Conversations with Lisa

Self-deception is a thing!  Many of us are champions at it. We can fool ourselves so well. I thought I was connected to my kids because I spent time with them…I thought I was reflective and considered…I thought I had an intimate relationship…I thought I was on the path to success… And it was only…

I’m done with the story that it’s selfish to take care of ourselves – to be the priority in our lives. I’m done with women feeling shame and guilt for resting when the house is untidy or there’s work to be done. I’m done with the idea that we must sacrifice all for the people around…

In this special episode we’re revisiting a chat I had earlier this year with two women — Janine and Alecia — who have both created major shifts in their life using tools they learned in Ready For Change. In this conversation, we talk about: Alecia even shares how she thought the program “sounded silly” before she joined (I…

It’s often in times of crisis that we discover new truths about ourselves… So what have these past few months of #craziness revealed about YOU?

We’re still knee-deep in shutdown mode, so the kids and I have been shaking things up to inject some fun into our evenings… and absolutely loving the switch-up. Which got me thinking:  … Why have we all bought into the idea that bath / dinner / bed is the “right” way to do night times…

Why is it so hard for us women to ask for help? And why do we feel bad admitting that we can’t do everything by ourselves? In today’s podcast, I’m peeling back the curtains on a big decision I made recently to call in help at home to get our family through this shutdown period…

The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting everyone right now, including our kids. Their eyes are trained on us — the ‘grown ups’ — as they try to navigate this strange terrain. And as a parent or family member, YOU get to help set the tone for them during this unusual time… So what do you want…

With the COVID-19 shutdown continuing to loom over us, have you got questions and doubts racing through your brain on a loop? ‘How are we going to get through this?’ ‘How is this going to work?’ ‘How the heck am I going to homeschool my kids for a whole term?’ ‘How can I make sure…
