…but Lori wouldn’t have it any other way! It’s the miracles, disappointments, victories and failures that have given her countless hilarious and moving stories to share with audiences across the nation. Lori’s authentic yet zany outlook comes from taking a couple of detours down one of life’s darkest alleys, Post-Partum Psychosis. One might think that being blindsided and broken by a devastating illness would have made Lori a more serious, keynote speaker and trainer. But it turns out that walking through those valleys has made her more determined to spread laughter and joy as she parades through life. Her quick wit, hilarious stories and Okie charm captivates the audience then opens their hearts to learn and grow.
Not only was Lori crowned Mrs. Oklahoma United States in 2002, she also won the Mrs. Christian World Pageant in 2005. Pageantry was not a mere quest for crowns and recognition, but a tool to open doors to share her testimony and story with several TV programs, radio broadcasts and magazines. Depression and emotional illness are rampant in our world today. Lori has had countless opportunities to encourage hurting people and let them know that God still has a plan for their lives even when they have hit the bottom.
After publishing the book What Shoe Are You? in 2006 she quickly became known as the Shoe Speaker. Her Shoe Talk has been consistently her most requested year after year.
