This episode of the Leadership and Love Podcast features a powerful conversation between Louie Sharp and guest Karen Lorre—an actress-turned-coach, author, and mind-body science expert. She shares her journey from studying mind-body science to acting in over 1,000 hours of TV and film, and eventually helping people align their body, subconscious, and conscious mind. Karen explains how acting revealed the ways our beliefs shape our physiology through the reticular activating system, and she opens up about her own healing from trauma, narcolepsy, and chronic health issues through spiritual awakening and self-discovery. She highlights the importance of heartfulness, an open heart, mindful eating, and meditation for leadership and personal growth. The conversation touches on ego, appreciation, and accessing inner wisdom by allowing energy to flow. Karen is also the author of three books—Chronic Pleasure, Effortless Enchantment, and Chronic Pleasure in Relationships.
