentic communication. Using her Intend, Align, Invite framework, Lauri helps Eric shift from overthinking to fully embodying his message. Through breathwork, energetic alignment, and real-time practice, Eric discovers how to deepen his connection with his audience and speak from his truest self.
If you’ve ever struggled with pausing, trusting your voice, or feeling fully present when speaking, this episode will give you actionable insights to step into your power.
TAKEAWAYS:
1. Speaking is about connection, not perfection. Replace trying to say everything "right" with meeting your audience where they’re at.
2. Trust yourself. Overcome imposter syndrome with a leap of faith. Trust in your knowledge, your energy, and your ability to serve the moment.
3. Your breath fuels your voice. Learning to breathe deeply and naturally can transform your speaking presence.
4. Pauses are powerful. Silence creates space for your audience to absorb your words and connect emotionally.
5. Energetic alignment creates impact. When you center your body, breath, and energy, your voice carries more resonance and ease and touches the audience in a different way.
6. Your five-year-old self knew the truth. Reclaiming the true voice you had as a child can unlock your most radiant speaking style.
7. Set an intention before you speak. Name what you want your audience to feel, then align your presence to embody that energy.
8. Movement and voice are connected. When you release tension in your body, your voice flows more freely.
9. The best speakers don’t "perform" - they show up as themselves. You are enough. You were born enough. Embrace the present moment.

OUCH! How to Go from (Brain) Freeze to Flow
Soulful Speaking
Have you ever experienced a sudden freeze while speaking—where your mind goes completely blank, your mouth won’t move, and panic sets in? That kind of speaking brain freeze mirrors the dreaded popsicle brain freeze from our childhood. In this mini-sode, Lauri dives deep into the subconscious fears that lead us to stop breathing in the first place. She also shares a simple yet powerful way to break free.
TAKEAWAYS
1. Breath leads to inspiration: When we freeze, it's often because we've stopped breathing. Opening your mouth and inhaling air is the quickest way to find your flow again.
2. Trusting the pause can transform your presence: Silence always feels longer for the speaker. The pause that feels endless to you is actually a gift to your audience, allowing them to absorb your message.
3. You are enough: Discomfort in silence often comes from a deeper belief that we need to prove our worth. Your presence alone has value—anything you say simply compliments that inherent worth.

Great Speaking is a Conversation (mini-sode)
Soulful Speaking
Great speaking isn’t a one-sided performance; it’s a dynamic conversation.
In this mini-episode, Lauri dismantles the myth that speaking is a monologue, showing how treating your speech as a shared experience can inspire, empower, and transform. Learn how to connect with your audience on a deeper level, even when standing at a podium or speaking on video. By reframing your mindset and tuning into the audience's non-verbal responses, you’ll create shared experiences that truly resonate.
TAKEAWAYS
1. Great speaking is a two-way street. Reframe your mindset to see even formal speeches as a conversation, not a solo performance.
2. Your audience’s half of the conversation is non-verbal. Tune into facial expressions, body language, and energy shifts to truly connect.
3. Set an intention for your audience. Before speaking, align with your higher self and decide how you want your audience to feel.

In this coaching-focused episode, Lauri works with seasoned creative Emily McGregor, who’s spent 20+ years directing, producing, and leading teams in video sketch comedy and marketing.

8 Billion Paths to Soulful Speaking (mini-sode)
Soulful Speaking
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.

Finding Your Voice: A Journey Through Spiritual Puberty
Soulful Speaking
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
- “Spiritual puberty” is a transformative stage in self-expression, where the soul’s true voice begins to emerge.
- 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.
- The “protector” within often holds back our true selves out of fear of judgment; releasing it allows for more raw and impactful expression.
- Embracing authenticity over performance allows for deeper connections, as people connect with your real self rather than a mask.
- Treat your Soul as CEO and allow your inner critics and protective parts to act as helpers, not decision-makers.
About Nick: Nick Palladino (IG: @nickpalladinoking) is the Co-founder and CEO of Tribe- Fitness, Yoga and Coaching, a San Francisco based wellness company founded on the holistic health philosophy he calls “Complete Health and Wellness.” Tribe is a leading wellness company in the Bay Area focused on inspiring leadership and health in individuals and companies.
