"The women I love and admire for their strength and grace did not get that way because shit worked out. They got that way because shit went wrong and they handled it.

Those women are my superheroes." - Elizabeth GilbertListen in on a conversation I have with my superhero Sam Sutherland - just two friends having an open, honest, JUICY chat on what we learned about marriage, things we'd do differently and ...

Trust enough to take your foot off the peddle for a bit...As you know from my previous episode, I experienced all the feels last year. I was without energy, disconnected from my purpose, from myself.

Sharing with you what I learned having been on this intentional, scary yet hugely liberating break where I decided to really just check out. And so many good th...

Over the weekend something happened that put me in a total spin. Well, for about fifteen minutes...You see, I'd planned a weekend away. A weekend without children, without agenda. Just for me.As a solo-parent I don't get a lot of that. Though let's face it, even parenting with someone, these moments of solitude are often few and far between for many.But I had a plan. My parents were taking the kids for two nights and I was giddy with excitement.In fact, I don't think I even realised how giddy I ...

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 when things really began to unravel that I had to get radically honest with myself.I was sleepwalking through my life, not willing to go deeper or scratch beneath the surface because I was so scared...

I'm done with the idea that we must sacrifice all for the people around us, at a massive cost to our health and wellbeing.In this episode I share why I hate the word 'selfish' and why you should banish it from your vocabulary!Links:The Conversations With Lisa playlistContinue the convers...

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 (especially if it's not working for you and your family)?... Who wrote the rules about what our lives are "supposed" to look like?... And what other areas of our lives are we subconsciously following these "rules"...
