Conversations with Lisa

Join Lisa as she takes you on a four-part journey through the creation of Harvest - her story of grief and love and the harvest she has reaped. 

Discovering, writing, sharing your story is a heck of a journey but then what happens when it is in the world?

In this episode Lisa shares the ripple effects since she performed Harvest. 

Not only did the process of creating it transform Lisa, but the feedback from those in the room has blown her away. The simple act of deep connection through story-telling has been a powerful reminder of what women are seeking at this moment in time. 

In a world saturated with superficial content, Lisa is passionate about rekindling the magical art of story-telling because it is medicine for all.

Join Lisa as she takes you on a four-part journey through the creation of Harvest - her story of grief and love and the harvest she has reaped. 

In this episode, Lisa dives into the experience of sharing her personal story on stage.

She opens up about the doubts and fears she had leading up to the moment of sharing, questioning if anyone would care or find it enjoyable. Lisa reflects on the vulnerability and uncertainty she felt, contemplating the possibility of public embarrassment or wanting to stop midway!

Despite her concerns, her conviction in the need to tell the story got her onto that stage. And she’s so glad she did.

Part Four unveils the ripple effect of Harvest. Listen now.

In Part Two Lisa dives into the writing process. With a venue booked, it had to get done but it was not a process without challenge! 

Throw in serious procrastination, heartbreak, venue glitches, last-minute tweaking - it was Messy with a capital M! 

But it got done. As she knew it would. 

This episode is about the healing power of finding and writing a story that connects. 

In Part Three Lisa takes the stage - listen now.

Join Lisa as she takes you on a four-part journey through the creation of Harvest - her story of grief and love and the harvest she has reaped. 

In Part One she delves into the art of figuring out what the story actually is. 

Everyone has life events that shape them, everyone has a story - but how do you find it? A former boss was instrumental in Lisa becoming the story-teller she is today and she shares the question that he asked her relentlessly in her time as a journalist and TV producer. 

Lisa delivered Harvest as a spoken-word event and in this episode, she reveals exactly why. 

Tune in to Part Two as she shares more about the writing process, the events that were unfolding behind the scenes, and what it felt like to write her story. 

This International Women’s Day Lisa is celebrating by sharing a frank and honest discussion with two of her favourite people.

Amy Taylor-Kabbaz and Samantha Sutherland are powerhouse women creating big waves in women’s well-being circles.

Amy is an Author and the founder of Mama Rising, the first Matrescence certification of its kind. She has broken new ground in our understanding and literacy of motherhood.

Sam is a sought-after Facilitator and Speaker whose mission is to assist women to lead fulfilling and joyful lives. She works with corporations on removing work barriers and with individual women on the systematic barriers they face each and every day.

In this conversation, you’ll hear anger, rage, hope, laughter, optimism, and sisterhood.

They discuss why they’re angry about where women are at right now, why it’s boring to still be angry about this stuff, and why there’s so much to look forward to in the coming years.

The system is rigged against women and when we are aware of that and can see ourselves as part of this rigged system - then we can create change.

It’s a juicy discussion. Share with your friends in solidarity and Happy International Women’s Day!

In today's episode, Lisa shares three things she's learned and tried whilst parenting her son through his transition to High School.

Listen in for:

- The one thing she has done that her son told her was 'all he needed'

- The time she made a mistake attempting to snap him out of a spiral!

- When too much resilience building can lead to losing your essence and how to protect it.

- How 'Kevin and James' gave her son a framework to figure out the complex truth that we are not our thoughts, we are the thinker of our thoughts.

Parents need each other and the sharing of ideas is what it's all about. If this episode helps you - go ahead and share it with others who need tips and tricks for navigating transitions.

This episode is for anyone who is waiting for people or particular circumstances around them to change before they can focus on and prioritise themselves.

It’s for anyone who needs everything and everyone to be OK before they can focus on themselves.

This episode explores why New Year's Resolutions will continue to fail for you until you fully grasp the role radical personal responsibility has in creating change that sticks.

When you set a New Year’s Resolution you do it from your current identity. And for many women, that’s from the identity of someone who has ‘tried change before’ and ended up back in the same old patterns.

If that’s who you identify as this episode is for you.

It’s critical that your identity shifts and there are easy ways to do that! Lisa shares the powerful approach to behaviour change that underpins all her work and why it’s so effective.

If your resolutions involve denial, restriction, force, or anything hard then this episode will break down exactly why that’s a big mistake and how to counteract it.

No human wants life to be harder than it is. But there’s ways to get moving on new habits that, initially, might feel difficult and require more of you.

Lisa uses the example of her weights routine.

You’ll love this episode!

We all know it’s not enough to simply ‘want’ something to change.

We know that it takes more than that and YET we continue to take a ‘set and forget’ vibe with New Year’s Resolutions.

Saying what you want is only one tiny piece of the puzzle.

Find out how to support your brain too create the change you desire in this episode.

In this episode, Lisa shares a super common mistake most people make with their resolutions.

They simply ‘add it to their list’ without doing something super important at the same time. This short episode will remind you that you don’t have endless capacity and give you a simple solution for setting yourself up for success.

It’s a bit strange that the most common ‘model for change’ that we know of - the good ol’ New Year's Resolution - fails time after time after time and yet, we keep doing it!

Kind of like diets - people keep doing them and they don’t actually work for the long term.

While intention setting, getting clear on what we want, and aligning our actions to that is absolutely awesome, it’s also only a very small part of what it takes to create meaningful change.

In this episode, Lisa breaks down exactly why New Year’s Resolutions are problematic. If you have felt like a failure because by February you are back in your same habits or you’re procrastinating on making positive changes - this episode is for you!

Are you caught in the trap of Mother’s Guilt?

Where you never feel like you’re doing enough for your kids - or doing it RIGHT?

In this episode, Lisa will have you thinking about mother’s guilt in a brand new way and perhaps make you rethink your use of the term entirely!

What a relief!

She also offers four mantras that she uses to help her move through feelings of guilt when they arise. And normalises the learning of lessons in parenthood and MOVING ON!

Mother’s guilt can feel like a ‘normal’ way of being - but it doesn’t have to be.

Do you go into festive season autopilot? Are you always overwhelmed and frantic in December? Are you conscious to where you might be able to choose differently?

In this thought-provoking episode Lisa encourages you to strip off what’s not working for you this December and try something new on. There’s no rule to say you have to hit Boxing Day completely fried!

What do you want to create? What needs to stop?

Listen in for a stack of ideas for things to try on this festive season.

In her recent Survey on Women Lisa was fascinated by the results on sexual satisfaction.

With 69.3% of women claiming their sexual satisfaction levels as

Learn simple ways to try sexy back on (no matter how long it’s been!) in this episode.

In this episode, Lisa explores how simple tweaks to your morning can completely reframe how you feel throughout the day. And how when we do this, consistently, we end up creating a completely new identity - which is the most powerful way to change your behaviour long-term!

Listen in as she shares how to make your morning coffee or tea or smoothie or water - MATTER!

The simplest things are often the most powerful.

This episode is all about rules that are made to be broken.

It’s about finding your way back to fun and joy and not taking everything to seriously.

It’s about dancing to the beat of your own drum and the opportunity we all have to reset and light the fire within ourselves again.

Don’t miss your opportunity to Reignite with Lisa starting Monday!

Two weeks, five new tools for a brand new season

Like many people, Lisa has found 2022 to be a bumpy year for a load of different reasons. In this episode, she shares what’s been going on behind the scenes and gets honest about what has helped the most.

As someone who has spent well over six figures on personal development and coaching and masterminding - Lisa moved away from that stuff this year to do completely different work on herself.

Gentler, quieter, more personal. Getting her to a more grounded, more honest, much more aligned position in her work and her personal life.

It hasn’t felt sexy or explosive - it’s been revelatory and often quite tiring.

But it has helped.

In an exclusive, live, two-week experience Lisa is sharing five tools she’s picked up along the way that helped her use her voice again, trust her inner knowing, honour the season she was in, dream bigger than she ever has (and take action towards things that REALLY matter) and meet herself lovingly in the messy middle.

Want five brand new tools for your toolbox and help and support to implement them?

In Lisa’s recent Survey on Women, a few things became super clear.

One is that women want to be spending less time on screens and they want to be spending MORE time on things they enjoy.

There are so many women are trying to manage.

There are so many demands on our time.

But when you listen to the stats in this episode about the amount of hours that women are spending on their devices outside of work and the chronic lack of spare time they feel they get - it’s a wake-up call on our digital habits.

The data is rolling in from Lisa's Survey on Women 2022 and the results are fascinating!

It's been clear for a while that the last few years had a massive impact on women everywhere and there was some interesting data collected throughout lockdowns but where are we now?

What’s changed?

As women - where are we lacking support? How are we spending our free time? How satisfied are we with our sex lives and just how tired are we?

Listen in as Lisa shares some preliminary findings.

And make sure you have your say!

Lisa has been getting conscious recently of where her thoughts are going.

Spending a day or two taking a ‘thought inventory’ is a super powerful way to illuminate thought patterns that aren’t serving you.

Where are my thoughts going?

Why is this in my head?

Why is this thought continuing to consume me?

If you ruminate on the past or worry about the future and struggle to be present with what’s right here and now then you’re going to love this episode!

For many years Lisa was detached completely from the concept of ‘pleasure’. She made three humans in five years and her body didn’t feel like her own. She was supporting her husband through recovery. She was running a business and became the sole-income earner for her family.

Life wasn’t bad, but it was adrenaline fuelled. And unsustainable.

The concept of life feeling ‘pleasurable’ or seeking pleasure for pleasure’s sake was not part of her reality!

But she chose to change that, intentionally and found deep personal and relational satisfaction through experiencing and expecting and inviting pleasure into her life.

What to lose!?

Listen to this episode as she shares about her now default ‘Pleasure Quotient’ so you can create one too!

It’s a funny thing, this fast-paced life we live.

Let’s be real - it doesn’t work for many people does it!

But there’s a benefit that Lisa wasn’t aware of until she came across the BO Analogy.

Listen to this episode and see if the analogy applies to you and your life.

It certainly offered Lisa some breakthrough moments!

Last Spring Lisa was still under intense lockdown restrictions in her home in Melbourne (like so many people were in Australia and around the world) and while these restrictions have been gone for a while, Lisa didn’t feel like she returned back to her ‘normal’ self.

There is no doubt that this pandemic has changed so much, for most people, and the dust is still settling. Who are we, what do we REALLY want, what’s working, what isn’t?

Lisa has been doing lots of reflecting on these kinds of questions and feeling her way into how she wants to work as her family enters a new stage of life.

She explores all this in today’s episode and shares that she is offering her most popular program, Ready for Change, at a sale price, one last time. For three days only.

Don’t miss it!

Three years on from the shocking death of her former husband, Lisa reveals where things are at.

Sharing honestly about Father’s Day, when she misses Nick most, when he comes alive for her, the ways in which his death impacts the kids, why 2022 is the first year in which a ‘normal life’ felt possible and the best thing to have come out of the past three years (the answer might surprise you).

If you are experiencing a hard season, then this episode will both validate and inspire you. Big love = big grief and big growth.
