About Lori

I believe the best conversations begin when people feel safe enough to pull up a chair.

Whether it's on a porch at sunrise, around a campfire, on a bike ride, or over a cup of coffee, those are the moments that remind us who we are. They help us reconnect with what matters most. They spark reflection, deepen connection, and sometimes change the direction of our lives.

That's why I write.

For years, writing was where I felt most at home. It was the quiet place where I explored ideas, made sense of life's twists and turns, and connected with readers one story at a time.

Over time, something unexpected happened. Those stories began leading to conversations. What started on the page found its way into workshops, leadership conversations, community gatherings, and spaces where people could reflect, connect, and grow together.

I still believe in the power of the written word. But these days, I'm just as energized by the conversations that begin after the story ends.

My work has always been guided by one simple belief: people do their best work and live their best lives when they feel safe, seen, fulfilled, and empowered.

That belief has shaped everything I've created — from five published books and countless blog posts to speaking engagements, workshops, courses, and over 100 one-on-one conversations that reinforced just how powerful it is to truly listen. Along the way, my writing has also appeared in Tiny Buddha and two Chicken Soup for the Soul collections.
