And I am so happy to welcome her to the show so you can all meet her, get to know her, and her journey. So here's Lori. Lori, welcome to She's Got the Mic. I am so happy to be talking to you today. So glad to be here.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

It is such a joy, such a privilege.

Lauren Chapnick 2:03

Yes. So for anybody who's meeting you for the first time, can you take us on your journey a little bit and how you came to be the Joy CEO?

SPEAKER_00 2:14

Well, it was quite a journey because there were so many years where I didn't even know what joy was. I didn't know which end was up and which end was down. I spent 25 years in big corporate America, you know, leading teams. I think inherently inside of me was always a lot of ambition to go and to do and to be and to become. And, you know, the dark side of that is that you can get really sidetracked by external validation and the need to keep proving yourself. Um, so I found myself really just aspiring for a title and a position and finding a hard time enjoying the journey until the joint journey got really derailed. And I was working for a really big company. Uh, I was a single mom. I'd just gone through a divorce, and I just hit a crossroads where some things just needed to change. And that was really kind of the evolution of my own personal self-discovery journey. And who was I really outside of this ambition and outside of this, you know, corporate armor, if you will, you know, like hiding behind the the brand of a big corporate company and their logo, but who was I really? And and that's been about a 20-year-long journey.

Lauren Chapnick 3:58

Wow. I think a lot of us overachievers can relate to your story of just wanting more and more and feeling that external validation and letting it drive you more, and then you stop and look around and think, like, who am I really?

Grief, Single Motherhood, Rebuilding Home

SPEAKER_00 4:15

Yeah, who am I really? And and what's really making me happy? Like, yeah, what is it that brings me joy? And so what I found was after a series of, you know, life's events where life got really lifey, you know. So I went through this divorce. I raised these boys, you know, essentially by myself for a long time, seven years. I was a single mom. And then very unexpectedly lost my mom. She was, she was young, she was vibrant and beautiful. And, you know, and then trying to like rebuild a life on my own without her, you know, kind of reconfiguring my own family of origin. And just, you know, what was it on the other side of it all? And it was really doing that kind of internal excavation about what were the things that I valued, what were the things that I was taking from, you know, kind of the way I grew up, the way I was raised, and how could I bring them into where I was at this point in time. And one of those in particular was, you know, so much of my adult life revolved around going back home to my family of origin, where I grew up and family events. And after my mom passed, you know, a lot of that went away. You know, she was the glue. And you don't really realize that at the time when somebody's alive and well and vibrant, but in their absence, it sure is this huge void. And so I had to make this real decision to create a life here with the people here in New York. You know, I lived in New York, I had I had children, I I remarried, and and so to make traditions, to make memories, to make a solid foundation in my life here um was a really big turning point. And when you get to the other side of that and you see that joy actually lives within you, and it's part of the decisions that you make, it was very profound for me.

COVID Pressure Cooker And Family Wake-Up Call

Lauren Chapnick 6:39

Wow. So what was it that actually made you say, I'm going to leave my job as a corporate VP and start this new business? Like, did something happen? Was it a combination of things? Can you pinpoint how it actually started? And then what work did you have to do on yourself in order to start this coaching business that you are now working on?

SPEAKER_00 7:08

Yes. So it was very much an event. Um, we were in the middle of COVID. I was leading a billion-dollar sales team. Uh life had gotten so chaotic in COVID. Some people sat on and watched Netflix and did Pinterest and did DIY projects on their house during COVID. I did not. Our our business in that I was working on in my corporate life completely blew up. And so I instead of being on a plane every week, I was just in this house working like 60 to 80 hours a week. Um yes, because my team called on supermarkets across the United States. And the supermarket business changed and had such higher demands, and we couldn't keep up. You know, nobody could have ever forecasted for the pandemic. Uh, supply was in such high demand. Uh, we couldn't get transportation to the stores. And so we were just constantly, constantly on meetings and on telephone calls and trying to figure out the logistics of how to get product from warehouses and production facilities to stores. And all that being said, you know, I had two teenage boys, two high school boys at the same time. And so their life just got completely uprooted. One of my oldest son was a senior in high school at the time. Oh no, it was terrible, you know, no senior prom, no senior lacrosse season, no graduation, you know. And the youngest, we had just moved him from a very large public high school to a very small private high school. And two months later, the shutdown came. And so, fast forward to December of 2020, I had just uh gone through like year-end performance reviews with my boss, best performance review of my career, highest bonus I'd ever received. I mean, things were great, but things were not great at home. And my youngest was really struggling. And my oldest came home from school. He had gone off to college and he came home from Thanksgiving that year. And he stayed through New Year's. And so he walked by my office one day and just randomly off the cuff said, uh, hey, mom, what are you doing? Because we saw you more when you traveled every week, and you're right here in the house with us. And it was really like one of those moments of I need to pay attention. And so I got up and I paid attention and I looked around and went into the portal of my younger son's grades, and he was failing everything. And wow, you know, um, it was just one of those moments. And I just I said to my husband, this isn't working. I'm not happy. You know, our youngest isn't happy. I don't know if you're happy. Like I we can't keep at this pace.

Lauren Chapnick 10:27

Yeah.

The Two‑By‑Four Sign And Resignation

SPEAKER_00 10:28

And my husband runs his own company, and he said, Well, there's only one of us that can really make a change, and that would be you. And what do you think about that? And I said, I think it's time for me to consider that. So I went out on the front yard and I asked the universe for a sign, and I asked for the sign to be so obvious that I couldn't miss it, that it would be like a two by four hitting me, you know, in the head. And that sign came and I it was so obvious that it it just hit me in the head, and I was like, okay, it's time for me to resign. And I did that. And in April of 2021, I resigned and walked away and became a stay-at-home mom for the first time in my life. Yes.

Lauren Chapnick 11:15

Wow. Had you wanted to be a stay-at-home mom before?

SPEAKER_00 11:19

Never. I mean, never. There was not, there was not one cell in my body that ever said, I would really like to be a no, some women, that's their calling. Yeah, that was never my calling. Right. Ever. Right.

Lauren Chapnick 11:31

If you don't mind me asking, what was the sign that the universe gave you?

SPEAKER_00 11:35

So um, glad you asked. My um, my boss and I were really close. He recruited me to come to the company. We had just had a tremendous fiscal year. Um, I had really led the business through a tumultuous time through COVID, got a great review, as I just mentioned. And um, we had gotten some new leadership in our division earlier in 2020. And so it's early December. I have my monthly one-to-one meeting with him. And every month, uh our one-to-ones are the same. Great job, you're doing great. Let's look at this, let's look at that. Okay, go. But in December, after you know, October was best review of your life, November, same thing. December, he says, You're no longer meeting the competencies of the role. Okay, which is a complete 180 of where we've always been. So I asked for some clarification, and you know, like that moment when all you hear is the Charlie Brown teacher. It was like nothing he said made sense. And so with a very bruised ego, I got off the phone, had some tears, tried to understand where this was coming from. And then a couple of days later, it occurred to me, oh my gosh, this is my sign. This is my sign that is such the two by four that I can't ignore it.

Lauren Chapnick 13:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

Yes. And then um what ended up happening was you know, that just allowed me more freedoms than I even expected. They then they offered me a severance package, and as opposed to me just walking away with nothing.

Coaching, Purpose, And Freedom Priorities

Lauren Chapnick 13:38

Right. Okay, great. So then how was the Joy CEO born? Did you think you were going to start your own business? Did you think you were just done working, or how did that come to light?

Building A Business And Early Clients

SPEAKER_00 13:52

No, I I really didn't know what was going to be next, but I did have a chance encounter with an executive coach who had actually come to the company I was at and spoke. And so I hired her. And I just said, listen, here's you know what I'm doing, here's what I'm facing. And she took me through some really great work that was really around dreams and purpose and legacy. And I had really never done anything like that. And I feel like I'm a seeker, like I've always been seeking how to be better and do better and kind of clear my side of the street, or you know, I do therapy, I do some woo stuff, you know, like I'm I'm just into that. And um, but I hadn't done this kind of work. And I'm I was way too young to be retired, but I didn't know really like what was next. But my intuition was telling me that I wasn't really going to sign up for another corporate job, where I there were so many demands on my time and my, you know, what my geography. And so when I really started to think about what mattered to me in this next phase, it was time freedom, financial freedom, and geographic freedom. And so when I got really clear about those three things, then I started to do work around, well, what's unique about me? What do I bring to the table? And if you start to do that kind of work, you start to do a bit of a biography about your experiences, your unique abilities, your things that you've done and accomplished and the things that light you up. And I've always been one to mentor at every company I went to, I started a mentoring program or an employee resource group, or so bringing women together has always been part of my DNA and you know, mentoring specifically. And then, you know, to be able to tie that to being, you know, a high school athlete to a college athlete, to, you know, going to an NCAA suite 16 with my college team, um, and then coaching a high school team after college. So it that all started to come together as I did this work, like and how much I loved that and and helping a team win. And then I took that all through my collaborative um, you know, work in corporate America with with building high-performing teams. And so then it came to be like, I think I might want to do what you do. That's what I said to the coach. I think I could do what you're doing. And she's like, I think you could too. And so I went to Rutgers and got a certification in leadership coaching for organizational performance. And it was tremendous. I met amazing people in my program and I learned a lot. And in fact, I learned so much. I I had the thought, like, I wish I would have done this when I was in my corporate life because I would have been, I would have been a better leader had I had this training. And so um, so that's what led me to coaching. Now, it was much more difficult than I ever anticipated to start my own business. Yeah, I I think the naivete was a gift because I'm not it's it's kind of like having a baby. Had I known how hard it was gonna be, I don't think I would have done it.

Lauren Chapnick 17:41

Nobody would do it.

SPEAKER_00 17:42

No, nobody would do it. So um, so that veil of just complete naivety was a gift.

Lauren Chapnick 17:51

Yes. Oh wow. Well, I'm so glad that you took the plunge and that you did it. How does your life feel different now than it did working in corporate America?

SPEAKER_00 18:03

So, in some ways, it feels more right-sized, and there are days when I would tell you it feels smaller and slower. And there's a part of me that doesn't necessarily appreciate that because there's a part of me that loved the pace and loved the bigness of what I did. You know, I I loved getting on a plane, I loved walking into boardrooms, I loved meeting, you know, executives and being part of decisions that were being made that moved the business forward, that were, you know, smart and informed and databased. And so like I loved all of that. Um, you know, to be around smart people who were making smart decisions. On the other hand, I have been really fortunate to be at home and to be really entrenched in my family for the last four years. Like there's nothing that I've missed in the last four years. And that's been a gift, even though my boys are now 22 and 24. You know, um, so there's been a lot of gifts in that. And I'm self-motivated with this ambition to have really been intentional about investing in the in this business so that I've still met incredible people like you because I've put myself out there. You know, I've I've gone to events, I've hired coaches, I've attended conferences, so I've put myself in a stream where, you know, amazing women are and I get to hear what they're thinking and what they're doing and how they're building businesses because it's not easy being new at something. You know, your your brain can kind of reject that and say, danger, danger, you know, what are we doing?

Lauren Chapnick 20:13

Yeah, your brain doesn't want you to feel this uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_00 20:17

No.

Lauren Chapnick 20:17

How did you get your first few clients? I know starting out as a coach is is difficult, as you said. Um, how did you get your first few clients and how do you get clients now?

Why She Coaches Women In Silence

SPEAKER_00 20:29

Yeah, so um first few clients kind of came word of mouth. A couple of them came through my husband's business. You know, he was like, Lori's practicing, she's charging a really low rate. Um, you might want to get her while you can. And um, so it came through that. A couple, like I said, came through just friend network, friends of friends. And but then before you know it, um I found I had a gift. And I found I was really making a difference. And just to be able to share some of those results and to say, you know, I I coached this woman, she she happened to run a marketing team, and here's what she was struggling with, and and here's what we kind of figured out together. And somebody could just identify in with that and say, Wow, I mean, I'm struggling with that too. And so that that really helped, you know, kind of when you can when you can solve a problem and help other people identify in that they also have a similar problem. Because you you coach in a group setting.

Lauren Chapnick 21:48

I do both, yeah. You do one-on-one and group. Yes. So to have them all hear each other's yes, it struggles is I'm sure so rewarding for you. And just the natural progression of your career. I didn't know the athletics portion and the coaching portion that you had. That is you couldn't write it better than that.

SPEAKER_00 22:10

Yes, exactly.

Lauren Chapnick 22:11

That's perfect, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 22:13

It's incredible, exactly. And you know what? What what I think is really important is when I was thinking about the why, why did I want to do this business? I really spent some time on that. And I'm so glad I did because there have been days when I'm like, forget this, forget this whole thing. I'm going back to just a job where I get a paycheck, and you know, I'm important and I go on planes and I do my thing. And when I Settle down and I readjust my nervous system and I go back to the why. The why is really clear. And my why was because I know that there are women who are just suffering in silence. They're carrying this heavy load all by themselves. They're putting on a great face, and they don't know who they can trust. And I know that because I was her for years. And you know, you walk these hallways of these just esteemed companies, and you're smart and you're capable. But on the other side, there's just this garbage. Like life gets lifey and stuff happens, and it's nobody's fault, but it it happens, you know. Marriages don't work out. People die unexpectedly. Hearts get broken. Kids uh that we adore and love go through tough times. And you know, as women, as mothers, as humans, we can just carry that like you know, like a big boulder dragging behind us, you know, 7,000 pounds. And uh, you know, even with our best game face, it's it's tough to show up as your best self.

Speaking As Growth Engine

Lauren Chapnick 24:15

Yeah, 100%. I think that's so relatable. Um, so let's shift gears for a minute and let's turn to speaking. How how has speaking helped you in your business? What has speaking done in your business, whether it's on a stage, on a podcast, or anywhere? How has using your voice helped your business?

SPEAKER_00 24:37

Okay. Well, let me go back to being in the fourth grade and being the commitments, commencement speaker for my fourth grade graduation. Love it. So speaking has always been a part of just my natural way of showing up. I I I do love speaking, it's very much an expression and an art for me. I I do get some butterflies, but I do not get the stage right that many people say is like the most terrifying thing in their life to get it on stage. I do not have that. Um, in fact, I welcome it. And so again, when I did this kind of inventory of, you know, who I am and what I love and what are the things that have always kind of been in my life, that came up as one of them. And so I wanted to do more speaking and I wanted to be really intentional and speaking as a way to just expand who I am as a thought leader, who I am as a human, uh, who I am as somebody that you might say, well, maybe she has gone through some of the things that I'm going through, and it would be worth a coffee chat with her. Whether I hire her as a coach or not, you know, that may be a best friend in waiting. Um, you know. Um, and so speaking has very much become a part of my business model. I had an extraordinary year with speaking in 2025, where I got to speak at Harvard, um, and then I got to speak at some of the largest consumer products and goods companies in the world. And um that's terrific. Yes, and so it's really been wonderful. And so 2026, um, I'll continue to do the same.

Lauren Chapnick 26:34

Yes, that was my question. Are you intentionally seeking more opportunities this year?

Crafting Talks And Continuous Improvement

SPEAKER_00 26:41

Yes, yes. In fact, I've um I've hired somebody to help me with my talks just to make sure that I I'm refining them and I'm clear with them. Um, you know, sometimes I think I am, but I'm not sure from an audience perspective if they are clear. So again, I'm okay hiring a coach. I'm very coachable. So I hired this woman to help me with that. And I'm really excited about where we're going in the direction.

Lauren Chapnick 27:08

I love that. That's so great because I feel like no matter where you are in your speaking career, if you're getting$50,000 for a keynote, you should always be open to being coached and getting better and always learning. That's been my outlook on life, but especially when it comes to speaking.

SPEAKER_00 27:28

Absolutely. And this woman is coaching women who are getting$50,000 for a keynote and she's she's helping them write their talks. And so I was like, well, I have plenty to learn.

Lauren Chapnick 27:38

So that's great, that's awesome. Yeah, I love what you said too about how you just never know who you're going to connect with or who's going to connect with you. That's what I love about the live event experience, is because you just don't know who you're gonna meet and who you're gonna connect with. And you may not necessarily be selling your program to them, but they connect with you and then maybe they tell their best friend about you. That's right. It's just such a great way to really build trust with your audience, and you are so good at it. It was one of my questions for you. Do you have a performing background? Because I've had the pleasure of seeing you speak a few times now, and you seem so natural and so comfortable that it makes sense that your career started in fourth grade. Did you do like theater or anything like that, or you just have always felt comfortable speaking in front of an audience?

SPEAKER_00 28:40

I have I did not have a theater background. In fact, I went to such a small, you know, school system growing up in Maine that I'm not sure we had a theater department until we got to high school. And then in the senior year, there was a play. Um I was part of that senior play, but I um was so busy in other activities that I actually forgot my lines and um made a terrible fool of myself. So um, you know, feel like I'll forever owe an amends to my senior classmates who were so so hard invested in the play. Um, but uh no, no, no theater background. Um just I think I think there's just something natural, like something um a gift. And I and I love it. So speaking.

Lauren Chapnick 29:36

Yeah. And I'm sure did you speak a lot in your corporate life? Yes. I'm sure that was a huge part of it. Yes, I did. Yes, yes. Okay, I have to ask you, how did you come up with the hula hoop analogy that you use in your talks?

The Hula Hoop Framework Explained

SPEAKER_00 29:55

So I am a very visual person, and it's so memorable. I love it. Thank you. Things um things don't make sense for me unless I can see it visually. It's just how my brain works. Um, and one day somebody was talking about circles and like what's in my circle and what's not in my circle, and I I I I don't know. I I think I just connected it to like a hula hoop. And I was like, I was like, so you mean what's in my hula hoop? Like, like here? And they were like, yes, yes, what's in your hula hoop? And I was like, huh. And that just stuck with me, like this very visual notion of Lori, you can only control what they were trying to say was in my circle. And I was like, my hula hoop. And um, and so I've just been working this, you know, theory for a few years now.

Lauren Chapnick 30:55

Right. Okay, so for anybody listening, can you tell them really quick what you do on stage with the hula hoop in permanent?

SPEAKER_00 31:02

So I have this idea that what's in your hula hoop is what you control, and anything outside of it you don't control. Yet we spend the majority of our life trying to control everyone and everything outside of our hula hoop. So when I'm on stage, I bring people up, I have them stand in a hula hoop, and we go through this series of questions and I ask them what's in their hula hoop and they say me, and I say, What do you control inside that's inside the hula hoop? And they say me.

Lauren Chapnick 31:29

And then I we talk through the whole theory and uh yeah, and it's so good, and it's not like kitschy, it's not a gimmick, it is so powerful in its simplicity, and you remember it. And you start out without the hula hoop, and then somebody hands it to you, and it's it's just so good. I love it. So, for the woman listening who is maybe not feeling fulfilled, she's looking for more joy, more fulfillment in her life, but she doesn't quite know where to start. What would you want her to hear if you could say something to her?

Choosing Joy Through Small Decisions

SPEAKER_00 32:07

So I would just want to remind her that joy is within her, one. And so that gives her more power than she thinks she has. You know, oftentimes we're waiting for someone or something else to save us or help us or, you know, come and be our white knight shining armor uh that's gonna save the day. But that's not that's not it. It's us. The joy lives within you. It's yours to just choose. Uh and it takes a mindset shift to get you know, from here to over to here that says, I can I can choose differently. I can choose that joy. Even if something else terrible is going on, I can have a moment of joy in the midst of whatever else might be happening. I can choose some self-care. I can choose to go to bed early tonight. I can choose to get off of social media because it's making me crazy. I can choose to drink extra water today because it it actually makes me feel better. I can choose, you know, to turn the news down. I can choose to go for a walk because it's a sunny day. But there are moments that we can choose, and that that is empowering. And when we can be in the empowering and out of the victim, we start to get back to our true essence. And that shifts a lot. Love it. Yeah.

Lauren Chapnick 33:48

Okay. If you could go back in time and talk to yourself in your very early years of working in corporate, what advice would you tell that version of Lori as Lori today?

SPEAKER_00 34:06

So that version of Flori was so competitive, right? She had just come out of playing athletics and the collegiate level. She was competitive. She would uh I would tell her that she doesn't need to be competitive. And I would also tell her to literally enjoy where her feet are. Yes, I know you want the title, you will get there, but enjoy the journey. That's what I would tell her. There was there was a moment when I literally had just gotten handed a promotion, and my brain said, okay, when's the next one?

SPEAKER_02 34:50

Yeah.

Advice To Her Younger Achiever

SPEAKER_00 34:52

I mean, that's the extreme I took ambition to. Like I I wasn't even in the job yet, 24 hours, and I was thinking about the next job. So yeah.

Lauren Chapnick 35:06

I can relate to that. I am um what they call a hyperachiever. I've even named that part of myself with my coach so that I can recognize her when she comes out. I love that. Yeah, her name is Becky.

SPEAKER_00 35:23

Becky. Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt.

Lauren Chapnick 35:28

Yes, yes, Becky. Yeah, so Becky, yeah, hyperachiever. I think that is so relatable to just powerful, strong, high achieving women. I think that's just a quality that we share in and it comes out in different ways. I was always really competitive with grades too in all growing up, but especially in nursing school. It was ridiculous.

SPEAKER_00 35:54

You're gonna show them.

Lauren Chapnick 35:56

Yeah, really. So, Lori, where can people find you? And is there anything you would like to offer our audience or promote to our audience?

Resources, The Connect, And Closing

SPEAKER_00 36:07

Yes, you can find me at Lauriepine.com or you know, Instagram um at Laurie Pine, LinkedIn, again, Lori Pine on LinkedIn. And I do have some great freebies on my website. So head over there. There's some great resources. I love a gratitude journal. I feel like gratitude is the you know, the answer to any time that we are stuck in frustration, or um, I'm not going fast enough, or our my ambition is stalled. I whenever I can be grateful, that just seems to solve all of that craziness that I get myself into, a really good gratitude practice. And then one of the things that I am so excited about in my business right now is I have formed a community of women who have come together. It's called the Connect. It's a group coaching program. It lasts for six months, and I currently am accepting a wait list. So again, you can find more on the connect on all my socials. Um, yes, I started it in November and it sold out in 48 hours. So there is a very high demand for women who want to be in community with other amazing women and so excited about that.

Lauren Chapnick 37:27

Yeah. Oh, I'm so happy for you. That is incredible. Anybody who gets to work with you, Lori, is just so lucky and they're in such a great place with you.

SPEAKER_00 37:39

Thank you. Thank you. Yes, I'm very excited about it and just the conversations they're having in the group and the topics. It's been really fun.

Lauren Chapnick 37:47

I can only imagine bringing women together is so powerful, and I'm so glad that you're doing it. It's what you're born to do.
