Sometimes, just hearing the words "public speaking" is enough to make your palms sweat and your heart race. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. In fact, 74% of people share this fear. But today, Rachel is excited to bring you an episode that might just change how you see public speaking—and yourself.

Rachel had the pleasure of sitting down with Lori, a dear personal friend and an incredible coach who helps professional women find their voices. Lori has taught Rachel so much about public speaking, and knows she'll bring the same value to you. She specializes in helping women confidently say "yes" when asked to speak, whether in a personal or corporate setting.

Lori’s journey into public speaking wasn’t flawless—her first time speaking was far from perfect. Yet, she views that experience as a crucial step in her growth, showing that even the most successful speakers start somewhere.

Lori’s approach is rooted in positivity and authenticity. She understands that fear is a natural response, but she’s here to remind us that it doesn’t have to hold us back. Lori offers practical strategies to help reframe these negative thoughts. She teaches women to recognize their own authority and to understand that their stories are powerful tools.

Lori’s mission is clear: she wants more women to embrace their fears, not be paralyzed by them. Today’s episode is more than just a discussion about public speaking, it’s a call to action.

It challenges us to move beyond our fears, to embrace our authenticity, and to share our voices with the world. Because, as Lori so beautifully puts it, your story is your authority.
