I Lit my Entire Life on Fire with Lisa Blaisdell

In just three years, Lisa Blaisdell walked away from everything that once defined her — a decades-long career, a 20+ year marriage, and the hometown she’d always known. People questioned her choices. She made them anyway. What came next? A brand-new life, built fully on her terms. In this episode, Lisa shares how stepping into the unknown led her to joy, purpose, and freedom — and why she believes midlife isn’t about settling down, it’s about rising up. Now she’s helping other women do the same.   Follow Lisa and download her free journal at https://www.lisablaisdell.com/.

I Created What I Couldn't Find with Kara Hammes

When Kara Hammes couldn’t find the kind of vacation rental experience she was dreaming about, she didn’t wait around — she built it herself. With a background in corporate life and science (and exactly zero experience in hospitality), Kara launched a new concept in Airbnb rentals — larger, welcoming spaces designed for groups to actually vacation together.  Oh, and she launched it during COVID. Now she owns and operates Brown County Barn Burner. In this episode, we talk about trusting your instincts, starting messy, and why sometimes the best businesses are born when you say, “Screw it — I’ll do it myself.”   Follow Kara on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bcbarnburner [https://www.instagram.com/bcbarnburner] and https://www.instagram.com/tanglewood.hideaway [https://www.instagram.com/tanglewood.hideaway]   Websites: https://www.bcbarnburner.com/ [https://www.bcbarnburner.com/] and https://www.tanglewoodhideaway.com/ [https://www.tanglewoodhideaway.com/]
