Summary: 

In this episode of The Suzanne Show, Lori DiGuardi, a "superhero of the soul" who helps women grant themselves the freedom to live life based on their own truth and become their own best advocate, is interviewed. Lori does this through speaking, writing, online courses and coaching. She wrote the book Anger 101: The Healthy Approach to Being a Bitch which she started writing in 2009 after being involved in a car accident.

When she moved to Tucson, Arizona from Pennsylvania she auditioned for TEDx Tucson with an idea worth spreading from her book which was accepted and she spoke at TEDx Tucson that year. The speaker explains that the word "bitch" used as a derogatory name for women in America started in the 1920s when women got the right to vote.

She believes that the American suffragettes were the first American bitches who were powerful, honorable, visionaries, heroic and angry. Through her journey of personal discovery Lori learned that when you prioritize yourself first you can serve the world better without sacrificing your own life.

This podcast conversation discusses how entrepreneurship can help people become more comfortable with being a "bitch" by doing things to make sure people don't treat them like doormats as well as three tips shared by Lori DiGuardi on how to live connected to one's inner truth and wisdom: practice being in your body; notice sensations instead of telling stories; be gentle with oneself; speak kindly; bring energy into your body; practice mindfulness.

Lori has freebies available on her website, loridiguardi.com, including an intro to mindfulness with 10 simple practices, a Wheel of Life coaching tool to help discover how to honor one's truth and values, an audio to help ground oneself in the body, and a PDF on speaking with authority and authentic power.
