Speak Loud

I am so excited to welcome my dear friend, Lauri Schoenfeld, to the show today! Despite the childhood abuse she endured, Lauri is a successful, incredible, and strong woman today. She is a mother of three, a captivating and inspiring speaker, an expression coach, and an amazing author.Lauri opens up about the different types of childhood abuse she faced, including emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. She recounts the thoughts and feelings she experienced and how her perception became morphed because of her abuse. Lauri explains how she began to justify the abuse her parents inflicted upon her as being her fault, that something was wrong with her. She shares that this mentality that manifested from her abuse led her to become suicidal. Then, Lauri discusses how she was able to break out of her childhood abuse because of a physical ailment she had to tend to and heal. Through the care she gave her body, Lauri learned to find her mental strength as well, and shift her mindset to being the victor in her life.La
