Lauri Smith - Actors learn about intimacy in a room full of strangers.

from Back2Different · host Lauri Smith and Mac Bogert

As Lauri Smith and I traveled together for about an hour, I watched in my mind's eye a slide show of my childhood. We both were fine playing alone, we loved acting out stories and episodes. Both introverts. Both shy. Both actors and performers. Both empathetic, sometimes awkwardly so. She told me about how she lost my way doing the good girl thing and how heavy the armor in front of my heart can become, at the end bringing these together around the quote attributed to Victor Frankl: "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." Come along for a brief shared journey - put your feet up and just listen.Thanks.Never know what's going to show up when you click 'record'!
