In this episode of The ARTwork of YOU, host Lori Gouhin invites you to stop writing imaginary manuals for others—and finally create one for yourself.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, or stuck in default mode, this episode is your permission slip to pause and ask: What do I actually need to thrive?

Lori reframes the idea of control by showing how writing your own “user manual” isn’t about boxing yourself in—it’s about better supporting your energy, communication style, and personal rhythm. Through stories, practical prompts, and honest reflection, she shows how learning your own settings can be the beginning of real self-leadership.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

➤ Why we silently expect others to meet needs we haven’t voiced
➤ The power of writing a “user manual” for yourself (and how to start)
➤ What it looks like to reboot instead of pushing through
➤ Prompts to uncover how you work best—and what shuts you down
➤ How knowing your operating system can strengthen relationships, work, and well-being

Whether you’re navigating burnout, misalignment, or just craving deeper clarity, this episode offers a powerful invitation to redirect your energy inward—and lead yourself from a place of truth.

Create your manual. Reclaim your settings. Start showing up as the you who’s fully supported.

Thank you for sharing your time with me and remember to show up in your life like the masterpiece you are because YOU are the ARTwork!!!
