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.
Episode Highlights:
➤ What it means to truly “lead with love” in daily life
➤ How attempts to control others often come from fear, not love
➤ The difference between emotional control vs. connection
➤ Parenting with love: leading without micromanaging
➤ Releasing the need to be right in order to be in integrity
➤ Why acceptance doesn’t mean agreement
➤ Showing up as the honest version of yourself not just the likable one
➤ Small ways to lead with love in everyday interactions
➤ Lori’s personal reflections from partnership to parenting
➤ Grounding questions to help you shift from control to clarity
