#92: The Secret Superpower of Childlike Joy (FLOW PEP TALK)

00:00 / 00:14:16

Do you remember what it used to feel like to play as a child? Without worrying about what “they” think? Without worrying about whether what you are doing is leading to, or how it’s going to help you? Without worrying at all?

What would it be like to give yourself permission to feel that again, now? In this episode, host Laurie Smith talks about how joy connects us to who we really are, and where we’re feeling called to go.

Is there something you’d like to try that you’ve been avoiding? Is there a playful activity that you feel is too “silly”?

What would it be like to commit to something that isn’t going to help you reach your goals, but instead, simply helps you feel more like YOU? Even if it’s a version of you that you haven’t experienced for a long time.

“Everything Was Great!”Liya, age 18, Flow Habit Workshop Participant from LaSalle University in Barcelona, Spain at Barowsky School of Business Global Programs, Dominican University of California
"This workshop made me know how to act and what to do when I'm stressed or before having a panic attack. Laurie makes you feel like it's not difficult to relax even when you are feeling stressed. I wouldn't change anything--everything was great!"
“New Self Confidence”Evan, age 18, BBYO Leadership Conference Participant, NJ
"Laurie's DreamCatching workshop enlightened my soul. I can now use my my new self-confidence. As a teacher, Laurie is cool, calm, collected. This workshop cannot be improved. I definitely recommend it."
“I got to know myself a little better”Flow Habit Workshop Participant, age 19, from LaSalle University in Barcelona, Spain at Barowsky School of Business Global Programs, Dominican University of California
"I liked that I got to know myself a little better and to listen to my feelings. I liked the math [flow activity], it was my favorite part. I think it's important for people my age to know that everything is okay and there's always an exit. Thanks for coming here and sharing your way of thinking [about flow]."
“Learned to Respect Myself”Aubrey, age 14, BBYO Conference Participant
"I loved Laurie's DreamCatching workshop. I learned the qualities of being a successful leader. I also learned to respect myself and others with a great passion. I really liked how Laurie can relate to us and wants to help us. Just by listening to her, I felt welcomed."
“Made Me Feel More Confident”Manager, The Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, PA
"Laurie's DreamCatching workshop made me want to keep on striving to be better, and made me feel more confident working with my co-workers. Laurie is friendly and a good listener. I really liked the brainstorming activities."
“Can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring!”Jane, Miracles Course Participant, United Kingdom
"Thank you for your (online) course. Three months ago I experienced a profound miracle, so came to this course as an absolute believer wanting to know how I could more intentionally allow miracles to happen through me. There were so many miracles to choose from when asked to focus on one, but the one that was going to make the quickest and most profound change to us was relief from our bad money situation. This would relieve the stress to allow other miracles to happen. During the course I experienced an intense beautiful ball of light/energy above my head that sometimes came down and joined with my physical body taking away 'me' and just leaving 'oneness' with the universe. It was/is wonderful! On a more practical level I received a cheque from a cousin that I have only seen once in 20 years for £1000 ($2,000). He said he just had a feeling it was the right thing to do. It is a wonderful demonstration of a true miracle. All I need now is 20 more cousins to do the same thing 🙂 I would just like to encourage anyone taking the course to actually follow the steps suggested. It is easy to say 'oh, I know all that', and yes we do, but we have to actually put these things into practice for them to work. I am so grateful to the universe for offering me the opportunity to experience a miraculous life and can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring. My intention is to get my life sorted enough to be able to intend miracles for others. Thank you again Laurie!"
“Helped Me Put My Life in Order and Prioritize What’s Important”Teacher, New Beginnings School, Fairfield, NJ
"I really enjoyed Laurie's DreamCatching course. I enjoyed the visualization activities. They brought back great memories when I was a lot less stressed and a lot happier with myself. My favorite part was the meditations. They helped me notice that I am very easily stressed over the simplest things that can be easily resolved. I would definitely recommend her workshop to others. It helped me put my life in order and prioritize what's important."
“Absolutely Recommend…Helping Our Employees Manage Their Stress”Joe O’Donnell, Former Senior HR Representative, QuintilesIMS
“Offering Laurie’s workshop on stress reduction and relaxation was a highly unique way we were able to recognize our employees as individuals. This was my way of saying, “Yes, we all have stress in our lives.” Laurie’s workshop was a good tool for helping our employees manage their stress. I would absolutely recommend her services.”
“Now I Know What Makes Me Happy”Alissa, age 17, New Jersey
"I really enjoyed participating in Laurie's DreamCatching course. It helped me to think of positive past moments, and to recognize that there are themes within our individual happy moments. Now that I know what makes me happy, I can strive for more happy moments. I recommend her courses. I love Laurie's positive nature!"
“Amazing Guide on Inward Journeys”June Soyka Cook, Founder of HolisticPost.com and Founder of Former SelfHealthExpressions.com
"I met Laurie Smith in a yoga class in 2003 and instantly liked her. She is a gentle, soulful and compassionate person. I took one of her early tele-classes, holistic in nature, and found her to be an amazing guide on inward journeys. She is wise and has a soothing and reassuring voice for guided meditations and visualizations. Some years later, I invited her to create and instruct an online class for our former (then large) holistic healing site, SelfHealingExpressions.com. Her Miracles course received high praised from students. Her audio meditations and visualizations served as a guide for inner peace and manifestation. Her lessons included inspirational stories, messages and exercises that prompted introspection and psycho-spiritual healing. Laurie’s positive approach towards life gives people hope and confidence that they can realize joy and their full potential -- even if that might seem like a tough climb at the start of their journey with her."
“Learn to Always Be Myself”DreamCatching Participant, BBYO Conference, New Jersey
"Laurie's DreamCatching workshop helped me learn who I am and how I want to be around people. Sometimes I change who I am depending on who I am with. This course helped me because now I know that I can learn to always be myself."
“For the First Time in my Life, I Looked Within Myself”Staff Member of New Beginnings School in Fairfield, NJ
“For the first time in my life, I looked within myself and only focused on myself, and I have you to thank…everything in this workshop was great!”
“Laurie Brings a Lot of Enthusiasm…Everyone Was Listening to Each Other”Timshel, Manager, The Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, PA
"Laurie's DreamCatching workshop was great for our department. I liked hearing things about other people I have not heard before. What I liked best was getting everyone in the same room with everyone listening to each other. Laurie brings a lot of enthusiasm. She likes what she does. I think this workshop will positively impact my life because I think listening to others' desires and needs can inspire one to strive for goals in their own lives."
“Great, Different, and Fun!”Flow Habit Workshop Participant from LaSalle University in Barcelona, Spain at Barowsky School of Business Global Programs, Dominican University of California
"I enjoyed learning more about how to get into the flow state. I liked that the activities were different and fun, and I enjoyed Laurie's teaching style. [This workshop] was great!"
“The Healing Energy Has Been Incredible”Jill Cifelli, New Jersey
"Where do I start? The healing energy in this amazing group of beautiful women has been incredible and I've been sucking it up like a sponge. Sometimes that's been scary, sometimes empowering, always powerful, always meaningful, always awakening in some way, even if I'm not aware of it on a conscious level. I've enjoyed this time so much!"
“My coaching and writing business has doubled!”Nanou Matteson, Writing Coach, Film Producer, Script Consultant

"Laurie's workshop opened the door to the authenticity I was looking for. Her guidance in the meditations/visualizations was just the right pace and tone and I felt the vision was able to come to light in a really great way as a result. I could see that what had been holding me back from being able to coach and guide more people was just fear of being judged. In the balance of what I feel I can bring to people, that fear becomes very small. It's like I was siding with fear instead of siding with love and that was holding me back. Since then, my coaching and writing business has doubled and I've been asked to produce two new film projects."
“Flow and Manifesting…Miraculous!”Laura Briggs, Personal Stylist, Marin County, California
"During Laurie's Manifest Your Dreams with Flow Program, I wrote down all of my goals and dreams about my business. I talked about traveling and helping people find beautiful outfits for work and fun, and awards ceremonies. A few months after participating in this program, work just started flowing in! I got lots of clients here in California and on the east coast too, so I was doing lots of video zooms. I’ve traveled to help people with their closets and clothes, and I started dressing people for big speaking events. I dressed a few people for the Grammy’s this year. Flow and manifesting have really been miraculous in my life."
“Will Be Applied in My Day-to-Day Activities”Héctor González Hortelano, age 19, Flow Habit Workshop Participant from LaSalle University in Barcelona, Spain at Barowsky School of Business Global Programs, Dominican University of California
Ms. Smith communicated in a superbly ideal way, just by talking, it felt as if she was in flow and her insights about the flow state were greatly useful and surely will be applied in my day-to-day activities."
“Spiritually Amazing Experience”-Meighan Leibert, Bikram Yoga Teacher & Restaurant Owner, San Francisco, CA
"This has been a loving and spiritually amazing experience. I have learned a great deal about myself and feel truly grateful for all that you have offered. I will most definitely participate again, please 'count me in'.
“My Confidence Has Been Boosted!”Manager, Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, PA
"My confidence has been boosted! I now have an action plan for working and overcoming barriers. Laurie was fabulous at motivating us and giving us focus and hope. I learned that I must focus on the positives rather than the negatives. She kept us on track and helped us focus on the solution to our problems. Her facilitation style is so positive. I definitely recommend her courses."
“The guided meditation was so powerful”Julie Evans, Participant in Manifest Your Creative Dreams with Flow Workshop
"I can't thank you enough for creating this workshop. The guided meditation you provided was so powerful. I could actually feel myself standing on the stage of an elementary school's gymnasium, reading and singing to children. I could smell the cafeteria and hear the laughter as I read/sang my goofy stories. This felt so real! My body was tingling afterwards, and it took me a minute or two to jump back into the present. I saw a glimpse of the future that seems possible if I can get out of my own way and learn to 'flow.' How magical is that? You are a very talented lady! I'm grateful for you. Thank you for inspiring me. Your time was a huge gift."
“I Loved It!”Lisa, Bucks County, PA
"Participating in this class was a life learning lesson. Thank you! I loved it!"
“Loved the Guided Meditations”Sharon, Environmental Consultant, West Chester, PA
"Laurie's Miracle course was fantastic! I loved the guided meditations. They really helped open areas in my mind and soul that had been locked. The images that I received during the guided meditations were very revealing, and have helped me recognize and honor the little "ordinary" miracles that I am surrounded by in every moment. The readings for each course chapter were concise, positive and well organized, and were an excellent roadmap for the journey of manifesting miracles. The writing exercises were simple, and were a great way to tie together the readings and meditations, and to make the material relevant to my life and my needs. I would recommend this course to anyone who is trying to manifest "big" miracles in their life, or someone who wants to honor those "ordinary" miracles that happen all around us all the time."
“Tools to Combat Everyday Stresses”Carol Wyckoff, Lead Teacher, Girls’ High School, Philadelphia, PA
“Laurie Smith held two workshops with our childcare staff. As Lead Teacher, I was concerned about the negative attitude I was hearing. Laurie gave us tools to combat the everyday stresses that can cause the toxic attitude. Most found the sessions helpful and spoke about the experience later. The affirmation: be the change you want to see, is an empowering one. We are grateful for the help!”
“I Like the Meditation and Visualization”Marc, Flow Habit Workshop Participant, age 18, from LaSalle University in Barcelona, Spain at Barowsky School of Business Global Programs, Dominican University of California
"I liked the activity of meditation and visualization that we did before the flow activities. [This workshop offers] a way to see all the processes that a person has done in years and to understand why a person is acting in a way and why not. I like the dedication that Laurie gives her work. I would recommend this workshop to others."
“Your Miracles Course is Amazing”Dana Niemach, Lawrence, Kansas
"Laurie, your Miracles course is amazing. When I look back to what has happened between lessons, I am in awe. The meditations are so great. The visions are great. I can see the property we are hoping for. The feelings of peace and joy are coming for all of us. It is exciting!"
“Useful to a Yogi Master, or someone who had Never Meditated a Day in their Life”William Gold, Center Leader, Comprehensive Early Learning Center, South Philadelphia High School
“When Laurie Smith stated that she would be able to provide a training on relaxation and stress reduction, I didn't realize then that she was going to make even the preparation for the training a relaxing experience. She managed to meet our training needs perfectly. She was an absolute professional to work with, and presented an amazing training on stress reduction that could be useful to a yogi master or someone who had never meditated a day in their life. I'd highly recommend to anyone seeking a training on relaxation, or stress reduction, to choose Laurie Smith as their trainer.”
“Everyone was Literally Mesmerized”Donna Sher, Sisterhood President Congregation Beth Chaim, Princeton, NJ
“Thanks so much for your wonderful presentation. Everyone was literally mesmerized and learned a great deal as well. Thank you for giving your time and energy.”
“Infectious Positive Energy…Relaxes my Mind and Body”Malikah Wright, Novelist and Fiction Writer
Each time I participate in one of Laurie's 28-Day Flow Challenges, I am surprised at how a simple task can ignite creativity. When you're a part of the challenge, you receive inspirational emails daily and you learn about others who are also participating. This unique challenge reaffirms that consistent behavior can help anyone achieve their goals. At the end of the challenge, all participants are invited to meet and share their experiences via Zoom. I have also participated in quite a few of Laurie's meditations and I'm a huge fan. The combination of Laurie's infectious positive energy and soothing tone completely relaxes my mind and body.
“A New Way to Relax”Joan, Hopewell, NJ
"This course has given me a means to structure meditation time--a good thing. I now have a new way to relax to tap into my own energy. Thank you."
“Her Meditations are So Relaxing”Faculty participant, New Beginnings School, Fairfield, NJ
"I would wholeheartedly recommend Laurie as a teacher. She reminds us how much we should appreciate what we have in our life. Her meditations are so relaxing."
“Engaging and Insightful…Lasting Impact!”Alex Ma, Global Programs Manager, Barowsky School of Business, Dominican University of California
"Thank you for leading such an engaging and insightful session for our two groups of students from La Salle Barcelona. We truly enjoyed learning about the concept of flow and the practical ways to cultivate it in our daily lives.

One of the most valuable takeaways was realizing that many of us have already experienced flow without recognizing it. Your presentation helped students reflect on the activities that make them feel fully engaged—whether through sports, creativity, relationships, or time spent in nature—and encouraged them to think more intentionally about creating those experiences.

The discussion and sharing among participants were equally meaningful. Students benefited from hearing different perspectives, recognizing common challenges, and learning new ways to bring more positivity, balance, and purpose into their lives. Your emphasis on reconnecting with childhood passions and discovering one’s unique flow formula resonated strongly with the group.

As you mentioned, young people today face increasing pressure and challenges, particularly from social media, constant connectivity, and growing expectations. Your session provided valuable tools and perspectives that can help them become more self-aware, resilient, and intentional about how they spend their time and energy. We believe the lessons on flow will help them find greater balance, focus, well-being, and fulfillment both personally and professionally.

Thank you again for your time, energy, and expertise. We greatly appreciate your contribution to our program and the positive impact you made on our students! Your insights on flow and stress management will have a lasting impact."
“When The Student is Ready…”Owner of Yoga Studio, New Jersey
"This course has meant everything to me. It came at a perfect time as I was ready for it. I was surprised at what I was able to experience and at what depth. I believe I can see more clearly and feel more open to love and peace. 'When the student is ready, the teacher appears!' Thanks Laurie, for appearing."
“Fun and Life-Changing Training”Massage Therapist, Pennsylvania
"I enjoyed being in your workshop so much! I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into creating a fun and life-changing training. I learned more about myself by remembering past events and jobs, brainstorming new ideas and thinking outside the box. I enjoyed everything! Your enthusiasm about the course and content was readily apparent. Your materials and the binder we received were very professional."
“Laurie is a Natural Teacher”Jacquelyn Genovesi, PhD, Former Executive Director for the Center for STEAM Equity, The Academy of Natural Sciences and Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA
"Laurie is a natural teacher. She is inspirational and facilitates groups with intuitive wisdom and caring. I have worked with her in many different capacities--both hiring her to work with my staff at The Academy of Natural Sciences and attending her workshops privately. She is creative and offers a lot from her corporate experience as well as her life coaching and holistic healing backgrounds. My staff really enjoyed her guided visualization meditations, as well as her brainstorming sessions. We all came away with many new ideas for improving our lives and were closer as a team. Laurie creates a safe place to connect with your intuitive wisdom."
“Clear, Non-Threatening and Supportive”Carolyn, Lambertville, NJ
"Your course helped me to understand more and more how to heal myself and others energetically. Most people who are seekers of self healing could benefit from your work. I enjoy your teaching style--very clear, non-threatening and supportive. I would like to share your courses with several of my friends."
“Resonating at a Higher Level”Energy Healing Student, Lambertville, NJ
"Your teaching style is very gentle and elegant. The exploration of energy is ongoing for me, and what I feel and experience is resonating at a higher level as a result of immersing in your course. It was great fun."

"I have known Laurie for at least 10 years and have witnessed her true authenticity as a human being in all areas of her life.

“I Loved Everything…Really Fun!”Flow Habit Workshop Participant, age 19, from LaSalle University in Barcelona, Spain at Barowsky School of Business Global Programs, Dominican University of California
"I've loved everything [about this workshop] because normally we don't do these kinds of exercises. I've really enjoyed it! My favorite part was remembering three happy flow memories. I think that with these kinds of activities, we can all participate. It's personal for everyone. Everything was perfect. It was a really fun activity and I would love to learn more about the flow state."
“More Aware of My Energy”Yoga Instructor, Lambertville, NJ
