In planning our World Changers Retreat to Fiji, Lori brought tremendous value in strategy & experience. She up-leveled our agenda with the perfect balance of rest, play & getting down to business. Her professional insight makes a retreat a “level10” — a life changing experience. And Lori is one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met! Everyone needs a Lori for their retreat.
Lori McDowell’s retreat was fantastic in Utila, Honduras — a beautiful, beautiful place I would come back to. Lori is running my Camino retreat in Spain for 50 to a 100 women. She’s organized. She loves details. Her superpower is taking care of people. I love to get people excited to come, and Lori makes sure they have a great time. It’s a perfect partnership. I highly recommend hiring Lori for Done For You Retreats.
Lori McDowell was integral to my Writing Retreat’s success — addressing issues with Airbnb, managing the budget, greeting everyone with her infectious smile. Attendees enjoyed interacting with her. She took care of their concerns. Freeing me to lead the event for the entire three days was exactly what I was hoping for. She nailed it. If you want your event to run smoothly with you as the carefree retreat leader, work with Lori and ReimagineU Strategies.
Lori radiates authenticity and possibility. Her energy is uplifting, her vision is contagious, and her presence makes you feel like you belong. If she’s leading something, I want in.
I’m so incredibly grateful to Lori McDowell! I just had a session with Lori that blew my socks off. I came in feeling very heavy, like I was carrying a lot of guilt inside. She took me through this amazing quantum release process. Guilt was completely released, and now I get to see my relationships in a different light. I feel so free to be my true self without apology, lighter and way more playful and free spirited. I highly, highly recommend working with Lori McDowell.
Lori McDowell was a featured speaker at the Wild Woman With Impact Summit, spotlighting the world’s most powerful voices in women’s entrepreneurship. Her session on limiting beliefs was transformational, blending mindset breakthroughs with strategic action. Lori McDowell delivers the kind of talk that gets remembered—and acted on. If you’re curating a high-impact stage and want a speaker who moves both hearts and results, Lori McDowell delivers.
I’m here to share my incredible experience and the power of the work at Lori McDowell’s Purpose, Power, and Play: When Passion Meets Success workshop. We set meaningful goals and anchored them for three months from that day. My goals focused on growing my business, with a dream of booking a cruise fully paid for by my business. I left feeling energized and inspired. Later that day, I participated in an entirely separate speaking event and was chosen as the winner of a Speaking Cruise! I thank you, Lori, for creating such a transformative experience and helping me manifest my goal in an extraordinary way!
Lori McDowell is a captivating speaker! As a reinvention coach guiding us toward a life of purpose, joy and fulfillment, she inspires us to overcome obstacles and tap into our faith. She’s unlocking our full potential.
Lori McDowell has such incredible presence! It was comfortable from the moment I stepped into her room. Before I worked with Lori I was feeling anger, fear, and shame. She helped me release all this through her breakthrough process. Now I recognize the beauty, and the sheer fun and joy, that I hold within.
Lori McDowell redefines success, she doesn’t just talk about it. As a speaker, she weaves purpose, profit, and personal growth into her message in a way that is deeply grounding and incredibly energizing. When she takes the stage, something shifts. She brings clarity to the chaos for entrepreneurs and reminds us fulfillment is the foundation, not a trade-off. If you are building something meaningful, you want Lori McDowell in your room.
Lori McDowell focuses on lasting change, instead of offering a quick-fix solution. I struggled with cycles of low motivation, distractions, and self-doubt. After working with Lori, now I identify the mental roadblocks holding me back and apply tools to overcome them. Now, when frustration or anxiety creeps in I feel empowered and immediately shift my mindset towards positivity. Anyone looking to break free from self-doubt and unleash their full potential? I highly recommend Lori!
Lori McDowell was a great guest on The Deepak Saini Show. She has a warm and caring personality, as well as being outgoing and funny. A perfect guest. Her experiences fit right in with the themes of our show.
In business for over 5 years, I still had moments of imposter syndrome. The privilege of working with Lori Mcdowell and her somatic energy release process helped me shift what was behind imposter syndrome — from my feelings of unworthiness, impatience and a bit of feeling incompetent to a place of compassion, resilience, and playfulness! Contact Lori today and shift your negative emotions and limiting decisions.
Hosting Lori McDowell speaking on the Unfiltered Solopreneur podcast was a masterclass on reinvention and resilience. Her journey from PhD chemical engineer to reinvention coach earns instant credibility with even the most skeptical audiences. Her focus on joy and “soul success” brings a refreshing approach to personal development. With contagious energy, she delivers insights with clarity, humor, and heart. If you’re looking for a speaker who blends professional depth with heart-centered wisdom, Lori McDowell delivers.
Lori has an incredible gift for seeing your potential even before you can. Every time I’ve worked with her or joined one of her events, I’ve walked away with more clarity, confidence, and courage to take bold, meaningful steps. She leads with heart, depth, and a contagious energy that makes you feel like anything is possible. Lori doesn’t just inspire—she empowers you to rise.
I am super impressed with Lori McDowell’s speaking at my events. She’s inspirational. She provides a lot of value. She engages with the audience and brings excitement and a practical wisdom and flavor to your event unlike many inspirational speakers. If you are considering speakers, I highly recommend contacting Lori McDowell at Reimagine U Strategies.
Experiencing some issues in my personal and professional life, I did a session with Dr. Lori McDowell. I felt a release of things I didn’t even know I was carrying around.
I was stuck, struggling getting my coaching business started. Working with Lori McDowell in the quantum release process, I released learned helplessness! Lori helped me find a new way to feel more acceptance, healing and clarity. For transformation I highly recommend Lori.
When I had the opportunity to be coached by Dr. Lori McDowell, she helped me release negative thoughts and emotions which were keeping me stuck — they were not serving me in achieving my goals. I highly recommend Lori as your coach.
Happy Monday! You may have noticed that you haven’t gotten emails from me for a week. I was on the TEAM at an intense personal growth event, where we were busy for 12+ hours a day, and I listened to my heart, which said, the emails can wait.
And I am listening again, and it is telling me, take the weekend off. So starting today, the newsletter will be called “Momentum Monday.” I also may be adjusting the rest of the schedule, and you will hear from me from M-F.
Let’s get that momentum going!
