In this heartfelt and powerful episode, Lori Gouhin explores what it really means to lead with love beyond clichés and passive kindness. Through personal stories, parenting reflections, and practical insight, Lori invites us to examine the ways we attempt to control others (often with the best intentions), and how true leadership begins when we choose curiosity, emotional maturity, and radical honesty instead.
Drawing from 37 years of partnership with her husband and almost three decades of parenting, Lori illustrates how love is not about shaping people into who we want them to be but making space for them to be fully themselves, while we remain fully rooted in our own values.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking more authentic relationships with loved ones, with children, with strangers, and most importantly, with themselves.
