Growing up in Northern Michigan, Lori Harder only knew one way of life… that of the fundamental religious sect in which she was raised. From door knocking, bible in hand… to home schooling… to struggles with her weight… suffice it to say, confidence did not come easy to Lori…. and she shares with us the devastating story that shook her to her core.

So how did she go from an in-debt high school dropout to a nationally known fitness pro and cover model…. to a multimillionaire business owner… to a sought-after thought leader, who today graces stages like TEDx, the Oprah Cruise, and 10x, speaking alongside the likes of Brendan Bouchard, Amy Porterfield, Grant Cardone, and Ed Mylett??

Her journey is one of resilience, tenacity, and finding your voice, no matter what. If you’ve ever felt small, afraid, or suffered from “Imposter Syndrome” … if you’ve ever wanted to do BIG things but felt like it wasn’t “for you” … if you’ve ever dreamt of breaking free from the shackles of your youth to step into your full glory… then today’s episode is for you.

Tune in to hear all of Lori’s tips, including how gratitude is her cornerstone and the exact visualization exercise she uses to overcome stage fright.
