Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist and author who helps people identify and rewrite the personal narratives that keep them stuck in unhealthy patterns.
Her book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone has sold over two million copies and is currently being adapted for television. Her TED talk ranked among the Top 10 Most Watched of the Year, and she writes the weekly "Ask the Therapist" column at The New York Times.
Gottlieb draws on years of clinical practice and her own experience as a therapy patient to show how the stories we tell ourselves shape our relationships, careers, and emotional health. She offers practical frameworks for recognizing when those stories no longer serve us and concrete steps for building new ones that do.
Audiences leave her sessions with a clearer understanding of how narrative patterns drive behavior, tools for reframing setbacks as turning points, and permission to treat vulnerability as a source of strength rather than a liability. Her approach is grounded in real clinical outcomes, not abstract theory.
Book Lori to give your audience the language and tools to transform how they relate to their own lives.

No, PepTalk doesn't charge a booking fee. You pay the speaker's fee plus any travel and expenses, which PepTalk confirms upfront in your quote. The shortlist, contracting and event-day logistics are included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
PepTalk sends a shortlist of matched speakers within 24 hours, each with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. The more you share about your date, audience, format, objectives and budget, the closer the match. Once you choose, PepTalk handles the contract, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range on a PepTalk speaker profile is a guide to what that speaker usually costs for an in-person event in their home market, shown in their local currency. The final fee depends on format, location, date and session length. Virtual and shorter sessions usually cost less, and international travel and peak dates cost more. PepTalk confirms the exact fee in your currency once it has your brief.
No. PepTalk represents 15,000+ speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers, some booked directly and others through their agents and agencies worldwide. The process is the same for all of them: PepTalk checks availability, negotiates the fee and manages the contract and logistics.
