In this deeply honest and empowering episode of A Life Worth Being, host Sue Willoughby welcomes authenticity coach, author, and podcast host Lisa Kirkman for a raw conversation about identity, courage, and rewriting your life story—literally.
Lisa came out as a lesbian at 46 after decades of living behind roles, expectations, and a perfectly curated life. She shares her journey from feeling "dead inside" to stepping into her most unapologetic, vibrant self. Together, Sue and Lisa explore what it really means to burn the script—to stop living by someone else’s rules and start creating a life that aligns with your truth.
Whether you're navigating midlife, facing a major life transition, or simply tired of living inauthentically, this episode will light a fire under you. Expect powerful takeaways on self-awareness, boundaries, emotional healing, and the art of letting go.
✨ Topics we cover:
-
Why people-pleasing keeps us stuck
-
What happens when we ignore our truth for too long
-
The mind-body connection of living out of alignment
-
How horses and Reiki help us return to our bodies
-
Steps to reclaim your identity and build a life you actually want
👣 Tiny steps. Big shifts. Radical self-trust. Let this be your permission slip to start again—your way.
