Reinventing at 49: The Brave Decision Behind My Next Chapter, Episode 159

This episode personal. I'm sharing a major life update: I'm going back to school at 49 to pursue my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. This new chapter means I'm pressing pause on the podcast so I can focus my time and energy on deeper, more embodied work with my 1:1 clients, the Clear Vision Builders Book Club, in-person gatherings, and my upcoming therapeutic training. In this conversation, I'm opening up about why now is the time for reinvention, what led me to pursue mental health counseling, and how the lineage of strong, brave women in my family shaped this decision. I also share what's continuing in my business, what's shifting, and all the ways you and I can stay connected in this next era. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to truly follow your Clear Vision in real time, this episode is an intimate behind-the-scenes look into my own evolution.

Being Ready Isn't a Feeling: It's a Decision, Episode 158

You'll never feel ready to begin. You just decide. In this episode, Lisa shares the behind-the-scenes of her Build Your Clear Vision book launch — which hit bestseller status in multiple categories — and the deeper lesson that emerged from that milestone: readiness is not a feeling, it's a decision. She opens up about what it really takes to move from dreaming to doing, how women can release the pressure to "save the world," and why accountability, structure, and self-care are the secret ingredients to turning vision into reality. You'll also hear about the Clear Vision Builders Book Club, an 8-week live experience co-led by Lisa and meditation coach Derrick Yanford. Together, they'll help you build your Clear Vision from concept to completion with practical strategy, soulful guidance, and embodied practices that keep you grounded and in flow. In this episode: * The truth about "feeling ready" and what it actually means to start * The moment Lisa realized that aligned action matters more than saving the world * How radical self-care fuels creative productivity * Why accountability is the missing link between clarity and completion * What you'll experience inside the Clear Vision Builders Book Club If you're ready to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start building what matters most, this conversation is for you.
