Kirstein
Lori Kirstein is the founder of The Goodbye Good Girl Project's Womanpreneur Success Codes family of offerings. She is a fierce advocate for women tired of being beaten down by the rules that keep us quiet, small or simply on paths not our own. For over 15 years, Lori tried to follow every formula, every program, every “proven” path to success — and kept ending up frustrated, exhausted, and invisible. It wasn’t until she discovered the power of voice, emotional energetics, and taking small, soul-led steps that everything changed.
Today, Lori helps women leaders and entrepreneurs stand unapologetically in their power, find their true voices, and step into visibility with confidence. Through her workshops, coaching, and acting-based exercises, she teaches women how to stop people-pleasing, start trusting themselves, and lead their lives and businesses with sovereignty and joy.
Her work combines practical tools with emotional and mindset transformations, showing women that they can craft visibility in their own image, rewrite their success story, and create success that is aligned with exactly who they are — one strong, undeniable step at atime.
