Tuned In: How to Lead Without Losing Yourself

Send Lauri a message

What if your sensitivity isn’t something to manage — but the very source of your power?

In this heart-opening conversation, Lauri sits down with Bridges and Beacons host and authentic disruptor Kelly Myerson, a leadership coach and occupational therapist who helps women step out of silence and into soul-aligned leadership.

Together, they unravel the myth that you have to harden, hustle, or people-please your way into leadership. Instead, they trace the path of staying tuned in — to your body, your boundaries, your values, and the quiet knowing at the center of your being.

Kelly shares her journey from absorbing everyone’s energy to holding space with clarity and purpose. They talk about the science and soul of regulation, the quiet superpower of empathy, and the radical idea that rest and nourishment are not indulgences, but prerequisites for meaningful influence.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay open-hearted and grounded while using your voice for change, this conversation will feel like coming home.

TAKEAWAYS:
1. Sensitivity is a superpower — when paired with boundaries, intuition becomes guidance rather than overwhelm.
2. Leadership starts within — it’s not a role or job; it’s how you show up aligned with your values.
3. Energy speaks louder than words — cultivating grounded presence shapes every room you enter.
4. Well-being fuels impact — rest, nourishment, and joy are leadership essentials, not luxuries.
5. Purpose isn’t a job — it lives within you and flows through everything you do.
6. Intuition and science are allies — the body often knows what the mind hasn’t yet studied.
7. Boundaries create freedom — they transform people-pleasing into authentic connection.
8. Every voice matters — from children finding new ways to communicate to women reclaiming their radiance.
9. Possibility is power — staying curious opens doors to creative, compassionate leadership.
