Have you ever marveled at the unbridled curiosity and fearlessness of children as they embark on new adventures and constantly learn from their mistakes? I know I have, and it’s an inspiration that we can all tap into at any stage of our life.
This episode is a voyage into the realm of possibilities that opens up when we reignite the childlike spirit of wonder within us to dream and reinvent ourselves. Together with Lisa, a Coach and mother of two, we explore the joy in appreciating the simple things, and how it all contributes to creating an awesome life.
Do you remember the last time you allowed yourself to dream big? Lisa does, and she takes us through her personal journey of embracing simplicity and dreaming again.
It may seem challenging to reconcile the pursuit of a simple life with the ambition for abundance, but Lisa's insights can help us navigate this paradox. By understanding and aligning with our values, we can move past feeling stuck to create the life we truly desire.
So let's dream again, take inspired action, and manifest the life we've always wanted.

All right well, welcome to the podcast.
As mentioned on our socialmedia platform and we've been
communicating with all of thepeople who follow along with us
on our weekly newsletter.
We've given them the insidertrack and now we're rolling it
out I would like to introduceyou to my new co-host, Lisa
Sarnowski.
Hello, co-host, it's soofficial.
(01:33):
Yeah, welcome.
You're kind of a big deal, allright.
Well, for all of the listenerswho've heard you on the podcast
before, thank you so much forlistening.
But for all of the newlisteners who maybe haven't
gotten to know you, lisa, orheard about you, can you do a
quick intro?
Just maybe tell a little bitabout yourself, because I love
(01:55):
you, but I'd love for all of ourlisteners to fall in love with
you as well.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
No pressure, I know.
Okay, let's see a little bitabout me.
I have been coaching for 14years.
I started in the holistichealth and wellness space and
then I moved to the onlinecoaching business coaching space
and then, most recently, I'vebeen business coaching a lot of
people across industries.
I am married and I have twokids.
(02:23):
We live over in Milwaukee, inBayview, and most recently we
are officially Globetrotters.
We have actually done someinternational travel with the
kids now, which has been superfun.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Very cool.
I love it.
So we're both moms, we're bothstarting to wrap up summer and a
lot of our listeners have kidsas well.
Any advice, being the brilliantwoman that you are, for those
who have children, who areheaded back to school pretty
soon.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh, breathe, we are right there with you.
The timeline is real.
I know we've seen the memes andthe social media posts go out
that you only have 18 summerswith your kids and you have this
timeline.
I like to think that we get tohave whatever time we want with
our kids, and that doesn't haveto look traditional.
(03:18):
So school is coming.
That's wonderful.
I also think that we can chooseto embrace school how we want,
but I think education might be atopic for a different day.
So parents, moms, we got youBreathe into it.
A good menu plan can go a longway.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Ooh, that might be a topic for another podcast as
well.
Yes, Lisa definitely is theperson who taught me how to make
dinners, so you have to learnfrom you, like I did.
All right, well, as we are goinginto this new season of the
Paradigm you podcast, we aregoing to be covering a lot of
(04:00):
different topics and two of themthat we potentially just added
just in the last few minutes ofthis conversation over the
course of the next few weeks andmonths, but today I would
really like to talk about ourkids going back to school and
what that looks like for all ofthe parents and, quite frankly,
all of us who have that innerchild still nested within.
(04:22):
Lisa, can you talk to me alittle bit about what your
thoughts are when I say kids aregoing back and we have that
inner child that's in us.
That is probably coming out orbubbling up in some way?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, Do you remember back to school?
I remember there's this line inYou've Got Mail and Meg Ryan
talks about the smell of abouquet of freshly sharpened
pencils.
And I think of that becausewhen I go into a store and I'm
buying their school supplies, Ilove it.
It's just such an exciting timebecause and you can see the
little wonder in their eyes Notall of them might be excited for
(04:59):
one reason or another, butthere's a wonder, there's a
curiosity there, and recently Iwas thinking and I know we were
talking about it April aboutwhere does that sense of wonder
and dreaming go?
As an adult, Like we've had,we've dreamt our whole life.
(05:20):
We were encouraged to dream.
How many times as a kidyourself, were you asked what
are you going to be when yougrow up?
The answer to that for me is Istill don't know.
But yeah, I love to look attheir little sense of wonder and
curiosity and I really like tobring that into coaching because
(05:41):
as adults, I feel like that hasfaded for us, whether that's
because of our environment,whether it's because we're
adults.
Our head is down.
We have so much moreresponsibility.
You know, I think my parentsmade it look so easy.
When I look back at all theywere doing and really there's a
(06:03):
lot there, especially in ourworld today.
There's a lot flying at us asparents.
So adults, I think we can alllearn from our kids this time of
year.
They're jumping into a newclassroom or with a new teacher.
They're going to be hanging outwith new students and learning
a lot of new things, andcontinuing to fail while doing
it.
And when was the last time wedid that, you know?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
so that's what's been on my heart lately, and Lisa,
can you tell me, oh gosh, sorry,alarms that say drink water.
Actually that was a bus alarm.
Oh man, how did that alreadystart?
The buses are about to startcoming.
Preemptive alarm for buses in acouple of weeks.
(06:46):
But, Lisa, can you tell me whenyou think about that?
When do you think you?
Do you feel like you stoppeddreaming a little bit and
started putting your head down,or do you feel like your head is
up and you're still big eyedand full of wonder?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
who big eyed in full of wonder.
I think I'm that now, but whenI do look back, you know, in my
20s and late 20s for those ofyou that don't know me well I
lived abroad with my husband fora few years and that's when I
got into coaching and I wasactually commuted from Scotland
to New York City once a monthbecause that was before online
(07:25):
learning.
So I'm aging myself a littlebit here, but it was a slow burn
.
It was after I had my first sonand, yes, I had my own coaching
practice and, yes, I had otherresponsibilities or fun things
to do, but slowly but surely itwas like my whole life became
about my kids.
My whole life became about myfamily, and that's not to say
(07:48):
that that's bad.
I love being with my family.
They're amazing each one ofthem.
But it is to say that I startedputting so much time, effort
and energy into coaching theseyoung little people to see what
they wanted in life and whatthey wanted to experience and
what dreams they have right nowand how I can foster and engage
(08:08):
that development for them, thatI lost sight of asking those
same questions in myself, and Ithink that's common, right.
Like I look around and I can'ttell you.
I've had so many conversationsrecently with women in a certain
season of life and it justseems like they're stuck.
(08:29):
It seems like I keep hearingthese conversations of I don't
even know what now like is thisall there is?
And I feel that deeply in mybones because I definitely was
there.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
What got you out of there?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Ooh, good question, april, with the zingers today.
What got me out of there?
Well, a few things.
The first was just theawareness of it.
I have a vivid, vivid memory.
I could take you to the exactspot in my house where I looked
around and I realized I knewthis life.
I knew I would be married to anamazing spouse, that I have a
(09:08):
great relationship that Idefinitely do not take for
granted.
I'm very grateful I have twowonderful kids who make me grow
in ways I never thought possible, and I have this cute little
house.
And my father had passed on.
And I knew, as odd as it sounds,I knew that life.
I knew I'd have all thosethings.
(09:29):
And I remember looking in themirror, going now what I had no
idea, what was past that pointin my life, and to sit down and
to try to vision board or do allthe things people tell you to
do was near impossible, cause Ihad.
I didn't even give myself spaceto dream, to even think what
(09:53):
could even be next, because Ihad essentially gotten
everything in my life.
I had everything I knew hadalready actualized.
So from there, from that space,there's a few actions I took
that we can talk about more.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Whatever, yeah, I would love to talk about that,
but I think that's an importantpiece in recognizing that.
You know, some of us look atour lives and we're like, is
this, it Now what?
They might be feeling likethey're stuck or they can't
(10:33):
imagine anymore.
I know that's a conversationthat my husband and I have often
.
We're like wow, we neverthought we'd be in this position
, let alone what more could weeven imagine or dream about.
But I think, pushing ourselvesto challenge, is that an
(10:54):
identity piece, is that a story?
that we've been holding within,maybe nested At least.
I know.
Tony and I have thoseconversations often of how much
of our belief system and ourenvironment is tied to who we
were as little kids and what wegrew up believing was available
to us.
And now isn't it interesting tothink about?
(11:16):
you know, so Tony and I I don'tknow if you know this, leis we
both from a very, I mean fromwhen we were babies until, you
know, young kids, we both grewup in trailer parks and I did
not know that.
Yeah, we were both, you know,in mobile homes and so realizing
that place of life and thenwatching our families and our
(11:41):
parents grow like you said, theymade it look so easy and now
looking at where we are in ourlife and where we think we're
headed, and then what is thatstorytelling?
Our children?
We can get man.
We can noodle on that for hours, but I think one of the pieces
that's really interesting is atwhat point do you stop dreaming
(12:02):
and do you start?
believing this is all that'savailable.
And are we stuck or we're sodistracted thinking through how
we're going to parent ourchildren that we don't take the
time to actually dream ourselves?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
For you when you said you know.
You got to that point where youlooked around and you're like I
know this life.
I've always known that this isit.
How did you go from that to thegetting the clarity of like
what's next?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah Well, first of all, thank you for sharing
everything.
You and Tony are just man.
You guys are such a greatcouple, just such good role
models for everybody, truly, andan inspiration to me, because
having these conversations andbeing intentional about creating
the life you want is no joke,right?
But having those conversationswith people that don't hold
judgment, right, and that justwant what's best for you, I
(12:58):
think is the flip side to thecoin.
I don't know if you rememberthis, apes, but in it was end of
2018, I believe we went on thatretreat Was it 2018 or 2019
when we rented the B&B and I waslike, whatever entrepreneur
wants to pop in, pop in and work, I'm just gonna rent this place
(13:21):
for the weekend and whatever.
And you came and I remembervividly our conversation.
It was so pivotal for mebecause I was working on my
values.
It was after this conversationwhere I realized my life and I
thought I have a deep, deepvalue of health and yet I was
eating junk and I felt like junkand I slept like junk, and it's
(13:45):
not all big surprise, but so Idove deep into values again and
it was so.
I'll never forget this momentwith you, because we're sitting
in the room and you were pumpingright, because any good mom
entrepreneur like we've beenthere.
We've been pumping orbreastfeeding and having these
conversations with pivotal womenin our life, and I was sharing
(14:08):
with you my values.
And one of the values Ideclared and I owned for myself
was simplicity.
I wanted a simple life and youwent with all the other ones I
forget what they were health,wealth, whatever it was.
You're like yep, yep, yep.
Really, are you sure?
Because that was the year aftermy dad had died and that was
(14:30):
the year I also had declared toyou that I would say yes to
everything in my life.
And you were like that is not agood plan.
And I remember saying, oh, Iknow it's not, but I know it's
gonna flip something for me andit Burned me out so bad that I
was radically desiringsimplicity.
And because of thatconversation with you that
(14:52):
really started it for me.
Because of that conversationwith you, I paid more attention
to particular transformationaland spiritual podcasts I was
listening to.
I joined a particular coachingprogram and I just really put my
head down and tried to allowmyself the space to figure out
what I even wanted in thisseason of life as the person I
(15:15):
was now, because the person I amtoday, it's a version of who
I've always been.
You know, some, some people andsome coaches come out and say,
like reinvent yourself or dothis.
I don't, I don't believe inthat.
I think who you are is insideof you.
It's always been there.
But society, environment, peoplein our lives just consciously
(15:41):
or subconsciously, really dampenthat and we learn, especially
as women.
We learn how to be a chameleon.
We learn how to not use theirvoice.
We learn how to just be quietand passive and sit there and
whatever.
Not all the time.
I got in trouble.
A lot that can be anotherpodcast in school got kicked out
of class for speaking up way,and so that that really
(16:05):
kickstarted the journey for me.
But truly I allowed myself thespace to figure it out and To
not put a timeline on it.
When you're in business, whenyou're a mom, everything's got a
deadline Right.
Everything is like faster,bigger, better.
I didn't want any of that.
I just wanted to allow myselfthe space to figure it out and
(16:26):
allow myself to dream again.
When I did that, then I sat down.
I like to write.
I've had a story in my headthat I'm not a creative writer
and I'm actually a reallyhorrible storyteller that that
is something that I've beenworking through, and so just
Going to the table to sit downand write was interesting and I
(16:48):
really challenged myself to say,okay, who is Lisa 2.0?
Who is this like next levelversion of the woman that I just
really want to become andreally want to be, and in
hindsight it was veryexcruciating in the moment to
sit down and write and yet Iread it now and it's so.
It's just who I've always been,which is really entertaining,
(17:12):
and I put things in there that Ireally at the time never
thought would ever be possible.
Things specifically familycentric, like living up north
for a month.
I remember vividly hearing afamily doing that, thinking what
people do, that I didn't evenknow people did that.
How was that even thing?
And now that's our reality andour kids look forward to it
(17:36):
because we have a place up northand and I also put in their
traveling Europe with the kidsevery summer and we just took
our first trip and it wasamazing.
Oh, it was so cool, and it wasjust when you sit back and allow
yourself to dream again andwhat you were saying before
about you and Tony, like, whatare people even other, what are
(17:58):
other people even doing?
Right, because you just get soinsular in your own world view
that you kind of forget what'seven possible.
And it's also okay to experiment, to say do I like this, do I
not?
So the first year we went upnorth, for example, we went up
for two weeks like, oh, can Ieven handle it?
The answer was yes, and Iwanted more because there's no
(18:23):
internet and I love that.
And so I think allowingyourself to experiment with your
dreams is also kind of fun andit just kind of games.
It a little bit makes it fun,it's less serious.
As adults we just we're soserious and I just want more
play and fun and simplicity.
So but after I wrote that apes,the biggest thing for me was I
(18:49):
didn't believe it.
It was really hard for me.
I sat there and I was like,seriously, what am I allowed to
talk about on this podcast?
Anything?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
You can talk about anything.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Okay.
But I was like, who has thislike crazy, awesome, hot sex
life with their husband?
That's blob up, you know.
Well, the answer is well,that's me now, and a girl you
know, and, and who travelsEurope with their kids.
Actually, I live, we live asimple life.
(19:24):
We live a very lean, simplelife, but that doesn't make it
less abundant, and so learningto understand that an abundant
life for me is really about time, freedom and financial freedom
to be able to do these thingswas equally part of the journey.
But I took what I wrote and Ijust didn't believe it.
(19:44):
But I would read it to myself acouple of times a week and then
it became maybe once a day, andthen I started to kind of
imagine it.
Remember when you were a kid,you just lay on the ground
outside and look up at theclouds and you just dream about
anything Like oh, that cloudlooks like a dinosaur, or I'm
going to go on a trip with mycousin and that'll be amazing.
(20:06):
And I just kind of laid thereand I thought, well, what, I
don't even know what that wouldlook like, a trip to Europe,
where would we go?
What would we do?
And I just started exploring it, and the more I explored it,
the more I felt it, the more Igot excited about it and
everything just transformed fromthere Pretty incredible.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
So, if I'm hearing you correctly, you found
yourself at that stuck seasonwhere you had kind of stopped
dreaming, stopped imagining whatan incredible life could be,
and then you got yourselfunstuck by taking a few
different, aligned actions, andthose actions maybe didn't come
(20:51):
easily at first.
Is that accurate to say?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, so that's a beautiful summary, okay.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Wow, I'm guessing that there's a lot of people who
are listening to this podcastwho can probably relate.
So if you're listening to thispodcast and you're like man, is
that available to me?
Is that available?
Is that type of life availablefor me?
Like, yeah, that sounds amazingto live up north with no
internet for a month, or totravel with your children and
(21:23):
show them parts of the worldthat they would only watch on
YouTube Otherwise.
I was going to say read in abook, and now they're watching
me on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
They sure are.
There's probably some VR setthat puts them there.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Yeah, totally.
But I think, recognizing thatallowing yourself to dream a
little allows you to startcreating and crafting what the
life that you would like to havebecomes.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, you know, and it's a dance for me because I do
really value simplicity.
So doing these things andfiguring out how to do them and
keep my simplicity value intactis a fun challenge for me,
because I like a good challengetoo.
So it was a good way for me touse my brain.
But yeah, that stuck point isreal and I never really
(22:19):
identified what the word stuckso much as stagnant and just
kind of feeling very blah.
I just nothing excited me.
I just was going through themotions and I think there's a
lot of value in that being ableto maintain, being able to
survive and then on the otherside of it, at some point that
(22:43):
stagnation becomes the bigelephant in the room, right Like
that becomes.
The problem is I didn't want mylife anymore.
Truly, I did not want my lifeanymore.
I'm not saying that I wassuicidal, but I am saying that I
hated my life and after thathappened I was like I need to
(23:04):
figure this out.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
And I think a lot of people can relate to that.
They had different seasons oflife.
But recognizing like, yeah,that I've been there, I you know
, that's not speaking to me.
You know, I think a couple ofyears ago I did a podcast
talking about stagnation andthis image of a pond.
And if you imagine a pondthat's just sitting there with
(23:29):
no current going through it, themuck that just starts creeping
in and overtaking that, it justbecomes unbearable and kind of
gross after a while becausethere's no energetic flow.
But if you look at a pond thathas that current running through
it, oftentimes it's got thatfresh water, it's got a change
(23:52):
of scenery on a regular basis,it's got a lot more life that's
coming to it and passing throughit.
And I think you can apply thatto our life as well.
If you're just having thatstagnation or that feeling of
stuckness and you're not takingany kind of action or even
allowing yourself to imaginewhat that action could be,
(24:13):
eventually that muck is justgoing to overtake it and it's
not going to have that lifeenergy running through it.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So that's a powerful visual and that's such a great
one, and I hope the listenersreally pay attention to that
visual.
Because, while I'm talking alittle bit about more planning
in your head and working perhapsmore with your mind, one thing
that I also did on the journeywas I just decided for 90 days
(24:41):
that I was just going to walk.
I had no purpose.
I had literally I'm walking toLake Michigan and back because
our house is fairly close, andit was just to see if I could do
it.
It was just to see if I couldbe committed.
It was just to be in motion,because we can get stuck in our
heads too much, right, and thenI had birds attacking me and all
(25:04):
sorts of funny stories that wecan talk about another day as
well.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
But yeah, I really appreciate you sharing this
because I think a lot of people,myself included, can relate to
this for anyone who's listeningand they're like, yeah, you know
, that's where I'm at right now.
I can totally relate.
What would you recommend arelet's just go with three, what
are like three things thatsomebody could do to get that
(25:31):
movement and that energy kind offlowing.
Again, like, what would yourecommend?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Great question.
So the first thing I would sayis allow yourself the
opportunity to just figure itout and, without a timeline,
allow yourself to dream again.
Lay down on the grass.
If you need to go for a walk,you know it's okay to get out of
(25:57):
your environment.
It's equally okay to just set afive minute timer on your work
day.
The key, though, is just toallow and take your pressure off
of yourself.
This isn't about judging whatyou want or don't want.
No, just pretend you were your44 year old kid self, and what
would that version of you want?
(26:18):
That's kind of exciting.
Also, share with us, because Ireally like to know what
people's dreams are.
Okay, the second I would say issit down and challenge yourself
to either verbally talk it outand record yourself, or I
fundamentally believe in thescience of writing out your 2.0
(26:39):
version of yourself.
So who is this next levelversion that you want to be?
I mean that he or she is insideof you.
They're there, right, and sojust let that person out.
And who does this person hangout with?
What do they do?
What do they like to talk about?
Where do they go?
(27:01):
And then, finally, I would say,play that script in your head as
often as possible.
So if you want to read it toyourself, if you want to
visualize it like, look at itand visualize certain elements
of it every single day,eventually you'll work into
multiple times a day and I thinkeventually it becomes your
(27:22):
state of mind.
It just becomes who you are.
And the coolest part about thethird one is you don't even need
to believe it at first, butjust do yourself the favor of
allowing yourself theopportunity by reading this
amazing 2.0 version of who youare.
Becoming.
So thanks, you know it soundsso simple and on some level it
(27:46):
sounds a little, I don't know,woo-woo, but I'm telling you, as
adults we tend to put andespecially women, we tend to put
everyone first right.
As moms, everyone else comesfirst and we kind of close off
that part of our brain thatdreams.
We close off that part of ourbrain that just allows.
And so I guess part of thealigned actions here is a
(28:09):
challenge to you to just dreamwhat do you want?
And maybe you already know it,which is even cooler because now
it'll happen faster if youwrite it out.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Pretty cool and you have the opportunity, if you're
feeling called, to share it andhave maybe a little
accountability for people torally alongside you.
You're welcome to share that onour social media page Paradigm
U right, absolutely.
That would be super fun to hearwhat other people are imagining
because then you get ideas.
(28:39):
Then you get, you know, you feelthat momentum and that energy
of like, ooh, that's cool, Ihadn't even thought of that one.
Yeah, that's how vast it is,absolutely Very cool.
You know, I tend to dosomething similar and I just ask
myself what would be awesome.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
What would be?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
so cool that would impress me.
It doesn't have to impressanybody else but it has to
impress me, and oftentimes thethings that I think would be
awesome and impress me rarelywould impress or do anything for
anyone else.
So it's a fun game to askyourself what actually does it
for you, Because then you're notlooking outward and saying,
okay, how can I keep up with youknow X, Y or Z person, but it's
(29:20):
what actually would light me up, Isn't it so fun?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That's brilliant, and so if you're listening and
you're getting stuck on theallowing or writing it out, go
back to that question.
That's brilliant, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Yeah, because everybody has something.
That's a completely differentthing.
We're all running a differentrace right, we're all coloring
with different crayons and we'rebuilt with a different game
plan ahead of us, so it's fun toimagine what would be awesome
for you.
So, gosh, lise, that's soawesome to hear your story and
(29:56):
thank you for sharing.
I feel like the advice thatyou've given and the action
steps.

We've given them the insidertrack and now we're rolling it
out I would like to introduceyou to my new co-host, Lisa
Sarnowski.
Hello, co-host, it's soofficial.
(01:33):
Yeah, welcome.
You're kind of a big deal, allright.
Well, for all of the listenerswho've heard you on the podcast
before, thank you so much forlistening.
But for all of the newlisteners who maybe haven't
gotten to know you, lisa, orheard about you, can you do a
quick intro?
Just maybe tell a little bitabout yourself, because I love
(01:55):
you, but I'd love for all of ourlisteners to fall in love with
you as well.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
No pressure, I know.
Okay, let's see a little bitabout me.
I have been coaching for 14years.
I started in the holistichealth and wellness space and
then I moved to the onlinecoaching business coaching space
and then, most recently, I'vebeen business coaching a lot of
people across industries.
I am married and I have twokids.
(02:23):
We live over in Milwaukee, inBayview, and most recently we
are officially Globetrotters.
We have actually done someinternational travel with the
kids now, which has been superfun.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Very cool.
I love it.
So we're both moms, we're bothstarting to wrap up summer and a
lot of our listeners have kidsas well.
Any advice, being the brilliantwoman that you are, for those
who have children, who areheaded back to school pretty
soon.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh, breathe, we are right there with you.
The timeline is real.
I know we've seen the memes andthe social media posts go out
that you only have 18 summerswith your kids and you have this
timeline.
I like to think that we get tohave whatever time we want with
our kids, and that doesn't haveto look traditional.
(03:18):
So school is coming.
That's wonderful.
I also think that we can chooseto embrace school how we want,
but I think education might be atopic for a different day.
So parents, moms, we got youBreathe into it.
A good menu plan can go a longway.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Ooh, that might be a topic for another podcast as
well.
Yes, Lisa definitely is theperson who taught me how to make
dinners, so you have to learnfrom you, like I did.
All right, well, as we are goinginto this new season of the
Paradigm you podcast, we aregoing to be covering a lot of
(04:00):
different topics and two of themthat we potentially just added
just in the last few minutes ofthis conversation over the
course of the next few weeks andmonths, but today I would
really like to talk about ourkids going back to school and
what that looks like for all ofthe parents and, quite frankly,
all of us who have that innerchild still nested within.
(04:22):
Lisa, can you talk to me alittle bit about what your
thoughts are when I say kids aregoing back and we have that
inner child that's in us.
That is probably coming out orbubbling up in some way?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, Do you remember back to school?
I remember there's this line inYou've Got Mail and Meg Ryan
talks about the smell of abouquet of freshly sharpened
pencils.
And I think of that becausewhen I go into a store and I'm
buying their school supplies, Ilove it.
It's just such an exciting timebecause and you can see the
little wonder in their eyes Notall of them might be excited for
(04:59):
one reason or another, butthere's a wonder, there's a
curiosity there, and recently Iwas thinking and I know we were
talking about it April aboutwhere does that sense of wonder
and dreaming go?
As an adult, Like we've had,we've dreamt our whole life.
(05:20):
We were encouraged to dream.
How many times as a kidyourself, were you asked what
are you going to be when yougrow up?
The answer to that for me is Istill don't know.
But yeah, I love to look attheir little sense of wonder and
curiosity and I really like tobring that into coaching because
(05:41):
as adults, I feel like that hasfaded for us, whether that's
because of our environment,whether it's because we're
adults.
Our head is down.
We have so much moreresponsibility.
You know, I think my parentsmade it look so easy.
When I look back at all theywere doing and really there's a
(06:03):
lot there, especially in ourworld today.
There's a lot flying at us asparents.
So adults, I think we can alllearn from our kids this time of
year.
They're jumping into a newclassroom or with a new teacher.
They're going to be hanging outwith new students and learning
a lot of new things, andcontinuing to fail while doing
it.
And when was the last time wedid that, you know?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
so that's what's been on my heart lately, and Lisa,
can you tell me, oh gosh, sorry,alarms that say drink water.
Actually that was a bus alarm.
Oh man, how did that alreadystart?
The buses are about to startcoming.
Preemptive alarm for buses in acouple of weeks.
(06:46):
But, Lisa, can you tell me whenyou think about that?
When do you think you?
Do you feel like you stoppeddreaming a little bit and
started putting your head down,or do you feel like your head is
up and you're still big eyedand full of wonder?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
who big eyed in full of wonder.
I think I'm that now, but whenI do look back, you know, in my
20s and late 20s for those ofyou that don't know me well I
lived abroad with my husband fora few years and that's when I
got into coaching and I wasactually commuted from Scotland
to New York City once a monthbecause that was before online
(07:25):
learning.
So I'm aging myself a littlebit here, but it was a slow burn
.
It was after I had my first sonand, yes, I had my own coaching
practice and, yes, I had otherresponsibilities or fun things
to do, but slowly but surely itwas like my whole life became
about my kids.
My whole life became about myfamily, and that's not to say
(07:48):
that that's bad.
I love being with my family.
They're amazing each one ofthem.
But it is to say that I startedputting so much time, effort
and energy into coaching theseyoung little people to see what
they wanted in life and whatthey wanted to experience and
what dreams they have right nowand how I can foster and engage
(08:08):
that development for them, thatI lost sight of asking those
same questions in myself, and Ithink that's common, right.
Like I look around and I can'ttell you.
I've had so many conversationsrecently with women in a certain
season of life and it justseems like they're stuck.
(08:29):
It seems like I keep hearingthese conversations of I don't
even know what now like is thisall there is?
And I feel that deeply in mybones because I definitely was
there.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
What got you out of there?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Ooh, good question, april, with the zingers today.
What got me out of there?
Well, a few things.
The first was just theawareness of it.
I have a vivid, vivid memory.
I could take you to the exactspot in my house where I looked
around and I realized I knewthis life.
I knew I would be married to anamazing spouse, that I have a
(09:08):
great relationship that Idefinitely do not take for
granted.
I'm very grateful I have twowonderful kids who make me grow
in ways I never thought possible, and I have this cute little
house.
And my father had passed on.
And I knew, as odd as it sounds,I knew that life.
I knew I'd have all thosethings.
(09:29):
And I remember looking in themirror, going now what I had no
idea, what was past that pointin my life, and to sit down and
to try to vision board or do allthe things people tell you to
do was near impossible, cause Ihad.
I didn't even give myself spaceto dream, to even think what
(09:53):
could even be next, because Ihad essentially gotten
everything in my life.
I had everything I knew hadalready actualized.
So from there, from that space,there's a few actions I took
that we can talk about more.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Whatever, yeah, I would love to talk about that,
but I think that's an importantpiece in recognizing that.
You know, some of us look atour lives and we're like, is
this, it Now what?
They might be feeling likethey're stuck or they can't
(10:33):
imagine anymore.
I know that's a conversationthat my husband and I have often
.
We're like wow, we neverthought we'd be in this position
, let alone what more could weeven imagine or dream about.
But I think, pushing ourselvesto challenge, is that an
(10:54):
identity piece, is that a story?
that we've been holding within,maybe nested At least.
I know.
Tony and I have thoseconversations often of how much
of our belief system and ourenvironment is tied to who we
were as little kids and what wegrew up believing was available
to us.
And now isn't it interesting tothink about?
(11:16):
you know, so Tony and I I don'tknow if you know this, leis we
both from a very, I mean fromwhen we were babies until, you
know, young kids, we both grewup in trailer parks and I did
not know that.
Yeah, we were both, you know,in mobile homes and so realizing
that place of life and thenwatching our families and our
(11:41):
parents grow like you said, theymade it look so easy and now
looking at where we are in ourlife and where we think we're
headed, and then what is thatstorytelling?
Our children?
We can get man.
We can noodle on that for hours, but I think one of the pieces
that's really interesting is atwhat point do you stop dreaming
(12:02):
and do you start?
believing this is all that'savailable.
And are we stuck or we're sodistracted thinking through how
we're going to parent ourchildren that we don't take the
time to actually dream ourselves?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
For you when you said you know.
You got to that point where youlooked around and you're like I
know this life.
I've always known that this isit.
How did you go from that to thegetting the clarity of like
what's next?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah Well, first of all, thank you for sharing
everything.
You and Tony are just man.
You guys are such a greatcouple, just such good role
models for everybody, truly, andan inspiration to me, because
having these conversations andbeing intentional about creating
the life you want is no joke,right?
But having those conversationswith people that don't hold
judgment, right, and that justwant what's best for you, I
(12:58):
think is the flip side to thecoin.
I don't know if you rememberthis, apes, but in it was end of
2018, I believe we went on thatretreat Was it 2018 or 2019
when we rented the B&B and I waslike, whatever entrepreneur
wants to pop in, pop in and work, I'm just gonna rent this place
(13:21):
for the weekend and whatever.
And you came and I remembervividly our conversation.
It was so pivotal for mebecause I was working on my
values.
It was after this conversationwhere I realized my life and I
thought I have a deep, deepvalue of health and yet I was
eating junk and I felt like junkand I slept like junk, and it's
(13:45):
not all big surprise, but so Idove deep into values again and
it was so.
I'll never forget this momentwith you, because we're sitting
in the room and you were pumpingright, because any good mom
entrepreneur like we've beenthere.
We've been pumping orbreastfeeding and having these
conversations with pivotal womenin our life, and I was sharing
(14:08):
with you my values.
And one of the values Ideclared and I owned for myself
was simplicity.
I wanted a simple life and youwent with all the other ones I
forget what they were health,wealth, whatever it was.
You're like yep, yep, yep.
Really, are you sure?
Because that was the year aftermy dad had died and that was
(14:30):
the year I also had declared toyou that I would say yes to
everything in my life.
And you were like that is not agood plan.
And I remember saying, oh, Iknow it's not, but I know it's
gonna flip something for me andit Burned me out so bad that I
was radically desiringsimplicity.
And because of thatconversation with you that
(14:52):
really started it for me.
Because of that conversationwith you, I paid more attention
to particular transformationaland spiritual podcasts I was
listening to.
I joined a particular coachingprogram and I just really put my
head down and tried to allowmyself the space to figure out
what I even wanted in thisseason of life as the person I
(15:15):
was now, because the person I amtoday, it's a version of who
I've always been.
You know, some, some people andsome coaches come out and say,
like reinvent yourself or dothis.
I don't, I don't believe inthat.
I think who you are is insideof you.
It's always been there.
But society, environment, peoplein our lives just consciously
(15:41):
or subconsciously, really dampenthat and we learn, especially
as women.
We learn how to be a chameleon.
We learn how to not use theirvoice.
We learn how to just be quietand passive and sit there and
whatever.
Not all the time.
I got in trouble.
A lot that can be anotherpodcast in school got kicked out
of class for speaking up way,and so that that really
(16:05):
kickstarted the journey for me.
But truly I allowed myself thespace to figure it out and To
not put a timeline on it.
When you're in business, whenyou're a mom, everything's got a
deadline Right.
Everything is like faster,bigger, better.
I didn't want any of that.
I just wanted to allow myselfthe space to figure it out and
(16:26):
allow myself to dream again.
When I did that, then I sat down.
I like to write.
I've had a story in my headthat I'm not a creative writer
and I'm actually a reallyhorrible storyteller that that
is something that I've beenworking through, and so just
Going to the table to sit downand write was interesting and I
(16:48):
really challenged myself to say,okay, who is Lisa 2.0?
Who is this like next levelversion of the woman that I just
really want to become andreally want to be, and in
hindsight it was veryexcruciating in the moment to
sit down and write and yet Iread it now and it's so.
It's just who I've always been,which is really entertaining,
(17:12):
and I put things in there that Ireally at the time never
thought would ever be possible.
Things specifically familycentric, like living up north
for a month.
I remember vividly hearing afamily doing that, thinking what
people do, that I didn't evenknow people did that.
How was that even thing?
And now that's our reality andour kids look forward to it
(17:36):
because we have a place up northand and I also put in their
traveling Europe with the kidsevery summer and we just took
our first trip and it wasamazing.
Oh, it was so cool, and it wasjust when you sit back and allow
yourself to dream again andwhat you were saying before
about you and Tony, like, whatare people even other, what are
(17:58):
other people even doing?
Right, because you just get soinsular in your own world view
that you kind of forget what'seven possible.
And it's also okay to experiment, to say do I like this, do I
not?
So the first year we went upnorth, for example, we went up
for two weeks like, oh, can Ieven handle it?
The answer was yes, and Iwanted more because there's no
(18:23):
internet and I love that.
And so I think allowingyourself to experiment with your
dreams is also kind of fun andit just kind of games.
It a little bit makes it fun,it's less serious.
As adults we just we're soserious and I just want more
play and fun and simplicity.
So but after I wrote that apes,the biggest thing for me was I
(18:49):
didn't believe it.
It was really hard for me.
I sat there and I was like,seriously, what am I allowed to
talk about on this podcast?
Anything?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
You can talk about anything.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Okay.
But I was like, who has thislike crazy, awesome, hot sex
life with their husband?
That's blob up, you know.
Well, the answer is well,that's me now, and a girl you
know, and, and who travelsEurope with their kids.
Actually, I live, we live asimple life.
(19:24):
We live a very lean, simplelife, but that doesn't make it
less abundant, and so learningto understand that an abundant
life for me is really about time, freedom and financial freedom
to be able to do these thingswas equally part of the journey.
But I took what I wrote and Ijust didn't believe it.
(19:44):
But I would read it to myself acouple of times a week and then
it became maybe once a day, andthen I started to kind of
imagine it.
Remember when you were a kid,you just lay on the ground
outside and look up at theclouds and you just dream about
anything Like oh, that cloudlooks like a dinosaur, or I'm
going to go on a trip with mycousin and that'll be amazing.
(20:06):
And I just kind of laid thereand I thought, well, what, I
don't even know what that wouldlook like, a trip to Europe,
where would we go?
What would we do?
And I just started exploring it, and the more I explored it,
the more I felt it, the more Igot excited about it and
everything just transformed fromthere Pretty incredible.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
So, if I'm hearing you correctly, you found
yourself at that stuck seasonwhere you had kind of stopped
dreaming, stopped imagining whatan incredible life could be,
and then you got yourselfunstuck by taking a few
different, aligned actions, andthose actions maybe didn't come
(20:51):
easily at first.
Is that accurate to say?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, so that's a beautiful summary, okay.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Wow, I'm guessing that there's a lot of people who
are listening to this podcastwho can probably relate.
So if you're listening to thispodcast and you're like man, is
that available to me?
Is that available?
Is that type of life availablefor me?
Like, yeah, that sounds amazingto live up north with no
internet for a month, or totravel with your children and
(21:23):
show them parts of the worldthat they would only watch on
YouTube Otherwise.
I was going to say read in abook, and now they're watching
me on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
They sure are.
There's probably some VR setthat puts them there.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Yeah, totally.
But I think, recognizing thatallowing yourself to dream a
little allows you to startcreating and crafting what the
life that you would like to havebecomes.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, you know, and it's a dance for me because I do
really value simplicity.
So doing these things andfiguring out how to do them and
keep my simplicity value intactis a fun challenge for me,
because I like a good challengetoo.
So it was a good way for me touse my brain.
But yeah, that stuck point isreal and I never really
(22:19):
identified what the word stuckso much as stagnant and just
kind of feeling very blah.
I just nothing excited me.
I just was going through themotions and I think there's a
lot of value in that being ableto maintain, being able to
survive and then on the otherside of it, at some point that
(22:43):
stagnation becomes the bigelephant in the room, right Like
that becomes.
The problem is I didn't want mylife anymore.
Truly, I did not want my lifeanymore.
I'm not saying that I wassuicidal, but I am saying that I
hated my life and after thathappened I was like I need to
(23:04):
figure this out.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
And I think a lot of people can relate to that.
They had different seasons oflife.
But recognizing like, yeah,that I've been there, I you know
, that's not speaking to me.
You know, I think a couple ofyears ago I did a podcast
talking about stagnation andthis image of a pond.
And if you imagine a pondthat's just sitting there with
(23:29):
no current going through it, themuck that just starts creeping
in and overtaking that, it justbecomes unbearable and kind of
gross after a while becausethere's no energetic flow.
But if you look at a pond thathas that current running through
it, oftentimes it's got thatfresh water, it's got a change
(23:52):
of scenery on a regular basis,it's got a lot more life that's
coming to it and passing throughit.
And I think you can apply thatto our life as well.
If you're just having thatstagnation or that feeling of
stuckness and you're not takingany kind of action or even
allowing yourself to imaginewhat that action could be,
(24:13):
eventually that muck is justgoing to overtake it and it's
not going to have that lifeenergy running through it.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
So that's a powerful visual and that's such a great
one, and I hope the listenersreally pay attention to that
visual.
Because, while I'm talking alittle bit about more planning
in your head and working perhapsmore with your mind, one thing
that I also did on the journeywas I just decided for 90 days
(24:41):
that I was just going to walk.
I had no purpose.
I had literally I'm walking toLake Michigan and back because
our house is fairly close, andit was just to see if I could do
it.
It was just to see if I couldbe committed.
It was just to be in motion,because we can get stuck in our
heads too much, right, and thenI had birds attacking me and all
(25:04):
sorts of funny stories that wecan talk about another day as
well.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
But yeah, I really appreciate you sharing this
because I think a lot of people,myself included, can relate to
this for anyone who's listeningand they're like, yeah, you know
, that's where I'm at right now.
I can totally relate.
What would you recommend arelet's just go with three, what
are like three things thatsomebody could do to get that
(25:31):
movement and that energy kind offlowing.
Again, like, what would yourecommend?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Great question.
So the first thing I would sayis allow yourself the
opportunity to just figure itout and, without a timeline,
allow yourself to dream again.
Lay down on the grass.
If you need to go for a walk,you know it's okay to get out of
(25:57):
your environment.
It's equally okay to just set afive minute timer on your work
day.
The key, though, is just toallow and take your pressure off
of yourself.
This isn't about judging whatyou want or don't want.
No, just pretend you were your44 year old kid self, and what
would that version of you want?
(26:18):
That's kind of exciting.
Also, share with us, because Ireally like to know what
people's dreams are.
Okay, the second I would say issit down and challenge yourself
to either verbally talk it outand record yourself, or I
fundamentally believe in thescience of writing out your 2.0
(26:39):
version of yourself.
So who is this next levelversion that you want to be?
I mean that he or she is insideof you.
They're there, right, and sojust let that person out.
And who does this person hangout with?
What do they do?
What do they like to talk about?
Where do they go?
(27:01):
And then, finally, I would say,play that script in your head as
often as possible.
So if you want to read it toyourself, if you want to
visualize it like, look at itand visualize certain elements
of it every single day,eventually you'll work into
multiple times a day and I thinkeventually it becomes your
(27:22):
state of mind.
It just becomes who you are.
And the coolest part about thethird one is you don't even need
to believe it at first, butjust do yourself the favor of
allowing yourself theopportunity by reading this
amazing 2.0 version of who youare.
Becoming.
So thanks, you know it soundsso simple and on some level it
(27:46):
sounds a little, I don't know,woo-woo, but I'm telling you, as
adults we tend to put andespecially women, we tend to put
everyone first right.
As moms, everyone else comesfirst and we kind of close off
that part of our brain thatdreams.
We close off that part of ourbrain that just allows.
And so I guess part of thealigned actions here is a
(28:09):
challenge to you to just dreamwhat do you want?
And maybe you already know it,which is even cooler because now
it'll happen faster if youwrite it out.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Pretty cool and you have the opportunity, if you're
feeling called, to share it andhave maybe a little
accountability for people torally alongside you.
You're welcome to share that onour social media page Paradigm
U right, absolutely.
That would be super fun to hearwhat other people are imagining
because then you get ideas.
(28:39):
Then you get, you know, you feelthat momentum and that energy
of like, ooh, that's cool, Ihadn't even thought of that one.
Yeah, that's how vast it is,absolutely Very cool.
You know, I tend to dosomething similar and I just ask
myself what would be awesome.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
What would be?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
so cool that would impress me.
It doesn't have to impressanybody else but it has to
impress me, and oftentimes thethings that I think would be
awesome and impress me rarelywould impress or do anything for
anyone else.
So it's a fun game to askyourself what actually does it
for you, Because then you're notlooking outward and saying,
okay, how can I keep up with youknow X, Y or Z person, but it's
(29:20):
what actually would light me up, Isn't it so fun?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That's brilliant, and so if you're listening and
you're getting stuck on theallowing or writing it out, go
back to that question.
That's brilliant, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Yeah, because everybody has something.
That's a completely differentthing.
We're all running a differentrace right, we're all coloring
with different crayons and we'rebuilt with a different game
plan ahead of us, so it's fun toimagine what would be awesome
for you.
So, gosh, lise, that's soawesome to hear your story and
(29:56):
thank you for sharing.
I feel like the advice thatyou've given and the action
steps.
They do seem really simple, butequally allowing yourself to
actually even carve out time tothink about those things, to
feel those things, to imagine.
Gosh, it just seems like itcould be a gift for yourself.
Yeah, for sure.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
