Lori’s World

Lori Kaplan is a New York–based speaker, storyteller, and author whose work explores identity, vulnerability, and the unseen emotional lives of women in high-performance worlds.
For over two decades, she worked behind the scenes in Broadway, film, and television environments witnessing private, unfiltered moments where confidence was built, broken, and rebuilt again.
Those experiences shaped her voice today: honest, grounded, and deeply human.
She now shares these insights through her writing, speaking, and conversations focused on personal growth, resilience, and authenticity.
