with Sally Lou Loveman
The #1 fear people have is speaking in public. It’s actually the only fear Sally Lou Loveman doesn’t have. Join Sally Lou for the lovespeaks series where she leaves fear behind and speaks love – doing what you love, loving your story, learning to love speaking, loving each other and loving ourselves. As the former audience producer for The Oprah Winfrey Show, Sally Lou and her crew speak their stories each week so you can speak yours. No topic is off limits – from kindness to composting, and everything in between, if you need a community to kickstart your heart, you need the lovespeaks series.
Sally Lou is a mom, professional speaker, author of Speak: Love Your Story, Your Audience is Waiting and founder of lovespeaks.
It’s the lovespeaks series, where a little bit of love goes a long way.

Season 2 Episode #6:
Speaking of Holiday 2020
Guests: A sampling of some of my favorite people who are creative givers and lovers of holiday traditions
On this episode we are looking for the bright side of Holiday 2020! I asked some friends what tradition they will have to go without this year, and what new tradition they are replacing the old one with. I hope you get some good ideas for your own holiday celebrations! Stay healthy and stay in touch with the people you love.
Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa! And with a big sigh of relief …
Happy 2021!
