00;00;45;22 - 00;01;19;29
Lisa
Well, hey, hey, and thanks for joining me for another episode of the Full Frontal Living podcast. And today it's just me solo. I do not have a guest on with me. And if you've been tuning into the episode, for a considerable amount of time, you've known recently that I have been sharing a lot of guest episodes very much intentionally, because after five years of doing this podcast and a lot of life living and changes in my world, I almost felt like I had nothing to say.

00;01;20;01 - 00;01;41;19
Lisa
And I didn't want to sit down and just talk for the sake of talking. But today I felt really called to come in and share kind of some the behind the scenes of what's going on in my world. So I just mentioned that it has been, five years since I started this podcast. So yesterday, March 11th, recording this in 2024.

00;01;41;27 - 00;02;02;15
Lisa
Today is the 12th of March. I realized that it was five years ago that I started this podcast, and the reason for starting the podcast in the first place was because I wanted to give myself a platform where I could talk about whatever I wanted, however, I wanted to talk about it. Not little like short clips like Instagram gives you.

00;02;02;15 - 00;02;25;16
Lisa
And I wanted for it to be as easy as possible. So I started and I started after a year of probably thinking about starting the podcast. So, you know, if you think that I just suddenly take action, just like many of you, I get caught in my own fears and doubts before I take a leap into something. But I did start and it started really messy.

00;02;25;19 - 00;02;53;10
Lisa
You know, there's even one episode going way back where I was recording. Let's have something come through me that I needed to record. So I recorded it while I was grilling chicken on the barbecue, and then a train went by in the background. Like when I say I let it be messy, I really did. And it's such a great metaphor for where I'm at in my life now, because I have had to really catch myself wanting to make things right, wanting to say the right things, wanting to do it the right way.

00;02;53;10 - 00;03;21;27
Lisa
Because my business has grown and evolved so much. And this platform, this podcast, is really an opportunity for me to connect more deeply with you. And I don't take that lightly and I don't take that for granted. I want to make sure that if you are inviting me into your earbuds every week, that I am delivering something of value and meaning, and it needs to be purposeful, not just me coming in, spewing off about whatever.

00;03;21;29 - 00;03;52;09
Lisa
So I've gotten a little bit into my head about what that needs to look like. And of course, you know, 2023 was really a disruptive year. I'm just on the, year anniversary of a lot of things shifting in my life, personally. And it's amazing to me how quickly the year has gone by, yet how slowly it's gone by at the same time, like a year seems like such a huge amount of time.

00;03;52;09 - 00;04;22;11
Lisa
And it is. But when you are doing deeper work and healing, a year can really go by in the blink of an eye. And so often we underestimate overestimate how quickly we're going to move through things. And the truth is, is if you are really looking at the things that are happening in your life for you, and really having the courage to go deeper into those lessons, it just takes time.

00;04;22;11 - 00;04;46;17
Lisa
So, you know, if you've heard me talk on Instagram, as much as I am a fan of, you know, some of these programs that are out there that are 12 or 14 weeks, I'm even a coach inside one of the most powerful transformation programs available, the continued growth that is required to really dive deeply into what's happening for you takes time.

00;04;46;19 - 00;05;12;18
Lisa
And even with all the tools in my toolbox, the new levels of awareness, the grieving process that I've had to go through in order to get to a place of acceptance, and even from that place of acceptance, then there's new actions you have to take and new conversations you have to have, and new decisions to make. Before you really get into a place of embodying this new way of being in your life, it just that works takes time.

00;05;12;21 - 00;05;41;21
Lisa
You know, this is why, you know, even in nature, everything runs in seasons. Plants need time to hibernate before they can bloom in the spring and come into their glory in the summer. So if you are going through something, just know that it will take as much time as it takes. And there's definitely ways that you can show up for yourself the kind of will support your healing process.

00;05;41;24 - 00;06;08;26
Lisa
The fact that I am where I am a year afterwards, a year from when things changed in my life, I'm actually really, really proud of where I am. And I also know that there's still so much for me to discover. So if you are going through a season of feeling like life is life in you, and you're looking for strategies as to how to stay grounded, how to maintain and sustain your energy, what it really means to be resilient.

00;06;08;26 - 00;06;29;26
Lisa
If you haven't already signed up for my private podcast, Sustainably Strong, make sure that you go and sign up. For that. I will put the link in the show notes. You will not find this by searching on iTunes. You actually have to subscribe and there's a whole cluster of episodes in there, that will support you through whatever it is you're going through.

00;06;29;28 - 00;06;54;23
Lisa
So today, you know, I really wanted to share more about this season of change and how disruptive it is. For me, as I'm really looking at so many different things in my life and what I'm attached to and what serving me and what's not serving me, what it looks like to go with the flow and what surrender actually is.

00;06;54;23 - 00;07;21;12
Lisa
Because surrender isn't about giving up. It's not about waving the white flag of defeat. Surrender is about handing it over, handing it over to something greater than yourself, whatever you may believe in, so that you can be open to what new is coming in. So if you, you know, have been in my world for any amount of time, you know that I am a very highly disciplined and committed person.

00;07;21;12 - 00;07;53;09
Lisa
And discipline for me is the highest form of self-love. It's doing the things you say you're going to do. It's staying in integrity. It's staying in integrity with with those promises that you're making to yourself about whatever it may be, whether it's your your health, your nutrition, your workouts, your business, your relationships, whatever it may be. And, this year has really challenged me to look at what am I committed to do?

00;07;53;09 - 00;08;24;26
Lisa
I still want to be committed to those things. What am I making? Those things that I've been committed to mean? And what does it look like to let them go? So let me explain. Because this really comes off of, you know, I had, a workout this week, which I know sounds kind of random because, of course, so I always workout, but this is the first year that I am not working with my fitness coach, so I think I hired her back in 2018, 2019.

00;08;24;28 - 00;08;55;20
Lisa
And, she really helped me sink back into being an athlete. I've been an athlete my whole life, but this was definitely like I hired her specifically because I knew I wanted to go back on stage and compete. I knew I wanted to make specific changes around my physique, and I knew I wanted to take my attention off of my business, because I had been obsessing over my business for years, and the things that weren't working and all the stuff, and I just knew I needed another outlet.

00;08;55;23 - 00;09;18;14
Lisa
So in working with my coach, I was able to take everything that I learned from her about discipline and tenacity, and then really look at what I was willing to do in the gym and then look at my business and say, wait a minute, am I willing to do this in my business? Because as an athlete, I'm often willing to do the things that most people are unwilling to do.

00;09;18;14 - 00;09;40;15
Lisa
And even when I don't feel like it, I still go do it. But was I applying those same things in my business? So a lot of things changed in my business when I really got grounded back into being an athlete and training at that high level, which also meant, being much more responsible for my macros. So again, you know, nutrition is not something new to me.

00;09;40;17 - 00;09;58;10
Lisa
I have a whole program around nutrition. I have a whole program around, you know, how to love and accept your body, then that doesn't mean you don't want to change it, but it means you learn to love and accept your body as it is. This is work that I was doing for decades, so I'll put all of that in the show.

00;09;58;10 - 00;10;26;22
Lisa
Now, if you're interested in learning about it, I've helped women transform their physical bodies for years, so this wasn't new to me, but hopping on the bandwagon of really, being disciplined about my macros. So tracking my food, weighing my food, getting much more specific. And I truly am someone who believes, like, if you measure and look at the data, that's what's going to point you to the outcomes that you want.

00;10;26;22 - 00;10;45;17
Lisa
So are you willing to be the person who goes and does the things and doing the things? Were weighing and measuring my food because I was trying to create a specific outcome. It's like baking a cake. You don't wing a cake if you're just throwing however much flour and sugar you want. There's a specific recipe that will create that specific cake.

00;10;45;20 - 00;11;11;06
Lisa
And the same is true in body transformation, specifically around tracking macros. So I drove all into that, and I've been tracking my macros for years, and it wasn't far off what I was already doing for years. I already had those foundational habits, but it was definitely next level and I got the results that I wanted. I went on stage twice, once as an amateur athlete on my pro card and then went back on his pro.

00;11;11;06 - 00;11;41;15
Lisa
And this has been my life now. This past year, I decided that it was time for me to step into another dream. Now there's a whole bunch of different personality assessments out there. I happen to be a manifesting generator, so if you know anything about human design as manifesting generators, one of the worst things that we can do for ourselves is continue to do something when we're not feeling pulled towards it, when that passion just isn't there for us anymore.

00;11;41;18 - 00;12;09;09
Lisa
And this is something I've always struggled with, because when I am committed to something, it's very hard for me to let things go or to reframe them, put them in a different kind of box so that I can move forward. Because I get attached, I get attached to my habits. I get attached to my behaviors. I get attached to my routines, as many of us do, because it creates a certain level of certainty when we know what we can expect from the next day.

00;12;09;11 - 00;12;33;04
Lisa
But, you know, this year I made the decision that this was going to be my year to finally travel, which is a whole I'm going to get into that later in the episode. But in order to travel, which is a lot this year, I think I figured out I'll be it on every single continent except Antarctica in 2024.

00;12;33;04 - 00;12;56;14
Lisa
So I'm really like, just let's go do the thing. I'm not putting this off anymore. That makes training and being consistent with my training incredibly hard. And when I'm walking the Camino trail, I am not going to be bringing a food scale with me or worrying about if I've got enough protein. So all of these habits stay with me.

00;12;56;14 - 00;13;21;00
Lisa
I'm going to continue to be mindful about my food. I'm going to continue to train when I can train. But in order for me to step into this next version of my life or this next kind of vision of of what I want to create, it does require releasing a lot of things that I've been attached to around those routines and habits and, and schedules.

00;13;21;02 - 00;13;40;09
Lisa
So today was kind of the second week. Last week I was traveling, so I, I didn't train at all. It just wasn't feasible. I was hiking the Grand Canyon and out in the Valley of Fire and at a mastermind retreat and with my parents, and I just wasn't going to stress myself out trying to think about how to get to a gym or workout.

00;13;40;09 - 00;14;03;08
Lisa
And I've been doing this long enough to know that taking breaks from working out really changes nothing for me, right? Like I have built the foundation. I am not a newbie, so my body is fine. Everything's fine. Everything is fine. Now, if you're just starting out and you think you can constantly take weeks off, I'm going to say that's probably not going to work because you haven't built the foundational habits.

00;14;03;08 - 00;14;20;15
Lisa
You haven't built the identity around, being someone who is fit and healthy and well, whereas I have. So I always come back to it. So I never worry about taking breaks. But the past, you know, few times that I've worked out, it's been the first time in a very, very long time that I've gone into the gym without a plan.

00;14;20;17 - 00;14;40;02
Lisa
I don't have someone creating my workouts for me. I'm back on my own now. Again, this is something I'm more than capable of creating. Was a personal trainer for many years. This is part of my skill set and then working with my coach for so many years, I learned a tremendous amount from her as well, and I've got workouts that I can pull from, but it's also knowing that I can't be consistent.

00;14;40;02 - 00;14;58;23
Lisa
So I'm in the gym for this week, and then I'm going to be on a plane again for Bali on Sunday. So and I don't know what the gym scenario is going to be there. I'm traveling with my young son and a girlfriend, so, you know, it might just be bodyweight exercises in the hotel room. I don't know, I don't know, I haven't even gotten that far.

00;14;58;29 - 00;15;24;11
Lisa
But that's the whole point of this, is that I have to be okay with letting things go and being flexible, but it's brought up a lot for me because so much of my identity has been wrapped around being an athlete and being this committed, disciplined person and focusing on specific things that I'm doing to create an outcome. But there's no outcome I'm trying to create right now.

00;15;24;19 - 00;15;46;19
Lisa
There's no end destination that I'm trying to get to. There's no goal other than getting into the gym to work out, to feel great. I'm not trying to create anything, and I have just been so hyper aware of how incredibly uncomfortable that feels, because the part of my identity that's like, this isn't what we do. We have a plan.

00;15;46;23 - 00;16;19;25
Lisa
So we follow the plan. We take the boxes, we stay committed. This feels very like loosey goosey and, non-committal. But here's the thing I am still very committed and disciplined. I'm just committed and disciplined to different things. This year, I'm committed to, letting go. Did you hear that? Exhale. I'm committed to letting go. I'm committed to having more freedom.

00;16;19;28 - 00;16;41;25
Lisa
Now, I'm not saying that tracking my macros takes away my freedom because it doesn't. It actually gives me a lot of freedom because I know the outcome that I'm going to get. But as I said, the freedom to trust myself, to know how to make decisions so that I can still look and feel my best and ultimately.

00;16;41;28 - 00;17;09;24
Lisa
My body is like not the most important thing about me. So I'm even looking at the attachment that I have to it looking a certain way. And I think part of the dismantling of this started with having my implants out and really checking with myself, so I'm not pooping on it. Everybody gets to look and feel however they want, and I certainly like a specific look and feel.

00;17;10;01 - 00;17;38;27
Lisa
But can I be okay if my body doesn't look like that for this year? Maybe longer because it ultimately doesn't matter. So do I want to be fit and healthy and in great shape, moving into the future years of my life? Yes, that will always be a priority. My health and well-being will always be a priority. Setting myself up to live a very full life into my 70s, 80s and beyond is a priority.

00;17;39;00 - 00;18;16;24
Lisa
But specifically how it looks is not this year, and it has been a priority over the past couple years because that's what my sport of bodybuilding is all about. So really releasing the identity and the attachment to that part of it, because of the commitment to traveling and seeing the world. So this has also brought up feelings of like, well, am I a fraud because people have been following me for this specific reason and they love you know, I know a lot of you love to watch how, you know, I go after and do the hard things.

00;18;16;24 - 00;18;38;11
Lisa
I know that inspires a lot of you because I am so dedicated and I am so committed, and I feel like I'm in this space now of like, well, what does it look like to be on the other side of that and exploring that side of the coin? Because again, like, how do we define committed? How do we define discipline?

00;18;38;11 - 00;19;00;05
Lisa
Because at the end of the day, it's about you making choices that serve the life that you want to be living. So to keep doing things that aren't serving your higher calling or your higher purpose, or feeling the way you want to feel in your life, you don't get an extra brownie badge for being committed to shit that just really doesn't make a difference.

00;19;00;08 - 00;19;34;24
Lisa
So again, it's a space of like both. And so looking at, well, what are people going to think if all of a sudden this isn't a priority for me? So I want to be clear it is still a priority. It just looks really, really different now. And it's less about how you guys might judge me. This is more of the internal judgment that I'm facing within myself and how I am making peace with that, and how I'm working with these different kind of parts of my psyche so that everybody's needs are getting met.

00;19;35;01 - 00;19;58;23
Lisa
But I'm telling you, like after being so regimented for so many years, the discomfort as I let stuff go and not make it mean anything is real, you know, to not be getting up at 415 every morning and like jumping out of bed when the alarm goes off is very different for me to allow myself to enjoy slow paced mornings.

00;19;58;23 - 00;20;30;10
Lisa
You know, if you follow me on Instagram, you know my cat Simon. He is like he's just about presence and love and he loves to cuddle up and purr. And in the mornings he loves to like, spoon me under the covers and he just lives there and purrs. And I just love that time of just being present. And so in the moment and enjoying that love and the cuddles and how often, you know, life was moving so quickly because I had so many things that I needed to prioritize in my day.

00;20;30;10 - 00;20;53;21
Lisa
And now I want to prioritize more peace, more joy, more slowness, more ease, while still having these hard things that I'm doing. It just look, it's different. So I want you to really consider what in your life you've been committed to. Do you still really want to be committed to those things? So I talk a lot about with my clients how they can do less better.

00;20;53;21 - 00;21;15;22
Lisa
And it is taking an inventory of your life and saying, like, what things are you doing that you don't even really want to be doing, that you've never checked in to see if they're in alignment for you, or if they need to be adjusted or tweaked. Can we soften the edges on them? Can we change things up? So just like I said, with with my workouts, I'm still working out, I'm still eating healthy, but I'm just kind of smoothing out the edges for right now.

00;21;15;22 - 00;21;30;24
Lisa
And who knows, by next year I might be back to tracking and working with my coach again, because I really do love it. It's just not the right season for me to be committed to it. So.

00;21;30;27 - 00;21;58;02
Lisa
Yeah, it's a very, very fascinating time in my life. And that's kind of why I wanted to bring you behind the scenes of what's going on. So and also truly appreciating the years of work that I put into building the foundation so I can confidently take time off of the gym so I can confidently take time off of tracking my macros and still feel incredibly confident that I'm going to.

00;21;58;07 - 00;22;20;22
Lisa
I'm going to feel amazing. I'm going to feel amazing. It just it just is. Right. Like that's really powerful. And that's the power of creating those habits. It's not that you grip tightly to them til death do you part. It's how how much you're willing to trust yourself with those habits and know you're going to be okay.

00;22;20;22 - 00;22;39;17
Lisa
Because if we get attached to anything, I think it's the Buddha that says the root of all suffering is attachment. And let me tell you, that has been my lesson over the past year is what else am I attached to? What else can I let go? So to dive into this a little bit further. So as I said, this is a big year of travel for me.

00;22;39;17 - 00;23;06;09
Lisa
I will be traveling around the globe. I've got, as I said, trip to Bali, going on an African safari. I'm going to be heading over to Peru. I'll be making it over to Australia for a very short stint. Yeah. It's just it's an epic year and travel is something I've dreamed of my whole life. And I remember one of my girlfriends gave me a scratch map.

00;23;06;09 - 00;23;29;19
Lisa
It was a map of the world, and you could scratch off all the places to go to give it to me for my birthday. And I took it out of the wrapping and I just I burst into tears because at the time, you know, I was struggling so much in my business. I did not have the financial means, and travel felt like this cruel joke that the universe was playing on me to show me, like, here, you want this thing, Lisa, but you can't have it.

00;23;29;21 - 00;23;55;16
Lisa
And I rolled that map up and stuck it in the back of my closet because I just. I didn't believe it would ever be possible for me. So fast forward to this year and it is possible. And I'm doing it in a year that feels a little bit edgy, because I've definitely had better years in terms of profitability in my business, but I have done so much work around my mindset, around my money.

00;23;55;16 - 00;24;14;10
Lisa
I've done so much work around, just managing my money really well that I've put myself in a position to be able to do this, even though, you know, other people might be like, oh, this is the year that you really should be focusing on growing your business. And I'm looking at it as well. I can do both, I can do both, and everything's going to be fine.

00;24;14;10 - 00;24;34;00
Lisa
Regardless why I'm telling you this story is there's never going to be a good time. So your dreams are waiting for you and it is your job. Like if if you have this vision of what you want that was given to you for a reason, what is meant for you will not miss you. But so often we keep those dreams at like arm's length.

00;24;34;00 - 00;24;49;20
Lisa
So I always had a reason why I couldn't do this. I always had a reason why I couldn't travel, you know? No money, no this, no, that. The kids started at the door and now I'm looking at it and realizing I could have always done it. I could have always figured out a way. But there were other things that were holding me back.

00;24;49;23 - 00;25;13;23
Lisa
And the truth was, the things that were holding me back were my attachment to my safety and my security and my so-called safety and security of my safe home. Truth be told, I'm slightly terrified of traveling solo. I've never even been overseas before, so this is a big deal for me. I'll be spending, you know, a month, in Europe with some people I know and some solo and some with people.

00;25;13;23 - 00;25;32;03
Lisa
It's going to be a great combination. But recognizing, you know, I was even using my partnership as a reason why I couldn't go, you know, because he wasn't in a position to to travel with me. So, you know, of course, I had to wait for him because who would I be if I was leaving him behind? And then the kid's right.

00;25;32;03 - 00;25;56;23
Lisa
Like, I can't go without the kids. And the truth is, I can't travel without my kids, and they will be okay with me being gone. They may not love every moment of it. And nowadays the world is so small. If I can connect with clients from around the world, I can certainly connect with my children. And when I think about people who have to leave their kids that don't have a choice, like people in the military, kids are resilient.

00;25;56;23 - 00;26;18;15
Lisa
Everything will work out as long as they know that they are loved. And my kids know that. I love that my 12 year old will be totally fine with me being gone. He's probably going to be super excited about, you know, pizza and movie nights with his dad. But it is it is literally taken me till now, and a lot of things happening in my world for me to finally say, okay, like I'm going to do this.

00;26;18;17 - 00;26;44;24
Lisa
And also recognizing that even when 2024 comes to a close, that doesn't mean like I'm done and I never travel again. This is just the start for me. How I can incorporate this more into my life and my business and even, you know, going back to the surrender and going with the flow, I've always, you know, I know we talk about this laptop lifestyle, at least online entrepreneurs do.

00;26;44;27 - 00;27;02;01
Lisa
It's never been something I've really strived for. I when I go on vacation, I want to be on vacation. I love my work, but I want to be on vacation from my work. But this year I'm really challenging myself. Well, what does it look like to work from different parts of the world? I will be working when I am in Europe.

00;27;02;03 - 00;27;30;05
Lisa
My trip to Bali is absolutely a vacation, but when I am doing my other travels, I will be talking to clients. I will be still working, combining both to see what that feels like. If I can make that shift. Because the truth is, I do have the freedom to live and work from wherever I want in the world, and I've never really given myself permission to take full advantage of it because again, I'm so attached to the routine, the schedule.

00;27;30;13 - 00;27;51;05
Lisa
This is the way I like to do things. It's breaking down another layer of control. So even though I've released a lot of my controlling parts, many of the women that I work with have this kind of control or part. They want to, like, manage everything, because it does give us that sense of certainty and security and safety.

00;27;51;08 - 00;28;15;09
Lisa
This is like next level of letting that go, because the truth is, we don't have control over anything. Now, if you draw a circle outside of your feet, everything inside the circle you can be responsible for. But even with inside that circle, you cannot control everything. Like you can't control your thoughts. I've never been able to control my thoughts, and nobody can, but I can be responsible for it.

00;28;15;11 - 00;28;39;09
Lisa
So looking at what you know, what I'm trying to control out there, and can I actually be more grounded in the fact that my safety and my security comes from inside me, and how I choose to show up in the world, and the more I can detach from things, the more I can detach from, you know, people, places, belongings.

00;28;39;12 - 00;28;59;17
Lisa
Right? Like, I've looked at my home and I'm like, oh, no wonder I don't want to go anywhere. All these things give me this, this sense of safety. Yet at the end of the day, do any of them really matter? So this is where I am at right now. It's kind of crazy time. So.

00;28;59;19 - 00;29;19;18
Lisa
I just wanted to be able to come in and on the podcast and share with you guys a little bit more deeply. And I also wanted to share with you, you know, how I can support you if you're going through your own kind of period of upheaval and change, where you're starting to question things in your life, you know, you're happy ish.

00;29;19;20 - 00;29;48;00
Lisa
So I see my clients are happy ish. They're successful. But that success is kind of a little bit empty because they're still not really living in the way they want to live. And that's why I have talked about this year for me being a year of reclamation, like really claiming the things that I want in my life, feeling the way I want to feel and challenging myself to let go of the parts of me that are still holding me hostage.

00;29;48;03 - 00;30;09;16
Lisa
And again, this this part around being super committed and super disciplined and super regimented. I love that part of me. And you can also be a bit of a bully. So what does it look like to allow the part of me that wants to just go with the flow more, to take more of a leading role this year, because there is space for both of those parts.

00;30;09;18 - 00;30;32;02
Lisa
And listen, you've got a lot of parts in you as well. So I've opened up space on my calendar starting in April for some new 1 to 1 clients to come into my world in what I'm calling, reclamation. So I will put the link down below for you to find out more about that. This program has, you know, a couple tiers.

00;30;32;02 - 00;30;56;23
Lisa
We've got the high level 1 to 1 coaching, with a group element. Because what I have found and what I know to be true for myself, is when I'm in a small, intimate group of other women who are doing epic things in the world, who also are struggling with things in the world, there is so much to be learned when we're willing to open up and be vulnerable, especially because that's not second nature for my people.

00;30;56;23 - 00;31;17;13
Lisa
It certainly wasn't second nature for me, but now it's something that I really pride myself on, leading from that place of being open and being vulnerable because it invites other people to have the courage to do the same. So we've got the high level 1 to 1, but there's also an opportunity to just be on those group calls and be part of that package as well.

00;31;17;16 - 00;31;53;16
Lisa
So that's something that we can discuss it. There's a whole bunch of different things that includes, and it will really support you. On moving from happy ish to feeling truly happy, truly fulfilled, and really proud of yourself for the changes that you've made in your life. Who doesn't want more pieces and fulfillment? Who doesn't want to feel like they're not, having to be responsible for all the things all the time and allowing them to be more focused and responsible on the things that truly matter to them.

00;31;53;16 - 00;32;20;09
Lisa
Right. Making yourself a priority. And that's really what a reclamation year is about, is choosing to make yourself a priority and being responsible for the choices you've been making that have been not allowing you to be a priority. So we all put all that information for you in the show notes as well. I will be talking to my subscribers regularly on my newsletter, keeping them up to date on my travels.

00;32;20;09 - 00;32;50;15
Lisa
And of course, if you're following me on Instagram, I'll be on Instagram Stories, sharing along the way as well. It's going to be an absolutely epic year. I'm sure it will be filled with many, many lessons and expansion. Probably some tears and tantrums as well. And I will be doing what I do best, which is sharing honestly and vulnerably about what what is happening for me in those moments.

00;32;50;15 - 00;33;17;03
Lisa
So this is a season of massive, massive change, and you're going to be seeing a lot of different changes within my business and how I talk about things in a different way. And this is this is life, right? This is life. We are always changing and growing. So I want you to consider what parts of your identity that you are again attached to, that are holding you back from maybe stepping into more of what you want?

00;33;17;03 - 00;33;52;04
Lisa
Because I can definitely see in my world how that has been the case. And I am in the trenches of expanding my capacity for the discomfort around this as I put those parts of me kind of in the back backseat. There are going to be backseat drivers for right now, so I hope you have enjoyed this episode. I know I bounced around quite a bit, but again, you know, going back to the fact that when I started this podcast, that's what this platform was for, for me to just come in and speak freely, without judgment, without trying to mark my words or say the right thing.

00;33;52;06 - 00;34;15;22
Lisa
And I'm just I'm really coming home to that in a in an even deeper way now. So I'm still going to be having a lot of guest experts on, because there's so many phenomenal people that I've met along the way that I truly want to share with you. If you've been a listener from the beginning, congratulations for thousands of hours of listening to me, I hope you have gained a tremendous amount of value.

00;34;15;22 - 00;34;38;19
Lisa
If you're new listener, I look forward to sharing more content moving forward. And don't be afraid to go back into previous episodes. There's a lot of gold in some of the previous episodes as well. So on that note, I will be back with another episode very soon I'm sure. Another solo episode very soon. Take really good care of yourself.

00;34;38;22 - 00;34;53;16
Lisa
You know life can change in an instant. Everything you know can get flipped on its head in an instant, and you get one life sound like an Eminem song. You got one life watch one shot.

00;34;53;18 - 00;35;28;09
Lisa
It's your responsibility to choose to live your life fully. It's your responsibility to go after the things that you want. It's your responsibility to let go of the things that aren't working for you. And the most successful people I know are so tenacious in their efforts to become better versions of themselves. And the women that I work with are prepared to do the work and to invest in themselves, and that's why they get the results that they get.

00;35;28;09 - 00;35;52;12
Lisa
That's why I've created the success I've created. Because when life starts laughing, I don't just roll over and look for excuses as to why I get to stay stuck and be a victim of my circumstances. I have time after time after time, stepped up to the plate and said, okay, let's go. Even when I didn't know how I was going to make it work, how was going to pay for it, how I was going to find the time I showed up for myself.

00;35;52;15 - 00;36;23;29
Lisa
And when you show up for yourself like that, you're the it's the best possible investment you could ever make. Because what is your life worth to you? What is living your best life worth to you? So even with this year travel, I'm not really sure how I'm going to make it all work, but I know that I am no longer willing to put off living because of other circumstances, because I've had enough things happen in my world to know that everything always works out exactly as it's meant to, and I will always be okay.

00;36;24;05 - 00;36;48;18
Lisa
And so will you, right? So check out the show notes for all the different things that I mentioned. I will catch you on a future episode. Take good care of you.
