About this week's special guest:  Lisa McGregor

Lisa McGregor is Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women to embrace their new role of part-time parenting. For nearly two decades, Lisa has motivated women to help them improve their lives by learning to love their bodies through diet and exercise. The first 17 years of her career were spent in the fitness industry. Still, after going through a divorce in 2017 and struggling to accept this unplanned chapter of part-time parenting, she felt called to show how she could embrace this journey and began to see this adjustment as a gift.  Lisa quickly garnered a community of women who resonated and were ready to use their own co-parenting journey as a catalyst to a richer life. Lisa empowers Moms to leverage their time away to turn less into more. Lisa has shared her story on several podcasts & across multiple social media platforms and helps women put it all into action as a Life & Hypno Breath Work Coach.

With Soberlink, judges rest assured that your child is safe, attorneys get court-admissible evidence of sobriety, and both parents have empowerment and peace of mind.
