Unleash Your Wild Woman

What opens up when we decide the ‘good girl’ role isn’t ours to play anymore?

In this special Inside the Speakers Studio episode, Lauri Smith traces her journey from playing small to unleashing her fire — from meek “Mary Warren” to fiery “Abigail” — and explores the deeper archetypes of Good Girl, Rule Breaker, and Wild Woman.

You’ll hear the pivotal story that opened the doorway to her voice, a fresh take on how rebellion and safety shape us, and a soulful invitation to step into your own Wild Woman (or whatever name resonates with you).

If you’ve ever felt torn between being agreeable, being defiant, or being fully yourself — this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen in and ask yourself: Who is your Good Girl? Who is your Wild Woman?

TAKEAWAYS:
1. Your whole life comes with you on stage (and radiates back into life).
2. Each time you cross a threshold into something you were told not to be, you expand your voice.
3. Rebellion is a natural part of growth — but it’s not the end goal.
4. Healing and emerging weave together — like a flower folding inward, then blooming stronger.
5. Practical reflection questions: Who is your Good Girl? Rule Breaker? Wild Woman?
