In the latest episode of Coffee in the Green Room, host Deneen White invites Lori Bruton, a woman whose story exemplifies resilience and transformation, to share her journey of overcoming toxic relationships. Lori’s experiences are both heart-wrenching and inspiring, capturing her courage to break free and rebuild her life. Her story begins with a life that seemed ideal on the surface—a marriage, children, and a promising future. But unresolved past issues eventually surfaced, leading her into a toxic relationship that would last over a decade.
Lori openly admits, “I became someone I didn’t even recognize.” Yet, through the struggles, Lori found the strength and calling to help others in similar situations. Her journey from heartbreak to empowerment would become her life’s mission, giving hope to countless others facing their own battles.
A Defining Moment of Courage
One of Lori’s most pivotal moments came when she found herself on stage with renowned transformation coach Gary Coxe. Through his guidance and with a supportive audience, Lori was encouraged to make a life-changing decision. “Are you ready to take back your life?” Gary asked her. Lori mustered her courage, picking up the phone to end the toxic relationship that had overshadowed her happiness.
After the call, a profound sense of relief washed over Lori. “It felt like I became a different person,” she reflects. With newfound freedom, Lori was ready to embrace her calling. This experience gave her the strength and clarity to become a published author, using her story to help others find healing.
From Brokenness to Wholeness – Writing Hole to Whole
Lori’s journey of healing and discovery led her to write her first book, Hole to Whole: Journey to Hope and Transformation. This work was a transformative project, capturing her growth from brokenness to wholeness. Lori’s book cover depicts a girl in puzzle pieces with one piece missing from her back, symbolizing the parts of herself she felt were missing. Writing became her way to heal and to inspire others. As Lori explains, “The missing piece represents the void many of us feel before we begin our healing journey.”
Through her writing, Lori found an outlet to express her past pain while providing hope for readers facing similar struggles. Her mission became clear: she wanted to guide others toward self-acceptance, healing, and reclaiming their lives.
Helping Women Overcome Toxic Relationships
After breaking free from her own toxic relationship, Lori committed herself to helping others. She uses her “ABCs of Achieving” framework—Accept, Believe, and Conceive—as a guide for her clients. “Accept where you are,” she explains, “and believe that healing is possible. Conceive the future you want.” Lori believes that only by recognizing where you are can you take the first steps toward where you want to be.
Her mission is to support women as they reclaim their self-worth, rediscover hope, and make empowering choices. Lori’s life and career serve as a powerful reminder that, no matter the past, we all have the potential to build a brighter future.
Embracing Wholeness and Inspiring Others
As Lori looks to the future, she’s more determined than ever to spread her message of resilience and hope. Having gone through dark times and emerged with a new sense of purpose, Lori now sees her past as a strength. Her second book, The Lori Factor: Live the Life You Were Born to Live, reflects her continued mission to inspire transformation in others.
Whether through writing, speaking, or one-on-one coaching, Lori helps others rise above their circumstances and live with confidence. Her website, LoriBruton.com, provides resources and inspiration for those ready to start their own journey toward healing.
Moving Forward with Purpose
Lori Bruton’s journey from brokenness to wholeness is a powerful testament to the human spirit’s resilience. With each client, each story, and each chapter of her life, Lori spreads hope to those who feel trapped by their circumstances.
